Lars Tierolf overhauled flood risk modeling in the GEB-model/GEB repository, replacing placeholder data with real flood maps and integrating dynamic risk perception based on historical events. He improved spatial data workflows by implementing coordinate reference system handling and streamlined household generation for more robust simulations. Using Python, NumPy, and Numba, Lars optimized performance-critical paths with just-in-time compilation and migrated damage calculations to the honeybees library for greater accuracy. His work included refactoring code for clarity, enhancing API usability, and fixing simulation stability issues, resulting in a more maintainable, reliable, and accurate platform for flood risk and population analysis.
April 2025 (GEB-model/GEB): Focused on strengthening spatial data workflows, reliability, and maintainability to accelerate decision support and improve data quality for flood risk and population analysis. Delivered four key feature areas, fixed stability issues impacting simulations outside spin-up, and enhanced API clarity and code health.
