Theodosiou, A. (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Lopez Dekker, F.J. (author)Estimating sea surface height using cross-track interferometry (XTI) requires high sensitivity because the ocean surface signal is in the order of 10 cm. In addition, the interferometer requires a temporal delay of a few milliseconds to ensure the coherency of the moving ocean surface. We show that a squinted line of sight (LoS), in...journal article 2023

de Roda Husman, S. (author), Hu, Zhongyang (author), Wouters, B. (author), Munneke, Peter Kuipers (author), Veldhuijsen, Sanne (author), Lhermitte, S.L.M. (author)Surface melt is an important driver of ice shelf disintegration and its consequent mass loss over the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Monitoring surface melt using satellite remote sensing can enhance our understanding of ice shelf stability. However, the sensors do not measure the actual physical process of surface melt, but rather observe the presence...journal article 2022

Fiddes, Sonya (author), Pepler, Acacia (author), Saunders, K.R. (author), Hope, Pandora (author)Climate scientists routinely rely on averaging over time or space to simplify complex information and to concisely communicate findings. Currently, no consistent definitions of 'warm' or 'cool' seasons for southern Australia exist, making comparisons across studies difficult. Similarly, numerous climate studies in Australia use either...journal article 2021

Zhang, Q. (author)China is facing the dual challenges of urbanization and motorization(Jing, 2008). The poorly organized urban centers and traditional residential planning are unable to meet the increasingly diverse demand of people. To solve these problems, the TOD model and the emerging community living circle are being favored by policy makers. Promoting urban...master thesis 2020

Broekema, Y.B. (author)The Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier is an icon of Dutch hydraulic engineering. Downstream of the barrier, large local erosion pits (scour holes) have formed adjacent to the applied bed protection after its construction. It was expected during the design phase that these would develop, but both the magnitude of the scour hole depth as well as...doctoral thesis 2020

Haji Aghajany, S. (author), Amerian, Yazdan (author), Verhagen, S. (author), Rohm, Witold (author), Ma, H. (author)The water vapor content in the atmosphere can be reconstructed using the all-weather condition troposphere tomography technique. In common troposphere tomography, the water vapor of each voxel is represented by an unknown parameter. This means that when the desired spatial resolution is high or study area is large, there will be a huge number of...journal article 2020

Integration of 3D city models in a country wide covering 3D basemap: A case study in The NetherlandsOlsen, Brenda (author)The needs and interests for 3D data based on large-scale topography are increasing. A wide variety of these 3D data needs have emerged in multiple domains and for many different applications. Though, research have shown that the interoperability of this 3D data nowadays still is a challenging task. Many barriers are caused by different...master thesis 2019

Kunkels, Lorenzo (author)Patients with orthopaedic implants often experience implant-associated infections (IAI), one of the most prominent causes for implant failure. IAIs are caused by pathogens adhering to the implant surface. One method to prevent IAIs is through the use of surface topography modifications. Cellular behaviour has been shown to be influenced by...master thesis 2019

Developing a microfluidic device incorporating submicron topographies for studying bone regenerationSharma, Abhishek (author)A major challenge facing the study of bone regeneration today is the inability to mimic the tissue microenvironment and the factors comprising it. Organ-on-chip based microfluidic systems today aim at doing so by dynamically culturing living cells in them. These are preferred owing to their small feature sizes, laminar flows, high throughput,...master thesis 2018
