Fiorillo, Diana (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Xenochristou, Maria (author), De Paola, Francesco (author), Giugni, Maurizio (author)Assessing the impact of climate change on water demand is a challenging task. This paper proposes a novel methodology that quantifies this impact by establishing a link between water demand and weather based on climate change scenarios, via Coupled General Circulation Models. These models simulate the response of the global climate system to...journal article 2021

Mubeen, Adam (author), Ruangpan, L. (author), Vojinovic, Zoran (author), Torrez, Arlex Sanchez (author), Plavšić, Jasna (author)Adverse effects of climate change are increasing around the world and the floods are posing significant challenges for water managers. With climate projections showing increased risks of storms and extreme precipitation, the use of traditional measures alone is no longer an option. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) offer a suitable alternative to...journal article 2021

Ke, Q. (author), Yin, Jiangshan (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Savage, Nicholas (author), Buonomo, Erasmo (author), Ye, Qinghua (author), Visser, P.J. (author), Dong, Guangtao (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Climate change leads to sea level rise worldwide, as well as increases in the intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones (TCs). Storm surge induced by TC’s, together with spring tides, threatens to cause failure of flood defenses, resulting in massive flooding in low-lying coastal areas. However, limited research has been done on the...journal article 2021

Kusters, Niek (author)The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a key component in the Earth System. Given its important role in the climate system, variability in the AMOC strength is expected to have great impact on the global climate. The current observational timeseries are not long enough to make climate projections for the end of the century or...master thesis 2020

Frölke, Reinier (author)It is no secret that the climate is changing, however, the severity and speed of this process is under debate. This leads to the question if and when we need to take action to protect the Netherlands against the effects of climate change. In order to deal with the uncertainties in policy- and decision-making, an adaptive approach is desirable....master thesis 2020

Sanil, P.H. (author)Parkstad is a shrinking region especially after the closing of the mines, the social and economic impact was huge. Another major problem which still can be experienced today is the degraded landscape which was left behind. By seeing the operational landscape as inseparable from the urban fabric, and linking them again in a functional as well as...master thesis 2020

Agliati, Stefano (author)In recent years, processes of urbanisation have been changing the face of the world as we know it. A whole new landscape is being built, one with many more challenges and externalities than the previous one. <br/>Besides the correlation that these intense urbanisation processes have with climate change, more subtly, they relate to a conceptual...master thesis 2020

Zhang, Yingjie (author)The Netherlands has a long and fascinating history with water to keep its land safe and dry. Recently, when the country is exposed to a changing climate, it is at the turning point to shift from defensive water control to adaptive and integrated management. Landscape design has a role to play in endowing water and water management with new...master thesis 2020

Burgers, F. (author)The resiliency of coral reef islands to changing environments associated with climate change is controlled by the delicate balance between the import and export of sediment. The majority of the sediment is derived from coral reefs for which the stability of these islands is directly related to reef health. Understanding the sediment signature...student report 2020

Liu, Qiaodan (author)In many parts of the world, water retained in snowpack and glaciers are critical to the stability of downstream ecosystems and human society. This study sets out to quantify, map, and explain the spatiotemporal pattern of annual snow cover duration, which are quantified by regional differences in the number of annual snow cover days (Dsc) and...master thesis 2020

Mészáros, L. (author), van der Meulen, F.H. (author), Jongbloed, G. (author), El Serafy, G.Y.H. (author)Available climate change projections, which can be used for quantifying future changes in marine and coastal ecosystems, usually consist of a few scenarios. Studies addressing ecological impacts of climate change often make use of a low- (RCP2.6), moderate- (RCP4.5) or high climate scenario (RCP8.5), without taking into account further...journal article 2020
