Marit Haaksma

Marit Haaksma serves as a Lecturer and Researcher at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, actively contributing to Ted Veldkamp's Climate and Water research group. Her work centers on climate adaptation strategies for private land, with a specialized case study examining building envelope modifications and land use dynamics on Noordereiland in Rotterdam, addressing critical urban resilience challenges.

Her research spans Climate Adaptation, Urban Land Management, Building Engineering, and Environmental Science, focusing on practical solutions for private property adaptation to climate change in densely populated urban settings. This interdisciplinary work integrates engineering principles with environmental policy considerations to develop implementable resilience frameworks.

As a core member of the Climate and Water research group, she participates in applied projects targeting real-world climate-water challenges in Rotterdam's urban landscape, emphasizing community-level adaptation and sustainable infrastructure development.
