(author), Basu, Bidroha (author), Basu, Arunima Sarkar (author), Menenti, M. (author)To bring to fruition the capability of nature-based solutions (NBS) in mitigating hydro-meteorological risks (HMRs) and facilitate their widespread uptake require a consolidated knowledge-base related to their monitoring methods, efficiency, functioning and the ecosystem services they provide. We attempt to fill this knowledge gap by...review 2021

Gawehn, M.A. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Mapping coastal bathymetry from remote sensing becomes increasingly more attractive for the coastal community. It is facilitated by a rising availability of drone and satellite data, advances in data science, and an open-source mindset. Coastal bathymetry, but also wave directions, celerity and near-surface currents can simultaneously be derived...journal article 2021

Liu, X. (author), Fu, Dafang (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Busker, Tim (author), Yu, Meixiu (author)As a result of high-density urbanization and climate change, both the frequency and intensity of extreme urban rainfall are increasing. Drainage systems are not designed to cope with this increase, and as a result, floods are becoming more common in cities, particularly in the rapidly growing cities of China. To better cope with more frequent...journal article 2021

Beselly, S.M. (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Grueters, Uwe (author), Reyns, J.A.H. (author), Dijkstra, Jasper (author), Roelvink, D. (author)This article presents a novel approach to explore mangrove dynamics on a prograding delta by integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite imagery. The Porong Delta in Indonesia has a unique geographical setting with rapid delta development and expansion of the mangrove belt. This is due to an unprecedented mud load from the LUSI...journal article 2021

(author), Yang, Wei (author), Pellicciotti, Francesca (author)Glacier albedo determines the net shortwave radiation absorbed at the glacier surface and plays a crucial role in glacier energy and mass balance. Remote sensing techniques are efficient means to retrieve glacier surface albedo over large and inaccessible areas and to study its variability. However, corrections of anisotropic reflectance of...journal article 2021

van Natijne, A.L. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)Nowcasting and early warning systems for landslide hazards have been implemented mostly at the slope or catchment scale. These systems are often difficult to implement at regional scale or in remote areas. Machine Learning and satellite remote sensing products offer new opportunities for both local and regional monitoring of deep-seated...journal article 2020

Simons, G.W.H. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author), Cheema, M.J.M. (author), Ahmad, B. (author), Immerzeel, W.W. (author)Increasing irrigation efficiencies remains the focus of numerous efforts to mitigate water scarcity. In reality, higher local efficiencies do often not reduce water scarcity, but instead cause a redistribution of water flows when the entire irrigation scheme or river basin is considered. Insufficient understanding of consumed fractions and non...journal article 2020

(author), Friedman, Joshua (author)Coastal management in the Netherlands has the aim to defend coastal zones by preventing flooding and mitigating erosion. To that end, large-scale nourishments are placed in the nearshore, which are supposed to dynamically preserve the coastal zone over a timescale of years. To assess their effectiveness, these nourishments are monitored over...journal article 2020

Mashhoodi, B. (author), Stead, D. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)It is widely accepted that land surface temperature (LST) affects household energy consumption (HEC). There is, however, no previous study available that clarifies whether LST's impact is similar in each and every area, or if it varies from one location to another. Analysing the impact of LST on HEC of 2612 residential zones of the...journal article 2020

Ball, W.T. (author), Chiodo, Gabriel (author), Abalos, Marta (author), Alsing, Justin (author), Stenke, Andrea (author)The stratospheric ozone layer shields surface life from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Following the Montreal Protocol ban on long-lived ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), rapid depletion of total column ozone (TCO) ceased in the late 1990s, and ozone above 32 km is now clearly recovering. However, there is still no confirmation of TCO recovery,...journal article 2020

Lu, Y. (author), Dong, Jianzhi (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author)The spatial heterogeneity and temporal variation of soil moisture and surface heat fluxes are key to many geophysical and environmental studies. It has been demonstrated that they can be mapped by assimilating soil thermal and wetness information into surface energy balance models. The aim of this work is to determine whether enhancing the...journal article 2019

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
