Hammond Antwi, Sarpong (author), Linnane, Suzanne (author), Rolston, Alec (author), Getty, David (author), Slinger, J (author)This paper provides a historical perspective on the evolution of water governance in the Republic of Ireland where long-term shifts in agricultural activities, demographic characteristics, water and debates over drinking water supply charges have influenced water resources governance and the integration of management practices. Drawing on...journal article 2023

Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Blom, A. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)Human intervention makes river channels adjust their slope and bed surface grain size as they transition to a new equilibrium state in response to engineering measures. Climate change alters the river controls through hydrograph changes and sea level rise. We assess how channel response to climate change compares to channel response to human...journal article 2023

Sand, M. (author), Hofbauer, B. (author), Alleblas, J. (author)After years of missing the agreed upon goals for carbon reduction, we might conclude that global climate policies set infeasible standards to halt climate change. The widespread non-compliance of many signees with frameworks such as the Paris Agreement indicates that these frameworks were too optimistic regarding the signees’ motivation to act....journal article 2023

Kranenburg, W.M. (author), van Keulen, Daan (author), Gerritsma, A. (author), Huismans, Y. (author)We investigate the changes in surface water salinity intrusion lengths for estuaries around the world under influence of climate change. To do this, we make use of information from global data sets on present river geometry and present and predicted future river discharges, mean sea levels and tidal ranges, which we combine with various models...conference paper 2023

Nußholz, Julia (author), Çetin, Sultan (author), Eberhardt, Leonora (author), De Wolf, Catherine (author), Bocken, Nancy (author)The application of the circular economy (CE) in the building industry is critical for achieving the carbon reduction goals defined in the Paris Agreement and is increasingly promoted through European policies. In recent years, CE strategies have been applied and tested in numerous building projects in practice. However, insights into their...journal article 2023

Ricci, Diletta (author), Morganti, Michele (author)Urban vulnerability has many facets. Among these, urban texture and plot pattern, building massing and density, greatly affect the microclimate. Thence, redefining urban regeneration design criteria for climate neutrality is crucial, including environmental factors in the design process at different scales. In the light of climate change,...conference paper 2023

Damastuti, Ekaningrum (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author), Leemans, Rik (author), de Groot, Rudolf S. (author), Silvius, Marcel J. (author)Management and restoration of mangrove forests to protect coasts are promoted in many countries, including Indonesia. Indonesian mangrove forests are actively restored and managed by local communities for their ecosystem services, including coastal protection. Whether community-based mangrove management (CBMM) is effective is still debated....journal article 2023

Laman Trip, J.D.S. (author)Open questions are whether life can be enabled in uninhabitable environments, and whether there is a limit to howmuch one can tune the speed of proliferation. Answering such questions has broad implications. It may reveal whether we can live in unforeseen habitats, whether we can slow down aging, and whether there are limits to lifespan. In this...doctoral thesis 2022

Zarifsanayei, Amin Reza (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Etemad-Shahidi, Amir (author), Cartwright, Nick (author), Strauss, Darrell (author), Lemos, Gil (author)This study quantifies the uncertainties in the projected changes in potential longshore sediment transport (LST) rates along a non-straight coastline. Four main sources of uncertainty, including the choice of emission scenarios, Global Circulation Model-driven offshore wave datasets (GCM-Ws), LST models, and their non-linear interactions were...journal article 2022

Hermans, T.H.J. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author), Machado Lima de Camargo, C. (author), Garner, Gregory G. (author), Kopp, Robert E. (author), Slangen, Aimée B.A. (author)Projections of relative sea level change (RSLC) are commonly reported at an annual mean basis. The seasonality of RSLC is often not considered, even though it may modulate the impacts of annual mean RSLC. Here, we study seasonal differences in twenty-first-century ocean dynamic sea level change (DSLC; 2081–2100 minus 1995–2014) on the...journal article 2022

(author)The river Rhine is one of Europe’s busiest waterways and is part of the Rhine-Alpine corridor. In 2018 the river experienced a severe low discharge extreme. This impacted the river’s transport capacity for a period of several months, causing shortages of source materials and fuels in regions far in-land. Historically, prolonged droughts of this...journal article 2022

Dartevelle, Olivier (author), Altomonte, Sergio (author), Masy, Gabrielle (author), Mlecnik, E. (author), van Moeseke, Geoffrey (author)While the potential impact of climate change mitigation measures is well documented in building sciences literature, there are only relatively sparse studies focusing on the efficiency of adaptation strategies. This paper aims to contribute to this topic by evaluating the extent to which the design of a typical nearly Zero Energy Buildling (nZEB...journal article 2022

Beyond the urgency of rethinking XX-century urbanization characterized by endless structural expansion strategy, we need to engage urban systems by means of emerging concepts of adaptability and systemic transitions due to climate change effects. Emission reduction and spatial compactness, reuse and recycle, flexibility and complex balances have...book 2022

(author), van der Heuvel, Jasper (author), Diaz, Andres (author)Mean sea level rise (SLR) could increase up to 2m by 2100, which would see damage caused by coastal flooding in Europe increase from €1.25bn per annum currently to €961bn in just over 80 years. Urban areas situated along the North Sea coastline are particularly vulnerable to extreme sea level rise (a combination of SLR, tide and storm surges)....journal article 2022

Goncalves, J. E. (author), Verma, T. (author), Arab, R. (author)In urban areas, climate change effects are often associated with increasing risks of flood, heat waves, and sagging. Increasing climate risks exacerbate existing urban inequalities, poverty levels, and environmental degradation. Global urban policy is reacting to these urban issues by calling for making cities more inclusive, safe, resilient,...conference paper 2022
