Spriggs, A.M.S. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author), Stancanelli, L.M. (author)Recent policy initiatives in Europe emphasize a movement towards nature-based solutions in flood management; however, a quantitative relationship between specific flood management measures and indicators of ecological health and biodiversity is difficult to establish (Penning et al., 2023). In the Netherlands, several studies have been conducted...abstract 2024

Khoshnazar, Ali (author), Corzo Perez, Gerald A. (author), Diaz, Vitali (author)Drought directly impacts the living organisms and environment, and thereby, its assessment is essential. Different drought indices require different data, which can be obtained based on models or in-situ measurements, demanding a significant amount of effort. Using remotely sensed (RS) data from satellites can facilitate this data acquisition....book chapter 2023

Burger, Rogier (author), Abraham, E. (author)In this short paper, we show how solutions for mitigating resource security in one sector can be found in another. We demonstrate—by means of a case study in Burkina Faso and Ghana—how investing in the electricity grid in the south leads to increase food security in the north. A new nexus framework was developed (‘MAXUS’) which was built to...book chapter 2019

Giyanani, A.H. (author), Bierbooms, W.A.A.M. (author), Van Bussel, G.J.W. (author)Remote sensing of the atmospheric variables with the use of LiDAR is a relatively new technology field for wind resource assessment in wind energy. The validation of LiDAR measurements and comparisons is of high importance for further applications of the data.conference paper 2015

(author), Van Thiel De Vries, J.S.M. (author)This paper describes the development of a physics-based rip current prediction system called CoSMoS. This system consists of a hydrodynamic prediction system which is composed of a train of surge and wave models from the global scale to the scale of a beach resort (order kilometers). For the beach resort scale model, it is of utmost importance...conference paper 2013

Van der Sande, C.J. (author), Zanoni, M. (author), Gorte, B.G.H. (author)Change detection with very high resolution imagery is difficult, because 3D objects as buildings appear differently in 2D imagery due to varying viewing angles and sun positions. This research proposes a method to improve change detection by using simple 3D models of buildings. Buildings have been modelled as flat roof or gable roof buildings....conference paper 2008

(author)The Sand Engine is a mega-nourishment constructed in 2011 with the purpose of replenishing the surrounding southern Dutch coast by exploiting the strength of local alongshore currents for the next 20 years. Long term monitoring of the Sand Engine depends upon remote sensing coupled with in-situ measurements due to both its large spatial and...conference paper 2013

(author)Existing aeolian transport formulae tend to overestimate the sediment transport volumes in coastal environments. Supply limiting factors like moisture content, shell patches, sediment sorting, vegetation and morphological features are believed to explain these overestimations. These supply limitations act on a variety of spatio-temporal scales...conference paper 2013
