9 Challenge the future TU Delft Institutes Extreme weather and the city Climate change and rapid urbanisation will result in increasing water management problems in urban areas through this century. Urban areas are particularly vulnerable due their high population densities and high concentration industrial and infrastructural assets. Sea level rise and mass transport How does the ice mass of Greenland, Antarctica or of glaciers change over time? What will be the effect on the sea level? Aerosols, radiation and clouds The interaction between fine dust particles in the air, the formation of clouds and the effect of clouds on climate change may be easily explained, but is notoriously hard to capture in scientific models. Climate information and policy Our society is dependant on energy and transport networks. Extreme weather causes local incidents which could lead to nationwide disruptions of traffic, trains and energy supply. Example: climate institute
