TU Delft

Current changes in the ‘system earth’ will have a profound impact on the future standard of living. Most prominently, climate and energy are the themes of great and immediate concern, with widespread bifurcations in fields such as the availability of water and food, global warming and its effects on sea level and weather intensity, but also on the most effective exploration and exploitation of the Earth’s subsurface resources. In all these fields, it is evident that the Earth is a system in which oceans, solid earth, atmosphere, land cover, and cryosphere interact in complex ways and on many possible scale levels. Delft technical university is frontrunner in its efforts to understand, predict and exploit system Earth by focusing on this interaction, via observations and modeling. At the department of Geoscience and Remote Sensing Delft technical university studies planet Earth in all its facets, using state-of the art satellite and earth-based sensors. Fundamental disciplines such as geophysics, geodesy and atmospheric sciences are the core competences of Delft University which are valuable for Waterwatch Cooperative.

Wageningen University

Achieving sustainable food security is a major challenge. The vision of Wageningen University is to integrate biological knowledge to analyze and design sustainable production systems for crops focused on resource use efficiency and equitable management of natural resources. The Plant Sciences of Wageningen University are linked to a sector that is very important to the international economy. WUR covers all aspects of crop production, ranging from plant breeding and the development of methods to the production of food. The Plant Sciences programme has been designed to help meet the worldwide demand for scientific expertise in the development of plant and crop production and farming systems. It covers next to technological aspects of crop production, also deals with important environmental, quality, health and socio-economic aspects. Interdisciplinarity is a hallmark of the programme that is in line to what Waterwatch Cooperative aims to achieve.
