Introduction to Stochastic Hydrology

Hydrologic systems are both complex and extremely heterogeneous in time and space. As hydrological models are simplified versions of reality, their predictions are by definition subject to uncertainty. The field of stochastic hydrology focuses on quantifying this uncertainty along with prediction. This book aims to present an overview of the field of stochastic hydrology at an introductory level. A wide range of topics and methods will be treated, while each topic and method is only treated at a basic level: descriptive statistics; probability and random variables; hydrological statistics and extremes; random functions; time series analysis; geostatistics; forward stochastic modeling; and state prediction and Kalman filtering. The book can be used for a 10-15-week course at third-year undergraduate or first-year graduate level.

AgriLemma 2.0: A serious game for exploring dilemmas in agriculture

In AgriLemma, you are a farmer in Europe managing your own farm across 8 seasons. You grow six types of crops — potatoes, sugar beets, rapeseed, corn, wheat, and chickpeas — each requiring resources such as seeds, water, nutrients, and workers. Players must run, invest in, and improve their farm with sustainable technologies while balancing competing priorities and navigating uncertainties like weather events and pest attacks. The objective is to maximize overall farm health, which is determined by three dimensions: environmental health (positive ecological impact), social health (worker satisfaction), and financial health (farm profitability). Players must strategize across all three dimensions simultaneously — decisions that boost profit may come at an environmental cost, and vice versa. The game makes these trade-offs tangible, encouraging reflection on what sustainable farming really requires. ------------------------------ Learning objectives: · Experiment with different strategies — to operationalize and adapt an approach under pressure, and to reflect on how well it held up. · Expose students to issues of risk management — to plan, control, and explain the reasoning behind in-game choices relating to sustainability, soil conservation practices, integrated crop management, weeding, and pest management, and to learn how to respond when conditions change. · Experience the complexity of decision-making — to take into account weather and policy uncertainties, sustainability pressures, economic realities, and the broader context in which farm decisions are made. --------------------------------Practical information: · Format: Board game (physical/ print-and-play) · Players: 2-4 players (extendable to 8 by playing in teams of 2) · Duration: 3 hours, including onboarding and debrief · Level: Higher education / Stakeholder engagement · Language: English --------------------------------Credits: AgriLemma was originally designed as part of the WATERAGRI project. The second version, including a full redesign of the graphics, was developed with funding support from the TU Delft Open Science Programme course "Civic Engagement in Action: Empowering Researchers and Educators to Make an Impact". Game design: Dr. ir. Aashna Mittal - TU Delft, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management Graphic design and illustration: Gracia Bovenberg-Murris and Michelle de Smit – TU Delft GameLab Note on image generation: The images in the tech cards and the border of the main game board were created using AI-generated imagery. The constructed wetlands card image is also AI-generated. All other cards and box art are hand-drawn or created in Adobe Illustrator. Note on usability: The print-and-play version of the game has been optimized for office printing.

Scholingstraject AI-geletterdheid (UBVU)

Deze collectie bestaat uit verschillende materialen van het scholingstraject AI-geletterdheid. De doelgroep van dit specifieke traject is medewerkers bij de Universiteitsbibliotheek VU. Je kan het materiaal ook met eventueel wat aanpassingen ook voor andere doelgroepen gebruiken. Het scholingstraject bestaat uit 4 sessies: Introductie in AI Toelichting: Algemene introductie over wat AI is. Welke begrippen moet je weet van hebben? Wat kan een taalmodel? Etc. Verder diende deze sessie om het beginniveau van collega’s te bepalen, zodat wij hier rekening mee konden houden voor de opvolgende sessies. Effectief prompten Toelichting: Dit is een praktisch onderdeel, met als doel op een effectieve manier te leren prompten om de juiste informatie te verkrijgen. Verantwoord & kritisch omgaan met AI Toelichting: Dit is een meer theoretisch onderdeel met veel ruimte voor gesprek en discussie, over onderwerpen als: duurzaamheid, big tech, etc. AI-tools & werk Toelichting: In deze sessie nodigden wij 3 collega’s uit om hun ervaringen te delen en een demo te geven hoe zij AI gebruiken in hun werk. In deze collectie vind je de slides met inhoudelijke stof en interactieve opdrachten, inclusief een PDF voor de gebruikte exit ticket en toetsmatrijs (met leerdoelen gekoppeld aan de taxonomie van Bloom). Verder is ook een link naar de e-learning ‘AI-geletterdheid voor UB-medewerkers’ opgenomen. Deze werd gebruikt als aanvulling (voor- en/of nabereiding) op de fysieke sessies. Als laatste is een eindopdracht toegevoegd met bijbehorende rubric.

Week 2: Analysing a Case

Around an inspiring video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. Essential case-solving techniques to help students tackle complex real-world problems, are being introduced and trained. The instructors explain that effective analysis goes beyond listing facts—it’s about uncovering insights that address the “so what” question. Key methods covered include critical thinking, analytical frameworks (like VRIO, Porter’s 5 Forces, and GAP analysis), and the 5 WHY technique for identifying root causes. Using a concrete case example, they show how a deeper issue—ineffective communication—was the true cause of low user engagement. By the end of this lesson, students understand how to structure their analysis, avoid common mistakes, and use insights to drive solution development.

Week 5: The special Role of Finance

Around an informative video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. In clear language and step by step, it is explained why finance plays an important role in the case-solving process. Since students often find this challenging, a separate lesson is dedicated to this managerial area. Students learn how to integrate financial reasoning into their analysis and recommendations, even when limited data is available. Key topics include identifying revenue streams, estimating costs, projecting financial outcomes, and evaluating risk. With a focus on practical tools like forecasting, ROI, and risk matrices, this lesson helps students build confidence in using finance to strengthen their case arguments and support strategic decisions.

Week 3: Creating and Selecting Options

Around this video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. The next steps in the case-solving cycle are being explained: generating and selecting solutions. Students explore ideation techniques like brainwriting and mind mapping to develop creative, practical ideas. Ground rules help keep the process focused, collaborative, and open. To evaluate ideas, the SFA framework (Suitability, Feasibility, Acceptability) is used to shortlist the most promising options. A real-world example shows how these tools lead to well-founded decisions. Finally, students learn to apply a decision-making matrix to compare options using relevant criteria. This lesson helps students move from insights to action by developing structured, team-driven solutions.
