Hooyberghs, H. (author), De Craemer, S. (author), Lefebvre, W. (author), Vranckx, S. (author), Maiheu, B. (author), Trimpeneers, E. (author), Vanpoucke, C. (author), Janssen, S. (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author), Fierens, F. (author)Detailed validation of air quality models is essential, but remains challenging, due to a lack of suitable high-resolution measurement datasets. This is particularly true for pollutants with short-scale spatial variations, such as nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>). While street-level air quality model chains can predict concentration...journal article 2022

Beselly, S.M. (author), Sajali, M. A. (author)Accurate and repetitive observation and quantification of the shoreline position and the coastal feature are essential aspects of coastal management and planning. Commonly, the dataset associated with coastal observation and quantification is obtained with in-situ coastal surveys. The current methods are mostly quite expensive, time-consuming...journal article 2021

Voordeckers, D. (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author), Billen, P. (author), Tytgat, T. (author), Van Acker, M. (author)Air pollution remains a major environmental and health concern in urban environments, especially in street canyons that show increased pollution levels due to a lack of natural ventilation. Previous studies have investigated the relationship between street canyon morphology and in-canyon pollution levels. However, these studies are typically...journal article 2021

Cheng, Hsin (author)The rise of citizen science has drawn policymakers' attention. With a shift towards participatory and transparent governance, linking policies to citizen science could contribute to create the evidence base and social acceptance for policy-making, and further counter-play populism and post-truth politics. This study aims to gain empirical...master thesis 2020

(author), bin Ab Razak, Mohd Shahrizal (author), van Meerveld, Ilja (author)Macroplastic pollution (> 0.5 cm) negatively impacts aquatic life and threatens human livelihood on land, in oceans and river systems. Reliable information on the origin, fate and pathways of plastic in river systems is required to optimize prevention, mitigation and reduction strategies. Yet, accurate and long-term data on plastic...journal article 2020

Couling, N.R. (author), Alfaro d'Alençon, Paola (author), Altiok, Medine (author)Water territories challenge inherited, land-based methods of capturing their history. They are a vital commons, where social, technical, political and cultural interests intertwine, potentially also causing conflict. Attention is currently focused both on the ecological importance of the water cycle for human well-being and ecosystem services,...journal article 2019

(author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Citizen science, as a complement to ground-based and remotely-sensed precipitation measurements, is a promising approach for improving precipitation observations. During the 2018 monsoon (May to September), SmartPhones4Water (S4W) Nepal—a young researcher-led water monitoring network—partnered with 154 citizen scientists to generate 6,656...journal article 2019

van Hamel, Amber (author)To study large-scale patterns in the environment, like for example the change of water quality, a constant amount of data over an array of locations and time is required. However, in Myanmar only little data is available about water related topics which makes it hard to monitor changes that are taking place. A relative new and cheap way of...bachelor thesis 2018

Onencan, A.M. (author), Meesters, Kenny (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)The Horizon 2020 interim evaluation (2017) indicates a steep increase in citizen engagement in European Union Citizen Science (CS) projects, with less than 1% in budgetary terms and minimal influence. Research findings attribute weak CS influence to the restriction of citizen actions to data collection, with minimal or no engagement in co...journal article 2018
