Sediment and material transport are fundamental drivers of river ecosystem health, coastal stability, and the structural integrity of hydraulic infrastructure. Yet, simulating these movements with high precision, especially when factoring in rapid environmental changes, has historically been a monumental computational challenge. As part of the HiDALGO2 project, the Material Transport in Water (MTW) pilot is […]

As climate change intensifies, the nature of wildfires is undergoing a fundamental shift. They are no longer merely landscape events but have become complex atmospheric phenomena—often described as the “atmosphere in combustion.” Addressing these high-energy, destructive events requires more than traditional observation; it demands the immense processing power of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and the precision

How can we effectively renovate millions of buildings to meet climate goals? How can cities assess urban regeneration and climate-adaptation policies, improve indoor air quality and summer comfort, and prepare for heatwaves and other extreme events? At the HiDALGO2 clustering event, Christophe Prud’homme, Professor at the University of Strasbourg and leader of the Urban Buildings

Urban environments face a silent challenge: the air we breathe and the invisible winds that shape our daily comfort. From the “canyon effect” of narrow streets trapping pollutants to the sudden danger of an accidental toxic gas release, understanding urban airflow is a necessity for public safety and sustainable city planning. As part of the
