Agoungbome, David (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Climate variability poses great challenges to food security in West Africa, a region heavily dependent on rainfall for farming. Identifying sowing strategies that minimize yield losses for farmers in the region is crucial to securing their livelihood. In this paper, we investigate three sowing strategies to assess their ability to identify safe...journal article 2024

Estebanez Camarena, M. (author), Taormina, R. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)Food and economic security in West Africa rely heavily on rainfed agriculture and are threatened by climate change and demographic growth. Accurate rainfall information is therefore crucial to tackling these challenges. Particularly, information about the occurrence and length of droughts as well as the onset date of the rainy season is...journal article 2023

Zimba, H.M. (author), Coenders-Gerrits, Miriam (author), Kawawa, Banda (author), Schilperoort, B. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Nyambe, Imasiku (author), Savenije, Hubert (author)The trend and magnitude of actual evaporation across the phenophases of miombo woodlands are unknown. This is because estimating evaporation in African woodland ecosystems continues to be a challenge, as flux observation towers are scant if not completely lacking in most ecosystems. Furthermore, significant phenophase-based discrepancies in both...journal article 2023

Eisma, J.A. (author), Schoups, G.H.W. (author), Davids, Jeffrey C. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)High-quality citizen science data can be instrumental in advancing science toward new discoveries and a deeper understanding of under-observed phenomena. However, the error structure of citizen scientist (CS) data must be well-defined. Within a citizen science program, the errors in submitted observations vary, and their occurrence may depend on...journal article 2023

van der Heijden, T.J.T. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Palensky, P. (author), Abraham, E. (author)The Netherlands is a low-lying country situated in the Rhine-Meuse delta. A significant portion of the Netherlands is located below sea level, making the proper management of local and national waterways essential. Polders are used to manage groundwater levels, drain excess rainwater, and store water during times of drought. These polders often...conference paper 2023

Kaandorp, C. (author), Pessoa, Igor T.Moreno (author), Pesch, U. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Decarbonisation of the built environment is needed to abate the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. In the city of Amsterdam, multiple bottom-up initiatives have been initiated to reach these goals. In this paper, we explore how energy justice is reshaped by these initiatives on an urban scale. This is done by a case study on a...journal article 2023

Gründemann, Gaby J. (author), Zorzetto, E. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Global warming impacts the hydrological cycle, affecting the seasonality and timing of extreme precipitation. Understanding historical changes in extreme precipitation occurrence is crucial for assessing their impacts. This study uses relative entropy to analyze historical changes in seasonality and timing of extreme daily precipitation...journal article 2023

(author)Quantifying the magnitude and frequency of extreme precipitation events is key in translating climate observations to planning and engineering design. Past efforts have mostly focused on the estimation of daily extremes using gauge observations. Recent development of high-resolution global precipitation products, now allow estimation of...journal article 2023

Estebanez Camarena, M. (author), Curzi, Fabio (author), Taormina, R. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)West African food systems and rural socio-economics are based on rainfed agriculture, which makes society highly vulnerable to rainfall uncertainty and frequent floods and droughts. Reliable rainfall information is currently missing. There is a sparse and uneven rain gauge distribution and, despite continuous efforts, rainfall satellite products...journal article 2023

(author)The dependency structure between hydrological variables is of critical importance to hydrological modelling and forecasting. When a copula capturing that dependence is fitted to a sample, information on the uncertainty of the fit is needed for subsequent hydrological calculations and reasoning. A new method is proposed to report inferential...journal article 2023

Agoungbome, David (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Climate change is exacerbating adverse impacts of water stress in rainfed agriculture. This paper seeks to identify safe sowing windows for smallholder farmers in the Sudanian region of West Africa (WA). We hypothesize that the traditional focus on the onset of the season to start sowing leads to crop losses in years of high rainfall...journal article 2023

(author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)Low-cost dual-frequency receivers and antennas have created opportunities for a wide range of new applications, in regions and disciplines where traditional GNSS equipment is unaffordable. However, the major drawback of using low-cost antenna equipment is that antenna phase patterns are typically poorly defined. Therefore, the noise in...journal article 2022
