Farajzadeh, R. (author), Eftekhari, A. A. (author), Dafnomilis, I. (author), Lake, L. W. (author), Bruining, J. (author)This work uses pilot examples of CO<sub>2</sub> enhanced oil recovery to analyze whether and under which circumstances it is exergetically favorable to sequester CO<sub>2</sub> through enhanced oil recovery. We find that the net storage efficiency (ratio between the stored and captured CO<sub>2</sub>) of the carbon capture and storage (CCS)...journal article 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

Guzman, Paloma (author), Fatorić, Sandra (author), Ishizawa, Maya (author)Climate change is increasingly being recognized as a threat to natural and cultural World Heritage (WH) sites worldwide. Through its interaction with other stressors, climate change accelerates existing risks while also creating new obstacles. A more considerable focus is needed in both research and practice to explore proactive measures for...journal article 2020

(author)Flood risk is expected to increase in coastal cities, particularly in Asian megacities such as Shanghai. This paper presents an integrated modeling framework to simulate changes in the flood risk in Shanghai and provide a cost-benefit analysis of multiple adaptation strategies used to reduce risk. The results show that the potential flood...journal article 2020

Contreras, Diana (author), Voets, Alex (author), Junghardt, Jana (author), Bhamidipati, S.K. (author), Contreras, Sandra (author)During the 2012–2016 drought in La Guajira, Colombia, child mortality rates rose to 23.4 out of 1000. Most of these children belonged to the Wayuu indigenous community, the largest and one of the most vulnerable in Colombia. At the municipal level, this study found a significant positive correlation between the average child mortality rate...journal article 2020

(author), Blokker, E.J.M. (author)Water temperature is often monitored at water sources and treatment works; however, there is limited monitoring of the water temperature in the drinking water distribution system (DWDS), despite a known impact on physical, chemical and microbial reactions which impact water quality. A key parameter influencing drinking water temperature is...review 2020

Mianabadi, Ameneh (author), Derakhshan, Hashem (author), Davary, Kamran (author), Hasheminia, Seyed Majid (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author)Due to the effects of global climate change on duration, frequency and number of drought events, the occurrence of prolonged droughts, referred to as “megadroughts” (lasting for two decades or longer) will become more probable in the future. Thus, it is crucial for countries especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world to develop...journal article 2020

Zou, Tao (author), Kaminski, M.L. (author)Fatigue damage of offshore floating structures is a long-term cumulative process, which is mainly attributed to ocean waves. The natural variability and human-induced climate change may affect the wave climate and consequently result in the change of fatigue damage. This paper aims to investigate the effect of climate change on the fatigue...journal article 2020
