van IJzendoorn, Christa (author), Hallin, E.C. (author), Cohn, Nicholas (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), de Vries, S. (author)In sandy beach systems, the aeolian sediment transport can be governed by the vertical structure of the sediment layers at the bed surface. Here, data collected with a newly developed sand scraper is presented to determine high-resolution vertical grain size variability and how it is affected by marine and aeolian processes. Sediment samples...journal article 2022

Lindhout, Paul (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Transparency about health and safety risks is a complex societal, moral, ethical and political concept. Full transparency does not come natural for any of the key stakeholder groups: organizations, authorities and the people. If safety information is not sufficiently shared between them, people and the environment can be harmed. The authors...journal article 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)An accident within a chemical plant may trigger escalation effects, leading to a catastrophic degradation of operating performance. Due to possible severe consequences of domino effects, safety and security measures are needed to prevent and mitigate domino effects in chemical industrial areas. However, safety and security measures may be...book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)Domino effects may be induced by both intentional and unintentional threats. To deal with possible intentional and unintentional domino effects, this chapter develops an integrated safety and security management framework. First, safety and security management principles are introduced to show the similarities and differences between safety...book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)In light of possible severe consequences of unintentional and intentional domino effects, an integrated domino effect management framework was introduced in Chap. 5 to prevent and mitigate domino effect risk. In this chapter, an economic approach based on safety economics is developed to obtain the optimal protection strategy. First, we...book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)In a coupled domino effect, hazardous scenarios such as toxic release, VCE, and fire can simultaneously or sequentially occur. Chapters 2 and 3 only consider domino effects that are caused by fire or VCE. Therefore, this study develops a dynamic method called “Dynamic Graph Monte Carlo” (DGMC) to model the evolution of coupled domino effects and...book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)Fires are the most common scenarios in domino effect accidents, responsible for most of the domino effects that occurred in the process and chemical industry. The escalation induced by fire is delayed since the build-up of heat radiation needs time. As a result, a fire-induced domino effect is a spatial–temporal evolution process of fires. To...book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)This book introduces three domino effect models that can be used for risk assessment of both intentional domino effects and unintentional domino effects. Based on these risk assessment models, three chapters on domino effect management are provided to prevent and mitigate domino effects triggered by unintentional events or intentional attacks.book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)Vapor cloud explosion (VCE) accidents such as the Jaipur explosion in 2005 manifest that VCEs may lead to unpredicted overpressures, resulting in catastrophic domino effects. Many attempts have been made to assess VCEs and the subsequent domino effects in the process and chemical industry, whereas little attention has been paid to the spatial...book chapter 2022

Lindhout, P (author), Teunissen, Truus (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)The positive reception of Wang and Burris’ photovoice method, published in 1997, has led to a proliferation of ways in which professionals deploy photovoice in a widening range of application fields, e.g., public health, social development and phenomenological research of human expe-riences. A scoping review method is used to obtain an overview...journal article 2021

Predicting major hazard accidents by monitoring their barrier systems: A validation in retrospectiveSchmitz, P.J.H. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Swuste, P.H.J.J. (author)OCI Nitrogen, one of Europe's largest fertilizer producers, is investigating the extent to which it is possible to take targeted measures at an early stage and stop the development of major hazard accident processes. An innovative model has been developed and recently explained and elaborated in a number of publications. This current paper...journal article 2021

(author)Coastal safety assessments with wave-resolving storm impact models require a proper offshore description for the incoming infragravity (IG) waves. This boundary condition is generally obtained by assuming a local equilibrium between the directionally-spread incident sea-swell wave forcing and the bound IG waves.

Li, Jie (author), Goerlandt, Floris (author), van Nunen, K.L.L. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Safety and security are often considered in complimentary or opposing terms. Discussions on their conceptual meaning have been put forward, and calls for an increased integration of these domains have been made. Nevertheless, there is currently no high-level empirical comparison of the development and contents of these research domains. In this...journal article 2021
