Noll, B.L. (author)Floods appear in many of the world's oldest stories (i.e. Noah and the Arc in the Abrahamic religions, Manu in Hinduism, and the Gun-Yu myth in Chinese mythology). When observed historically, they often have an element of mysticism about them, symbolizing eradication and rebirth. In the present, however, there is little that is mystical about...doctoral thesis 2023

Vianello, L. (author), Ivaldi, Serena (author), Aubry, Alexis (author), Peternel, L. (author)Collaborative robots (cobots) have the potential to augment the productivity and life quality of human operators in the context of Industry 4.0 by providing them with physical assistance. For this reason, it is necessary to define the relationship between humans and cobots and to study how the two agents adapt to each other. However, to the...journal article 2023

Nadin, V. (author), Meng, Meng (author)China and Europe have the common problem of mitigating flood risk, a problem partly created from poor management of the urban transition now compounded by the effects of climate change on sea level and extreme weather events. Adaptation to these effects requires extensive cooperation between administrative jurisdictions and policy sectors to...book chapter 2023

Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)In this contribution we present a review of the DIA-method to ensure navigational integrity. The DIA-method rigorously combines parameter estimation and statistical testing for the Detection, Identification and Adaptation of multivariate and multiple model misspecifications. We describe the statistical properties of the so-obtained DIA...journal article 2023

Lin, M. (author), Nevzgodin, I. (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author), de Jonge, W. (author)Purpose: Attributes conveying cultural significance play a key role in heritage management, as well as in differentiating interventions in built heritage. However, seldom the relation between interventions and attributes, either tangible or intangible, has been researched systematically. How do both tangible and intangible attributes and...journal article 2023

Kouba, V. (author), Bachmannová, Ch (author), Podzimek, T. (author), Lipovová, P. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)The adaptation of bacteria involved in the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) to low temperatures in the mainstream of WWTP will unlock substantial treatment savings. However, their adaptation mechanisms have begun to be revealed only very recently. This study reviewed the state-of-the-art knowledge on these mechanisms from -omics studies...review 2022

Kouba, V. (author), D, Vejmelkova (author), E, Zwolsman (author), K, Hurkova (author), K, Navratilova (author), M, Laureni (author), Pabst, Martin (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Weissbrodt, D.G. (author)Anammox bacteria enable efficient removal of nitrogen from sewage in processes involving partial nitritation and anammox (PN/A) or nitrification, partial denitrification, and anammox (N-PdN/A). In mild climates, anammox bacteria must be adapted to ≤15 °C, typically by gradual temperature decrease; however, this takes months or years. To...journal article 2022

Noll, B.L. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Need, Ariana (author), de Vries, Peter (author)Risk assessments are key for the effective management of potential environmental threats. Across probabilistic phenomena, climate change is an exemplar of paramount uncertainties. These uncertainties have been embraced in supporting governments’ decisions; yet receive scarce attention when studying individual behavior. Analyzing a survey...journal article 2022

Jafino, B.A. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Klijn, F. (author)To support equitable adaptation planning, quantitative assessments should consider the fairness of the distribution of outcomes to different people. What constitutes a fair distribution, however, is a normative question. In this study, we explore the use of different moral principles drawn from theories of distributive justice to evaluate...journal article 2022

Kulsum, U. (author)Long-term planning in urbanizing deltas has to deal with deep uncertainties in socio-economic development and climate change. Adaptive Delta Management (ADM) has been developed as an approach that acknowledges these and similar uncertainties. The Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 has, in principle, adopted the ADM approach, and it recognizes general...doctoral thesis 2021

Jafino, B.A. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)To support equitable planning, model-based analyses can be used to explore inequality patterns arising from different scenarios. Scenario discovery is increasingly used to extract insights from ensembles of simulation. Here, we apply two scenario discovery approaches for unraveling inequality patterns and their drivers, with an application to...journal article 2021

Eleftheroglou, N. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Data driven probabilistic methodologies have found increasing use the last decade and provide a platform for the remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of composite structures utilizing health-monitoring data. Of particular interest is the RUL prediction of composite structures that either underperform or outperform due to unexpected...journal article 2020

Moallemi, Enayat A. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), de Haan, Fjalar J. (author), Bryan, Brett A. (author)Modeling is a crucial approach for understanding the past and exploring the future of coupled human-natural systems. However, uncertainty in various forms challenges inferences from modeling results. Model-based support for decision-making has increasingly adopted an emerging exploratory approach. This approach addresses uncertainty...journal article 2020

Toimil, Alexandra (author), Losada, Iñigo J. (author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author), Dalrymple, Robert A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Climate change is and will continue altering the world's coasts, which are the most densely populated and economically active areas on earth and home for highly valuable ecosystems. While there is considerable relevant research, in the authors' experience this problem remains challenging for coastal engineering. This paper reviews important...review 2020

Copeland, S.M. (author), Comes, M. (author), Bach, Sylvia (author), Nagenborg, Michael (author), Schulte, Yannic (author), Doorn, N. (author)More than any other facet of resilience, social resilience raises the inherent tension within the concept between identity or persistence, and transformation. Is a community the people who make it up, or the geography or physical infrastructure they share? What about the resilience of communities that transform, as a result of a sudden...journal article 2020

Broekhuizen, A. (author), Arkesteijn, M.H. (author), de Jong, P. (author), Van Nieuwamerongen, Frido (author)Handbooks on strategic real estate management are generally based on four strategies for functional adjustment of the building: Conversion, expansion, renovation and adaptive reuse. And on a strategic level, this classification in adjustment strategies does work for real estate in general. But when looking at Dutch primary schools as a...journal article 2020

Raso, L. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Timmermans, Jos (author)Climate change raises serious concerns for policymakers that want to ensure the success of long-term policies. To guarantee satisfactory decisions in the face of deep uncertainties, adaptive policy pathways might be used. Adaptive policy pathways are designed to take actions according to how the future will actually unfold. In adaptive...journal article 2019
