Lambert, Ingrid (author), Parodi, Matteo (author), Vieira Passos, Marlon (author), Caldera, Ganga (author), Almadhoun, Yasser (author)Relative sea level rise and climate change represent long-term threats for the ecosystems and flood defence system in the Wadden Sea. Moreover, the flood-dominant tidal basins in the area lead to sedimentation in the navigational channels used by the ferry services that connect the mainland to the Dutch Wadden islands. This report provides flood...student report 2018

With its unique location came unique problems, most of which were related to the interplay between Venice and its lagoon. By severe measures in the past it has continued to withstand the test of time. <br/...student report 2021

Michailidou, E. (author)Today’s climate warming is unequivocal. Evidence from observations and satellite records show that Arctic Ocean is losing its summer sea ice cover with a rapid pace and is dominated by young and thinner ice. The ice loss has already caused heating of the overlying atmosphere. At the same time, the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) surface mass balance...student report 2017

van Eeden, Paul (author), Yao, Xinqi (author), Richard, Céleste (author), Jansen, Anouk (author)While attempting to find an answer to the question of how we could become sustainable and circular by 2050, we discovered that it was quite difficult to even imagine what South Holland, the Netherlands or the world, for that matter, would look like. The questions that arose quite quickly were, among others: how many people will live here then?...student report 2021

Mulder, Milou (author), Stecher, Emilie (author), Tarozzo Kawasaki, Maria (author), te Velde, Roos (author), Wu, Jiaying (author)The Netherlands, and in particular South–Holland, is to a large extent below sea level, making the region vulnerable to environmental challenges linked to climate change. According to IPCC, a sea-level rise of two to five metres is not excluded, while the Delta committee advised the government recently to not invest in new infrastructure in the...student report 2022

Wang, Yanjiao (author)The research focuses on the estate zone of the Baakse Beek region which is facing environmental problems mainly caused by historical human intervention and climate change. Besides, in the Vorden cluster, as the land use changing caused by intense land reclamation and consolidation, the current agriculture productive landscape makes it not easy...master thesis 2020

Kuijk, D. (author)The urban area is complex. It consists of buildings, roads, green areas and surface water. The subsurface is just as complex. Interaction between groundwater and drainage, seepage from deeper groundwater aquifers and interaction with surface water make it difficult to determine what is happening. The urban area is also sensitive to damages, both...master thesis 2015

Konings, V. (author)Since 2008, for the first time in history, more than 50% of the world’s population lives in cities. This development can be seen in the Mekong delta in Southern Vietnam, one of the world’s most threatened delta areas related to climate change. This area is experiencing a quick process of urbanisation and economic growth. Meanwhile, large areas...master thesis 2012

Holst, E. (author)Financial feasibility study of urban development in lowland polders in the Netherlands, where different spatial designs are evaluated for the Westergouwe. In the near future, the competing demand for new housing and water storage in the Randstad have to be met, whilst guaranteeing the safety against rising sea level and extreme weather conditions.master thesis 2009

Who takes a look at the maps of Netherland spread through the centuries, realizes how structuring the water is for the Delta. The Dutch don’t panic when there is a large storm flood or when the riverbanks are flooded again. They deal with the water...master thesis 2016

Kebede, A.S. (author)Coastal zones are highly vulnerable to climate change and its variability. Future projections of global climate change suggest that relative sea-level rise and increased storm frequencies could lead to significant increases in coastal flooding and shoreline erosion. Associated with this, it is likely that coastal hazards can have the potential...master thesis 2009

Kulkarni, Shridhar (author)Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are greatly influential in global climate policy discussions and decision making. Mainstream IAMs suggest climate mitigation pathways which amount to making very little changes to emissions, consumption, and investment patterns in the short term. Instead, they rely on back-loading the mitigation efforts to...master thesis 2020

YU, HONGXUAN (author)Urbanization makes cities more vulnerable in the face of climate change risks. Understanding urban growth under climate change can help planners optimize land allocation and development strategies that are resilient to the impacts of climate change. However, the complexity and uncertainty of climate change hinder the urban...master thesis 2021
