PhD Candidate, Department of Industrial Ecology, Leiden University In 2019, Anniek received her BSc diploma in Future Planet Studies with a major in Earth Sciences at the University of Amsterdam. She then continued her studies with a joint degree study of Delft University of Technology and Leiden University. She pursued a joint MSc degree in Industrial Ecology in 2021. For her MSc thesis, she assessed the carbon storage potential of urban soils in a medium-sized city in the Netherlands. Anniek started as a PhD researcher at the Industrial Ecology department of CML in September 2021. Anniek participates in the ‘Decarbonizing Denmark 70by30: Getting the data right’ project. Her PhD project focuses on obtaining higher geographical resolution by subdividing highly aggregated regions.
PhD Candidate in History, University of Cambridge Alex White is a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, where his work focuses on anti-colonial radio broadcasting and its influence in British East Africa. He uses government records, broadcasting archives and memoirs to reconstruct the complex role of radio in promoting radical politics and unsettling the colonial state. He is the author of several academic articles, including 'Broadcasting Brotherhood? Interactive Diplomacy and Postcolonial Identity in Kol Yisrael’s African Services, 1960-1966' (2022) and 'Who Will Overthrow Imperialism with Me? Culture and Interactivity in Anti-Colonial Radio for Africans, 1956-1964' (2020).

Professor in Climate Change Impacts, Cardiff University My current research is on wind erosion and dust emission and particularly representing these processes in aerosol and atmospheric transport models to improve regional and global carbon (C), dust (D), energy (E) and water (W) cycles and human impact on global climate. Following Raupach & Lu (2004) I try to balance the fidelity of aeolian processes with the parsimony necessary for large scale models. Albedo, its complement shadow and its parameterisation of aerodynamic shelter across scales has risen above the variety of methods and techniques I've tried over the years including 137Cs, geostatistics, soil bi-directional spectral reflectance measurement and modelling using wind tunnel and field experiments.
