Cuevas Salgado, Sebastian (author)Coastal dunes serve as the primary defence mechanism against coastal storms for many coastal communities around the world. Vegetation plays a role in increasing dune resiliency as it enables dune growth, however not enough is known about its effects during storms. Research has shown that the current climate crisis will increase the intensity of...master thesis 2023

Dommerholt, Naomi (author)This study investigates the connection between macro-scale parameters (MSP) and micro-scale water quality parameters (MSWQP) in the Brantas River, employing a multivariate linear regression (MLR) modelling approach. The analysis reveals several critical insights into the complex dynamics of water quality in this river system.<br/><br/>Key...master thesis 2023

O'Hanrahan, Mike (author)Predicting streamflow in a changing climate poses significant challenges for traditional hydrological models. Static parameter sets result from model calibrations over historical data that increasingly encounter the non-stationary impacts on the hydrological system. Endeavouring toward non-stationary model parameters by incorporating time...master thesis 2023

Song, Jinlai (author), Cannatella, D. (author), Katsikis, N. (author)Wildfires are widely viewed as key evolving inputs of Mediterranean ecosystem. But anthropogenic climate changes and other socioecological recessions have transformed normal wildfire into megafire. The paradigm shift is needed since the suppression capacity has been increasingly overcome from the fire department. This research is aiming to...conference paper 2023

Hao, Xuan (author), Qiu, Yubao (author), Jia, Guoqiang (author), Menenti, M. (author), Ma, Jiangming (author), Jiang, Zhengxin (author)Land use–land cover (LULC) is an important feature for ecological environment research, land resource management and evaluation. Although global high-resolution LULC data sets are booming, their regional performances were still evaluated in limited regions. To demonstrate the local applicability of global LULC data products, six emerging LULC...journal article 2023

Jansen, Femke A. (author), Jongen, Harro J. (author), Jacobs, Cor M.J. (author), Bosveld, Fred C. (author), Buzacott, Alexander J.V. (author), Heusinkveld, Bert G. (author), Kruijt, Bart (author), van der Molen, Michiel (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author)Land cover controls the land-atmosphere exchange of water and energy through the partitioning of solar energy into latent and sensible heat. Observations over all land cover types at the regional scale are required to study these turbulent flux dynamics over a landscape. Here, we aim to study how the control of daily and midday latent and...journal article 2023

Hadler, Noah (author)From three coherent SAR images it is possible to estimate three interferograms. Combined in a circular way, the sum of the three interferometric phases is called the closure phase which necessarily adds up to zero on a single pixel level. However, if the interferograms are spatially averaged, phase consistency is not guaranteed. In most of the...master thesis 2022

Verhoeven, Vincent B. (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)Land cover plays an important role in the Earth's climate as it affects multiple biochemical cycles and is critical for food security and biodiversity. As land cover is continuously evolving, influenced by anthropogenic and other factors, the availability of temporally varying land cover data sets of large spatial domains is integral to...journal article 2022

Phan, M.H. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Mangroves play an important role in sustaining a healthy coastal environment, providing a natural habitat to various species, a stable shoreline and forestry products. However, the extent of mangroves developed along the tidal coast of the Mekong delta in southern Vietnam has faced and still faces the impact from both natural and...journal article 2022

Beselly, S.M. (author), Lufira, R. D. (author), Andawayanti, U. (author)Quantitative assessment for sustainable watershed management is essential. Hydrological parameters such as stream discharge, surface runoff, infiltration, groundwater recharge, and water quality are susceptible to the changes of the components in the river basin ecosystem. Numerous studies have shown that the Land Use Land Cover (LULC)...journal article 2021

Nikaein, T. (author), Iannini, L. (author), Molijn, R.A. (author), Lopez Dekker, F.J. (author)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) acquisitions are mainly deemed suitable for mapping dynamic land-cover and land-use scenarios due to their timeliness and reliability. This particularly applies to Sentinel-1 imagery. Nevertheless, the accurate mapping of regions characterized by a mixture of crops and grasses can still represent a challenge....journal article 2021

Maheng, M.D. (author), Pathirana, Assela (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)Urbanization is changing land use–land cover (LULC) transforming green spaces (GS) and bodies of water into built-up areas. LULC change is affecting ecosystem services (ES) in urban areas, such as by decreasing of the water retention capacity, the urban temperature regulation capacity and the carbon sequestration. The relation between LULC...journal article 2021

Peng, D.L. (author), Wolff, Alexander (author), Haunert, Jan Henrik (author)To provide users with maps of different scales and to allow them to zoom in and out without losing context, automatic methods for map generalization are needed. We approach this problem for land-cover maps. Given two land-cover maps at two different scales, we want to find a sequence of small incremental changes that gradually transforms one...journal article 2021

Bangira, T. (author), Iannini, L. (author), Menenti, M. (author), van Niekerk, Adriaan (author), Vekerdy, Zoltán (author)Deployment of Sentinel-1 (S1) satellite constellation carrying a $C$-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) enables regular and timely monitoring of floods from their onset until returning to nonflooded (NF) conditions. The major constraint on using SAR for near-real-time (NRT) flood mapping has been the inability to rapidly process the obtained...journal article 2021

Molijn, R.A. (author)In this study, research on productivity and land cover monitoring is presented, with a focus on sugarcane, based on space-based remote sensing observations that were collected by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical sensors. The study aims to provide new insights into techniques and methodologies that allow for cost-efficient monitoring of...doctoral thesis 2020

Juan, Andrew (author), Gori, Avantika (author), Sebastian, Antonia (author)In this study, we compare the ability of two riverine flood control approaches: channelization and stream preservation/setbacks, to alleviate the adverse impacts of rapid urbanization. To study the effects of structural intervention and urban development on the evolution of the floodplain, we have chosen two neighboring urban watersheds in...journal article 2020

Delgado Blasco, José Manuel (author), Cian, Fabio (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author), Verstraeten, Gert (author)Population growth in rural areas of Egypt is rapidly transforming the landscape. New cities are appearing in desert areas while existing cities and villages within the Nile floodplain are growing and pushing agricultural areas into the desert. To enable control and planning of the urban transformation, these rapid changes need to be mapped...journal article 2020

Schmaltz, Elmar M. (author), Van Beek, L. P.H. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author), Kraushaar, Sabine (author), Steger, Stefan (author), Glade, Thomas (author)Despite the importance of land cover on landscape hydrology and slope stability, the representation of land cover dynamics in physically based models and their associated ecohydrological effects on slope stability is rather scarce. In this study, we assess the impact of different levels of complexity in land cover parameterisation on the...journal article 2019

Birhanu, A. (author), Masih, I. (author), van der Zaag, P. (author), Nyssen, J. (author), Cai, X. (author)Land use and land cover (LULC) changes are continuous phenomena, often driven by natural and anthropogenic factors. In Ethiopia, a conversion of forest and grass lands into cultivated and urbanized lands has been reported. While such changes are known to have multidirectional impacts on river flows, erosion and sedimentation, and the socio...journal article 2019

Kiptala, J.K. (author)For integrated water resources management both blue and green water resources in a river basin and their spatial and temporal distribution have to be considered. This is because green and blue water uses are interdependent. In sub-Saharan Africa, the upper landscapes are often dominated by rainfed and supplementary irrigated agriculture that...doctoral thesis 2016
