Geleijnse, Yuran (author)Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) stands as a widely adopted technique for monitoring displacements on the Earth's surface, providing millimeter-level precision. Several InSAR studies show the efficacy in retrospectively identifying hazardous situations, such as the failure of a structure. The next imperative step is to detect and...master thesis 2024

Jaarsma, Ruurd (author)Echosounders are used to monitor suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in coastal management studies and to monitor dredge plumes. Due to the dependency on sediment properties like particle size, shape and density, performance of single frequency measurements is limited when sediment properties are changing.<br/><br/>Using multi-frequency...master thesis 2023

Korenhof, Sophie A. (author), Fang, Yuan (author), Luo, Jie (author), van der Cammen, T.J.M. (author), Raat, Hein (author), van Grieken, Amy (author)Background: Due to the aging population, there is a need for monitoring well-being and safety while living independently. A low-intrusive monitoring system is based on a person’s use of energy or water. Objective: The study's objective was to provide a systematic overview of studies that monitor the health and well-being of older people using...review 2023

van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), Brackenhoff, Joeri (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The data-driven Marchenko method is able to redatum wavefields to arbitrary locations in the subsurface, and can, therefore, be used to isolate zones of specific interest. This creates a new reflection response of the target zone without interference from over- or underburden reflectors. Consequently, the method is well suited to obtain a...journal article 2023

Helmons, R.L.J. (author)There is an expected increase in demand of critical raw materials, e.g. nickel and cobalt, mainly driven by the shift towards renewable energy solutions and the increase in production of electric vehicles. That trend has raised the interests for the mining of polymetallic nodules. The most extensive nodule depostions are found on the abyssal...conference paper 2022

Gebert, J. (author), Huber-Humer, Marion (author), Cabral, Alexandre R. (author)Landfill methane currently represents the largest global source of greenhouse gas emissions from the solid waste sector. Emissions are expected to increase due to increasing waste generation, particularly in countries still landfilling biodegradable wastes. As a complementary measure to gas extraction with subsequent flaring or energy conversion...review 2022

Alcañiz Moya, A. (author), Nikam, Maitheli M. (author), Snow, Yitzi (author), Isabella, O. (author), Ziar, H. (author)Monitoring residential scale photovoltaic (PV) systems is important for maximizing the energy yield and detecting malfunctions. Analytical-based approaches are not reliable in these systems because of the lack of on-site measurements and detailed PV system specifications. In this paper, a collaborative approach is proposed which does not...journal article 2022

Macchiarulo, V. (author), Milillo, Pietro (author), Blenkinsopp, Chris E. (author), Reale, Cormac (author), Giardina, Giorgia (author)Worldwide, transport infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to aging-induced deterioration and climate-related hazards. Often, inspection and maintenance costs far exceed the available resources, and numerous assets lack any rigorous structural evaluation. Space-borne synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) is a powerful remote...journal article 2022

Boersma, Jaap-Willem (author)The main motivation for this research originated from two ambitions, which involve many challenges for which circular solutions have to be developed. First, the ambition of the Dutch government to achieve a circular economy, which also includes a circular construction industry, in the Netherlands by 2050 at the latest. Secondly, in line with the...master thesis 2021

Shorachi, Maurice (author)The stress on global food security is expected to increase. Hence, crop and drought monitoring will become increasingly important in the future. Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) are able to penetrate clouds and thus reliably provide data. Despite the extensive literature that can be found on the use of high spatio-temporal resolution SAR data, a...master thesis 2021
