Richie, C.S. (author)Rieke van der Graaf, Karin Jongsma, Martine de Vries, Suzanne van de Vathorst, and Ineke Bolt have done well to voice ethical concerns over the decision of the IAB to host the next WCB in Qatar. Conferences should be more sustainable. Yet, attention to the carbon impact of conferences—and, perhaps, any country that a person might travel to for...journal article 2023

Muis, Sanne (author), Aerts, Jeroen C.J.H. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Dullaart, Job C. (author), Erikson, Li (author), Haarsma, Rein J. (author), Apecechea, Maialen Irazoqui (author), Mengel, Matthias (author), Verlaan, M. (author)In the coming decades, coastal flooding will become more frequent due to sea-level rise and potential changes in storms. To produce global storm surge projections from 1950 to 2050, we force the Global Tide and Surge Model with a ∼25-km resolution climate model ensemble from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 High Resolution...journal article 2023

Lessoff, A.H. (author)This article provides an overview of the Texas Gulf Coast as a port city region dedicated above all to oil and gas. By the late 1800s, the same trends in transportation and industry that encouraged ship channel construction around the world drew attention to schemes to transform the Gulf Coast’s shallow bays and estuaries into inland deep-water...journal article 2023

van Oorschot, Janneke (author), Sprecher, Benjamin (author), Rijken, Bart (author), Witteveen, Pieter (author), Blok, Merlijn (author), Schouten, Nico (author), van der Voet, Ester (author)Buildings are an important part of society's environmental impacts, both in the construction and in the use phase. As the energy performance of buildings improve, construction materials become more important as a cause of environmental impact. Less attention has been given to those materials. We explore, as an alternative for conventional...journal article 2023

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Densely populated areas are major sources of air, soil and water pollution. Agriculture, manufacturing, consumer households and road traffic all have their share. This is particularly true for the country featured in this paper: the Netherlands. Continuous pollution of the air and soil manifests itself as acification, decalcification and...conference paper 2023

Li, Bin (author), Zheng, Yi (author), Di Baldassarre, Giuliano (author), Xu, Peng (author), Pande, S. (author), Sivapalan, Murugesu (author)Groundwater depletion has become increasingly challenging, and many cities worldwide have adopted drastic policies to relieve water stress due to socioeconomic growth. Located on the declining aquifer of the North China Plain, Beijing, for example, has developed plans to limit the size of the city’s population. However, the effect of...journal article 2023

Gründemann, Gaby J. (author), Zorzetto, E. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Global warming impacts the hydrological cycle, affecting the seasonality and timing of extreme precipitation. Understanding historical changes in extreme precipitation occurrence is crucial for assessing their impacts. This study uses relative entropy to analyze historical changes in seasonality and timing of extreme daily precipitation...journal article 2023

Zhang, Zi (author), Sato, Yugo (author), Dai, Ji (author), Chui, Ho kwong (author), Daigger, Glen (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Chen, Guanghao (author)Exploring alternative water sources and improving the efficiency of energy uses are crucial approaches to strengthening the water-energy securities and achieving carbon mitigations in sub(tropical) coastal cities. Seawater use for toilet flushing and district cooling systems is reportedly practical for achieving multiaspect benefits in Hong...journal article 2023

Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Blom, A. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)Human intervention makes river channels adjust their slope and bed surface grain size as they transition to a new equilibrium state in response to engineering measures. Climate change alters the river controls through hydrograph changes and sea level rise. We assess how channel response to climate change compares to channel response to human...journal article 2023

Douma, Douwe (author)Drastic oil palm plantation expansion has left Kalimantan low on lowland rainforest. Deforestation is accompanied by environmental consequences of establishing and operating a monoculture, as well as effects on biodiversity. Sacrificing spatial complexity comes at the costs of (microclimate) cooling potential, soil erosion, nutrient seepage,...master thesis 2022

Laman Trip, J.D.S. (author)Open questions are whether life can be enabled in uninhabitable environments, and whether there is a limit to howmuch one can tune the speed of proliferation. Answering such questions has broad implications. It may reveal whether we can live in unforeseen habitats, whether we can slow down aging, and whether there are limits to lifespan. In this...doctoral thesis 2022

Mulder, Milou (author), Stecher, Emilie (author), Tarozzo Kawasaki, Maria (author), te Velde, Roos (author), Wu, Jiaying (author)The Netherlands, and in particular South–Holland, is to a large extent below sea level, making the region vulnerable to environmental challenges linked to climate change. According to IPCC, a sea-level rise of two to five metres is not excluded, while the Delta committee advised the government recently to not invest in new infrastructure in the...student report 2022

van Arkel, Joost (author)Ecosystems are under pressure worldwide, due to both natural and anthropogenic stresses. Stresses on ecosystems can cause a decline in biodiversity, a loss of habitat and a deterioration in ecosystem services. To avoid further pressure on ecosystems caused by advancing economic development, new infrastructure projects should be integrated into...master thesis 2022

Moghim, Sanaz (author), Teuling, Adriaan J. (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author)Globally, the impacts of climate change can vary across different regions. This study uses a probability framework to evaluate recent historical (1976–2016) and near-future projected (until 2049) climate change across Europe using Climate Research Unit and ensemble climate model datasets (under RCPs 2.6 and 8.5). A historical assessment shows...journal article 2022
