Kroon, J. (author)Because of the large uncertainties associated with rising sea levels, present coastal management is inclined towards utilizing soft, nature-inclusive, and adaptive measures over traditional hard protection structures. This shift towards more sustainable and multi-functional solutions is often called Building with Nature. In the coastal zone,...doctoral thesis 2024

Kroon, Mirco (author)Simulating lighting is one of the most important parts of rendering 3D scenes. While lighting coming directly from a light source is easy to simulate in real-time, indirect illumination is more difficult. One of the methods used to convincingly approximate indirect illumination is ambient occlusion, where the brightness of objects is reduced...master thesis 2023

Adell, Anna (author), Almström, Björn (author), Kroon, Aart (author), Larson, Magnus (author), Uvo, Cintia Bertacchi (author), Hallin, E.C. (author)This study presents 62 years of hindcast wave climate data for the south coast of Sweden from 1959–2021. The 100-km-long coast consists mainly of sandy beaches and eroding bluffs interrupted by headlands and harbours alongshore, making it sensitive to variations in incoming wave direction. A SWAN wave model of the Baltic Sea, extending from...journal article 2023

Kroon, Rik (author)This report covers all major steps to establish an aviation emission inventory for 2019. This emission inventory is set up based on four consecutive steps. The first step is to gather all required data in the information model and this also includes some pre-processing of data to make it as complete as possible. The second step is to estimate...master thesis 2022

Van Wessel, Robert M. (author), Kroon, Philip (author), de Vries, H.J. (author)Many organizations have embraced agile methods. Studies show a trend of large-scale application of agile frameworks company-wide. Emergent architecture design as part of an agile approach is effective at the project level but causes issues when services need to interact seamlessly at the enterprise level. Enterprise architecture (EA) can provide...journal article 2022

Kroon, J. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Sandy nourishments can provide additional sediment to the coastal system to maintain its recreational or safety function under rising sea levels. These nourishments can be implemented at sandy beach systems, but can also be used to reinforce gray coastal infrastructure (e.g., dams, dikes, seawalls). The Hondsbossche Dunes project is a combined...journal article 2022

(author), Padding, J.T. (author)Liquid-solid fluidisation is frequently encountered in drinking water treatment processes, for instance in seeded crystallisation softening processes. For modest superficial fluid velocities, liquid–solid fluidisation systems are generally considered to be homogeneous, as reported in literature. However, during fluidisation experiments with...journal article 2021

(author), Martinez, Grit (author), Jensen, Jürgen (author), Baron, Nina (author), Heimann, Thorsten (author), Kroon, Aart (author), Arns, Arne (author), Almström, Björn (author)From November 12th to 13th in 1872, an extreme coastal flood event occurred in the south Baltic Sea. An unusual combination of winds created a storm surge reaching up to 3.5 m above mean sea level, which is more than a meter higher than all other observations over the past 200 years. On the Danish, German, and Swedish coasts, about 300 people...journal article 2021

Kroon, J. (author), de Schipper, M.A. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Sand nourishments are increasingly applied as adaptive coastal protection measures. Predictions of the evolution of these nourishments and their impact on the surrounding coastline contain many uncertainties. The sources that add to this uncertainty can be delineated between intrinsic and epistemic uncertainty, i.e. inevitably in the system or...journal article 2020

Kroon, David (author)Liquid storage tanks are used worldwide to contain liquids such as drinking water, fuel and chemicals. Loss of containment during a seismic event can add to an earthquake’s destructiveness by posing a fire hazard, spilling toxic substances or reducing the supply of drinking water. It is therefore important that they remain operational at a pre...master thesis 2019
