Cultural Landscapes under the Threat of Climate Change: A Systematic Study of Barriers to ResilienceAktürk, Gül (author), Dastgerdi, Ahmadreza Shirvani (author)Cultural landscapes reflect a cultural group’s continuous and evolved interactions with natural resources and the environment. By now, climate change has become the most significant threat to cultural landscapes, e.g., food security, water scarcity, and displacement. The cultural and natural heritage of cultural landscapes can enhance their...journal article 2021

Ertsen, M.W. (author), Morgan, Ruth A. (author)This text builds on the shared focus of historians and engineers to understand how particular circumstances came to be. In their endeavours, engineers regularly turn attention to the past, many times with the explicit aim to build on the past. In this chapter, it is discussed why these water histories written by engineers are vulnerable to being...book chapter 2021

Ismail, Cynthia (author), Wiropranoto, Fabian (author), Takama, Takeshi (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Virla, Luis D. (author)Technological innovation is considered to be one of the key strategies to maintain the global temperature below 2 °C. Since emerging and low-income countries are now responsible for reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) under the Paris agreement, there is an implied need to balance their development mandate and climate change policies. This...book chapter 2021

Sellevold, R. (author)One of the major consequences of ongoing global warming is the melting of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS). The GrIS, as the world’s second largest freshwater reservoir, has the potential to raise sea levels by 7.4 m (Bamber et al., 2018a,b). Such a sea level rise would have a devastating effect on coastal societies, where a large fraction of...doctoral thesis 2021

Bouaziz, L.J.E. (author)Contemplating the Meuse or any other river of the world, one may wonder about the journey of rain in becoming river. This fascinates hydrologists, as they develop theories to understand movement, storage and release of water through the landscape across climates. These theories are translated to hydrological models, which describe the complex...doctoral thesis 2021

Ngo, Q.H. (author)Flooding is one of the most frequently occurring and damaging natural disasters worldwide. Quantitative flood risk management (FRM) in the modern context demands statistically robust approaches (e.g. probabilistic) due to the need to deal with complex uncertainties. However, probabilistic estimates often involve ensemble 2D hydraulic model runs...doctoral thesis 2021

Hermans, T.H.J. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author), Machado Lima de Camargo, C. (author), Garner, Gregory G. (author), Kopp, Robert E. (author), Slangen, Aimée B.A. (author)Projections of relative sea level change (RSLC) are commonly reported at an annual mean basis. The seasonality of RSLC is often not considered, even though it may modulate the impacts of annual mean RSLC. Here, we study seasonal differences in twenty-first-century ocean dynamic sea level change (DSLC; 2081–2100 minus 1995–2014) on the...journal article 2022

Darwili, A.G. (author), Schröder, E. (author)We propose a new method for standardizing the production technology at the world average level and derive interpretations for the resulting carbon emission concepts. The technology-adjusted emission balance measures net weak carbon leakage defined as the difference between the foreign emissions avoided by exports and the foreign emissions...journal article 2022

Goncalves, J. E. (author), Verma, T. (author), Arab, R. (author)In urban areas, climate change effects are often associated with increasing risks of flood, heat waves, and sagging. Increasing climate risks exacerbate existing urban inequalities, poverty levels, and environmental degradation. Global urban policy is reacting to these urban issues by calling for making cities more inclusive, safe, resilient,...conference paper 2022

Zhang, Chao (author), Tan, Yiqiu (author), Gao, Y. (author), Fu, Yongkang (author), Li, Jilu (author), Li, Shuai (author), Zhou, Xingye (author)The service performances of asphalt pavement, especially rutting, will be inevitably affected by climate change. However, existing studies have generally focused on the rutting depth and rutting life, and thus became insufficient for comprehensively evaluating the influence of climate change on rutting over the service life. A resilience...journal article 2022

Crosato, A. (author), Grissetti-Vázquez, A. (author), Bregoli, F. (author), Franca, M.J. (author)Climate change has a direct influence on both hydrology and floodplain vegetation of water courses, which are key players in river morphodynamics. The river system response to climate change is complex and the effects of non-linear interactions between alterations in water, sediment and vegetation remain incompletely understood. Which of...journal article 2022

(author)Production of mature oil fields emits significant amount of CO<sub>2</sub> related to circulation and handling of large volumes of gas and water. This can be reduced either by (1) using a low-carbon energy source and/or (2) reducing the volumes of the non-hydrocarbon produced/injected fluids. This paper describes how improved oil recovery...journal article 2022
