PROFILE

Tierolf

Lars Tierolf developed advanced coastal and flood risk modeling capabilities for the GEB-model/GEB repository, focusing on scalable, region-aware simulations and robust data workflows. He engineered integrations for geospatial datasets and coastal hazard modules using Python, Pandas, and GeoPandas, enabling unified coastal–riverine analysis and streamlined data ingestion. His work included refactoring legacy modules, implementing data adapters, and enhancing model fidelity through improved configuration management and code quality practices. By introducing ASC/TIFF GIS support, YAML-based configuration, and rigorous testing, Lars ensured maintainable, production-ready pipelines that support reliable risk assessments and faster deployment cycles for complex environmental modeling scenarios.

Aug 1, 2025

August 2025 monthly summary for GEB-model/GEB focusing on coastal flood risk modeling enhancements and data robustness. Delivered integrated surge hydrographs using the dullaarts hgrapher method and produced storm surge hydrographs for stations within model bounds. Built the coastal sfincs app and generated all return-period coastal flood maps, then merged these with riverine flood maps to enable unified flood risk visualization. Underwent a codebase refactor for renaming and restructuring to improve maintainability and reduce complexity. Implemented robustness/data handling improvements across the pipeline, including floodmap CRS updates, handling GDL regions with no buildings, bounds buffers for GT historical stations, and filtering inland-related data. Refactored the station data pipeline to remove for loops and leverage model files in hydrographs, and began exporting GTSM data to a table for performance considerations. Initiated OECD income distribution data integration and vector scanner alignment; expanded code quality, typing, and documentation efforts; disabled long-running progress bars to improve UX. Added tests for household decisions and decision horizon to strengthen reliability.
