Bamber, J. L. (author), Oppenheimer, M. (author), Kopp, R. E. (author), Aspinall, W. P. (author), Cooke, R.M. (author)The ice sheets covering Antarctica and Greenland present the greatest uncertainty in, and largest potential contribution to, future sea level rise. The uncertainty arises from a paucity of suitable observations covering the full range of ice sheet behaviors, incomplete understanding of the influences of diverse processes, and limitations in...journal article 2022

Røsok, O.P. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Veeneman, Wijnand (author)The interdependencies between infrastructures are growing. Engineering decision making that earlier was largely confined to a specific sector now requires more and more understanding of how systems interact: a system-of-systems perspective. The article analyzes the effect of that added complexity in a single case study in de Zuid-As, Amsterdam,...journal article 2023

Scholte, Mirre (author), Marchau, V.A.W.J. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Klijn, Catharina J.M. (author), Rovers, Maroeska M. (author), Grutters, Janneke P.C. (author)Objectives: In early stages, the consequences of innovations are often unknown or deeply uncertain, which complicates early health economic modeling (EHEM). The field of decision making under deep uncertainty uses exploratory modeling (EM) in situations when the system model, input probabilities/distributions, and consequences are unknown or...journal article 2022

Engelen, C.M. (author)Offshore wind energy is expected to grow in the coming years: future plans for offshore wind farms total more than 98 GW. Financing is needed to realise these plans. Investment decisions partly depend on the uncertainty in energy yield predictions. It is therefore important that these energy yield predictions and their corresponding uncertainty...master thesis 2015

Kuipéri, F.T. (author)The amount of electric vehicles is increasing due to measures taken by governments in order to make a, for sustainability, desired switch from the embedded system of combustion vehicles. A barrier for the market adaptation of electric vehicles is the availability of a charging infrastructure. In the Netherlands municipalities are responsible for...master thesis 2015

Vos, P. (author)Generalized polynomial chaos is known to fail for long-term integration, loosing its optimal convergence behavior and developing unacceptable error-levels. In this work, we present a time-dependent alternative of polynomial chaos in order to overcome these issues. This technique exists out of an on-the-fly reinitialization of the polynomial...master thesis 2006

Thijsen, Maurice (author)Uncertainty has an obstructing role in the decision-making of electrification investments for industrial actors. Future research by analysts is required to explore the potential of electrified industrial systems in their uncertain environments. In order to enable research to uncertainty in electrified industrial systems, the identification and...master thesis 2018

Verstegen, C.J.P. (author)The objective of this study is to make a study on dealing with uncertainty in the design of river training works. Based on this study, a method and several instruments have been developed that aim to improve a full and consistent use of a probabilistic design approach. This study is divided into three parts. The outline is rather unconventional...master thesis 1995
