Boonstra, Marchien (author)Personal weather station (PWS) networks have the potential to supply precipitation data at high spatial and temporal resolution for urban hydrological modeling. Past research has shown promising results on the quality of PWS data, for example from Netatmo gauges, but studies on other PWS brands are limited. This thesis assesses the quality of...master thesis 2024

Here, we investigate the use of 4D neutron imaging to image flow and transport in Bentheim sandstone core samples before and after in-situ calcium carbonate precipitation. First, we demonstrate...journal article 2024

Wang, Jianyun (author), Zhang, Rui (author), Hou, Fuxing (author), Ye, G. (author)Microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology has been successfully used to enhance the properties of recycled concrete aggregates. However, the complex source and varied physical and chemical properties of recycled aggregates may have influence on the modification efficiency since microbes are often sensitive to the...journal article 2024

Gründemann, Gaby J. (author)Improved understanding of historical precipitation extremes is important to better explain their behavior, predict future occurrences, and inform planning and engineering design. The intensity, seasonality, and timing of these extremes have far-reaching consequences, and require a comprehensive analysis of both historical trends and projected...doctoral thesis 2023

Zou, Yanghuan (author)Machine learning models offer promising potential in precipitation nowcasting. However, a common issue faced by many of these models is the tendency to produce blurry precipitation nowcasts, which are unrealistic. Previous research on the deep learning model - TrajGRU (Shi et al., 2017) indicated that data imbalance in radar images and the...master thesis 2023

Koole, Emma (author)This study investigates the dynamics of seasonal precipitation in Suriname with the help of moisture tracking and Sea Surface Temperature correlations. Prolonged drought periods, heavy precipitation events and accompanying flash floods and landslides are expected to increase in Suriname in the coming years. Reliable seasonal precipitation...master thesis 2023

Smit, Jacob (author)Suriname is highly vulnerable to hazards that are climate change related, such as droughts and floods. Knowledge about future precipitation in Suriname is needed for the population of Suriname in order to adapt to climate change effects. By analysing 32 CMIP6 models, this study investigates the impact of climate change on precipitation in...master thesis 2023

van der Kleij, Sylke (author)Atmospheric rivers transport 90% of all atmospheric moisture in the mid-to-high latitudes, while covering only 10% of the Earth’s surface at any given time. Atmospheric rivers occur infrequently, and atmospheric river frequency in the polar areas is especially low, but they can have a large impact on the cryosphere when they make landfall. They...master thesis 2023

Haji-Aghajany, Saeid (author), Amerian, Yazdan (author), Amiri Simkooei, A. (author)This study aims to investigate how changes in meteorological indicators affect groundwater resources, and hence to predict groundwater levels using these indicators, particularly in regions experiencing drought and subsidence. Precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration and precipitable water vapor (PWV) are important meteorological...journal article 2023
