Floris Calkoen is a PhD candidate in coastal science, experienced in global coastal analysis and specialized in studying the impacts of coastal erosion with accelerating sea-level rise. His work bridges science, data, and policy — using satellite data, AI, and cloud technology to study how climate change and human developments together increasingly put the coastal zone under pressure and to identify places that need action today to mitigate risk in the near future. While this work has made him skilled in cloud-native geospatial analytics, his current focus is on using these technologies to map, assess, and quantify climate risks, creating incentives for a green societal transformation. As we are starting to adapt our lives to climate change, we are coming to realize that green is good, that green is growth, and that green is wealth.

This website primarily serves as a place where I document my professional career. Here you will find my Résumé, a more detailed Curriculum Vitae, and occasionally I add some of my writings here as well. Please feel free to get in touch.
