Flooding disrupts emergency response
In this blog I reflect on what led to the article we recently published in Nature Sustainability. Through this reflection, I highlight two crucial ingredients for this study.
Bose-Einstein condensation of quasi-particles by rapid cooling
The technique of rapid cooling could be a new way to achieve Bose-Einstein condensation. This has been demonstrated for magnon quasi-particles in magnetic nanostructures.
Back to the future with regional climate modelling
Almost a century ago, against the backdrop of the Great Depression, North America's Great Plains were devastated by drought, dust and record heat—known as the Dust Bowl decade. We set out to understand more about the Dust Bowl heatwaves and to achieve this, we sought help from people world-wide.
