van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)4D seismic studies aim to observe time-lapse changes in the subsurface between a baseline and a monitor study. These changes are generally small, and the seismic response from a deep reservoir can be concealed by reflections from shallow structures. Here, we introduce a novel way of isolating the reservoir response by means of the Marchenko...book chapter 2021

Lukina, A. (author), Schilling, Christian (author), Henzinger, Thomas A. (author)Neural-network classifiers are trained to achieve high prediction accuracy. However, their performance still suffers from frequently appearing inputs of unknown classes. As a component of a cyber-physical system, the classifier in this case can no longer be reliable and is typically retrained. We propose an algorithmic framework for monitoring...conference paper 2021

Bertrand-Krajewski, Jean-Luc (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Lepot, M.J. (author)This introductory chapter indicates why well-defined, high-standard, and reliable monitoring is a key aspect in the necessary evolution of urban drainage and stormwater management and why it should become routine practice. It provides a framework, guidelines, and recommendations to define monitoring objectives and means. It also presents the...book chapter 2021

van der Drift, Maarten (author)One of the world’s biggest concerns is global warming, a solution to this can be wind energy. Offshore wind energy has advantages over onshore wind energy, however, the levelized cost of energy is higher. The maintenance costs are a major cost contributor. To lower these costs, research is performed on faults and its detection. Currently, little...master thesis 2020

Akgün, O.C. (author), Nanbakhsh, K. (author), Giagka, Vasiliki (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author)For mm-sized implants incorporating silicon integrated circuits, ensuring lifetime operation of the chip within the corrosive environment of the body still remains a critical challenge. For the chip's packaging, various polymeric and thin ceramic coatings have been reported, demonstrating high biocompatibility and barrier properties. Yet, for...journal article 2020

van der Lans, Michael (author)To fulfil the new safety standards of the Netherlands against flooding in the future, a great deal of work needs to be performed to prepare the flood defences system, at a quicker pace than is currently achieved. For this reason the HWBP is researching methods which can improve the efficiency of dike reinforcement projects. This thesis was...master thesis 2020

Broere, Sophie (author)Plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a global problem. Rivers transport large quantities of litter from land to the oceans. Plastics of different sizes and properties are widely present at various locations in river systems. Concerning macroplastics, previous studies mainly focussed on floating plastics, however, substantial parts of the...master thesis 2020

Zotz-Wilson, R.D. (author)We all monitor the world around us through waves. After about sixteen weeks in the womb, the ears and eyes of an infant child begin to deliver the first signals of light and sound waves to the brain. In fact, one could argue that consciousness itself is the feeling one receives when processing large amounts of wavefield data. Despite the...doctoral thesis 2020

Shirmohammadi, F. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Seismic interferometry (SI) is a principle for retrieving responses between two receivers using cross-correlation. After the retrieval, one of the receivers acts as a virtual seismic source whose response is retrieved at the second receiver. Correct response retrieval relies on assumptions, among other, of a lossless medium being illuminated...poster 2020

Shishkov, Boris (author), Hristozov, Stefan (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)We observe a world of increasing anxiety due to natural and man-made disasters, pandemics, andmilitary conflicts. Such disruptive events lead to decreased infrastructure and personnel availability; still, infrastructure and personnel are essential for keeping society running, and for addressing the effects of disruptions. We argue that drone...conference paper 2020

(author), Isabella, O. (author)Photovoltaic (PV) technology has the potential to be integrated on many surfaces in various environments, even on water. Modeling, design, and realization of a floating PV system have more challenges than conventional rooftop or freestanding PV system. In this work, we introduce two innovative concepts for floating bifacial PV systems,...journal article 2020

Verbeek, Joost (author)It is estimated that about 400.000 houses in the Netherlands – both shallow and wooden pile foundations – could be facing problems with their foundations. Although, house owners are becoming increasingly aware of the fact that problems (and thereby costs) can be prevented if remedial measures are taken in time. Monitoring of the foundation can...master thesis 2019

Wolf, Malte (author)Humanity is facing large scale environmental challenges emerging from the anthropogenic climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are widely considered to be the main driver of the changing climate. With the built environment currently being accountable for about 40% for our total GHG emissions there is a great urgency to act and change our...master thesis 2019
