DigiLab

To understand how coastal ecosystems are affected by climate change, and to forecast how they will change and adapt, it is essential to collect environmental data and to integrate these into mathematical models. We use a range of techniques, varying from field observations, remote sensing and image analysis, to collect large amounts of data with modern technology. Processing these datasets and integrating them in mathematical, physical and visual models for projection of the future state of coastal (eco)systems is the core business of the Digital Lab Facility (DigiLab)

Mathematical modelling With mathematical models we aim to understand and predict what future brings
Remote sensing & Big data Using special workflows, we process huge data sets into accessible information
Hydrodynamical modelling With hydrodynamical models we aim to simulate the impact of sea-level change
Visualizing & digital twins With virtual reality we provide a lifelike glimpse of what the future will bring
Field observation & Data We gather extensive datasets on physical, ecological and chemical processes
New website for NIOZ

This year we are going to redesign and technically improve the NIOZ website. We would like to take your opinion as website visitor into account.

By answering 10 questions you can help us enormously! It will take you no longer than 4 minutes. You can win a NIOZ t-shirt and a book voucher to the value of EUR 25 if you fill in the questions.

Thank you for your help!

No, sorry! Yes! I'll help out!
