Research Partnerships and Consortia
For funders and research organisations assembling water risk or climate adaptation programmes. We bring methodological depth in AI-supported probabilistic hydrology, stochastic simulation, and decision support. Our track record spans national research councils, operational hydrology agencies, and long-term industry partnerships across Europe and North America.
Active interest areas:
- EU Horizon water and climate calls
- DFG collaborative research centres (SFB) and priority programmes (SPP)
- BMFTR climate adaptation programmes
- Bilateral research partnerships: e.g., Germany–UK, Germany–Canada, Germany–US
Contract Research and Technical Consulting
For utilities, engineering firms, reinsurance teams, and public authorities needing specific probabilistic analyses: return level estimation, IDF curve construction, stochastic scenario generation, uncertainty quantification. Engagements are scoped, time-bounded, and deliverable-oriented.
Example deliverables:
- Probabilistic IDF curves and design-event specifications under climate change
- Stochastic hydroclimatic scenario ensembles for a specified region or hazard type
- AI-supported and data-driven risk assessment for infrastructure, insurance, and adaptation planning
- Uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis for existing models or assessments
- Expert review of probabilistic methods in existing risk frameworks
Data Intelligence
Large hydroclimatic datasets — ERA5, CMIP6, GPCC, satellite products, national gauge networks — are publicly available but technically demanding. Retrieving, quality-checking, formatting, and analysing them at scale requires expertise most organisations do not have in-house. We do. This is a fee-based service for organisations that have a data need and want expert support to address it.
What this service covers:
- Dataset identification, retrieval, and format conversion
- Quality control, gap-filling, and consistency checking
- Statistical characterisation and analysis tailored to your application
- Documentation and delivery in formats suited to your workflow
- Datasets produced by the GWS group are also available for external use under this service
Suitable for: engineering firms, public water authorities, environmental consultancies, insurance teams, and research groups lacking dedicated data expertise.
