I'm Niklas Jordan, a geologist working at the intersection of flood risk, climate hazards, and geospatial data.

My work spans hydrology, Earth observation, and flood risk — from modelling how water moves to figuring out what the results mean for the people and places in its path. My work often comes down to one question: how do you get good information to the people who actually need it?

Europe doesn't have a shortage of flood models or climate data — it has a last-mile problem. The numbers exist, but they rarely reach the homeowner, the planner, or the community in a form they can act on.

This blog is where I write about that work: flood and climate risk, the data and tools behind it. Expect posts on flood risk, Earth observation, hydrology, and the messy business of turning data into decisions — usually with a bias toward what it means for real communities rather than the last decimal of model precision — and the occasional detour into whatever I'm currently puzzling over.

No fixed schedule, no grand thesis — just notes from someone who spends a lot of time thinking about climate and risk.
