van Waas, Tom (author)Non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) is a process where a crystalline phase is formed out of solution by exposure to a laser beam. In NPLIN, the nucleation probability is strongly dependent on the beam intensity and weakly dependent on the wavelength. NPLIN offers a feasible alternative to energy-intensive industrial...bachelor thesis 2019

Verschuren, Lisa (author)Flooding is globally one of the most damaging natural hazard. Flood risk will most likely increase in the near future due to increases in flood frequency attributed to climate change and growth in population and wealth in flood prone areas. This growth in wealth and population is increasingly considered as a major driver for the increase in...master thesis 2019

Wang, Frank (author)Marine pipelines are widely used for transporting hydrocarbon material. However, they can be damaged by marine geo-hazards such as seabed liquefaction, as they may sink, float or be dragged by the moving soil. One of the triggering mechanism of seabed liquefaction is the increase of seabed inclination as a result of the souring process or human...student report 2019
