(author), Cottone, Paolo (author), Veland, Siri (author), Martinez Reyes, A. (author)A crucial task to accelerate global decarbonisation is to understand how to enable fast, equitable, low-carbon transformations in Coal and Carbon Intensive Regions (CCIRs). In this early literature review we underlined the relevance of the boundary concept of social-ecological tipping points (SETPs) and showed that the research and policy...book chapter 2024

Ersoy, A. (author), Brand, A.D. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author)Increasing resilience to flooding is a complex process that requires horizontal and vertical coordination between institutions in policy making and implementation. This paper explores the effect of institutional coordination on managing flood risk in two cities plagued by flooding. Our results show that efforts on building urban flood resilience...journal article 2024

de Roo, Nina (author), Metze, T.A.P. (author), Leeuwis, Cees (author)In response to a growing understanding that scientific knowledge is not always trusted at face value, many universities organise dialogues to ‘open up’ to society. In four exploratory case studies at the Dutch Wageningen University & Research, we looked into the adherence to dialogue principles and the roles that researchers performed...journal article 2024

Tan, Xinxin (author), Xiao, Shenbin (author), Yang, Yu (author), Khakzad, Nima (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Chen, Chao (author)Frequent unpredictable earthquake disasters such as the Turkey Earthquake in 2023 pose an increasing threat to oil tank farms since they may trigger major accidents and domino effects, resulting in casualties, economic losses, and environmental pollution. Unpredictable earthquakes are definitely difficult to prevent and thus resilience...journal article 2024

Bugeat, B. (author), Boldini, P.C. (author), Hasan, A.M. (author), Pecnik, Rene (author)This paper addresses the stability of plane Couette flow in the presence of strong density and viscosity stratifications. It demonstrates the existence of a generalised inflection point that satisfies the generalised Fjørtoft criterion of instability when a minimum of kinematic viscosity is present in the base flow. The characteristic scales...journal article 2024

Maruhashi, J. (author), Mertens, M. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)Flight altitude is relevant to the climate effects resulting from aircraft emissions. Other research has shown that flying higher within the troposphere leads to larger warming from O <sub>3</sub> production. Aircraft NO <sub>x</sub> emissions are of particular interest, as they lead to warming via the short-term production of O <sub>3</sub>,...journal article 2024

Haverkort, J.W. (author), Sanderse, B. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Blake, J.W. (author)In flow-by capacitive deionization (CDI) brackish water flows between two electrodes that capacitively remove salt. We assume low inlet concentrations so “salt shocks” appear in the electrodes and the process becomes diffusion-limited. For unit charge efficiency, a simplified model is derived consisting of two coupled partial differential...journal article 2024

(author)Soft materials are usually defined as materials made of mesoscopic entities, often self-organised, sensitive to thermal fluctuations and to weak perturbations. Archetypal examples are colloids, polymers, amphiphiles, liquid crystals, foams. The importance of soft materials in everyday commodity products, as well as in technological applications,...journal article 2024

Ligthart, N.E.G. (author), Prats Vergel, G. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Vermaas, D.A. (author)CO2 conversion is an important part of the transition towards clean fuels and chemicals. However, low solubility of CO2 in water and its slow diffusion cause mass transfer limitations in aqueous electrochemical CO2 reduction. This significantly limits the partial current densities towards any desired CO2-reduction product. We propose using...journal article 2024
