van Goeverden, C.D. (author)In the context of mitigating climate change, a shift from air to rail is proposed for short-haul journeys. The impact of this policy on the GHG emissions of aviation is small and will be even marginal if only journeys < 500 km are involved. These journeys account for 2.2% of the mileage of air travel, and the impact on emissions will be even...conference paper 2023

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Densely populated areas are major sources of air, soil and water pollution. Agriculture, manufacturing, consumer households and road traffic all have their share. This is particularly true for the country featured in this paper: the Netherlands. Continuous pollution of the air and soil manifests itself as acification, decalcification and...conference paper 2023

Mooyaart, L.F. (author), Bakker, A.M.R. (author), van den Bogaard, J.A. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Coastal defenses must be upgraded to combat increasing flood risk due to climate change and other factors. Storm surge barriers, large movable hydraulic structures that close temporarily during storm surges to prevent coastal floods, play a vital role in protecting estuaries. Due to the complexity of their risk analyses, important improvements...conference paper 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

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

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

Suresh Iyer, A. (author)Moral support with AI has been gaining traction. The proponents of moral support with AI claim that some of the more problematic behavioural patterns of humans can be resolved with the help of AI, such as inability to extend moral concern to global level problems like climate change and refugee crisis. They offer a variety of ways of doing so-...conference paper 2022

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, F (author)Rail freight transport is a key economic activity; many businesses and people rely on it. It should be available when needed and efficient in use. There are however factors that may reduce the availability and quality of a rail freight service offering. A distinction can be made between what may be called systemic factors, like congestion,...conference paper 2022

Cervantes, L. (author), Kalisch, H. (author), Lagona, F. (author), Paulsen, M.O. (author), Roeber, V. (author)Various properties of wind-generated waves in coastal regions are significantly different from those in deep water regions. The differences are largely due to the influence of bathymetry, which is more pronounced in shallower water. In general, deep water waves are considered a Gaussian random process with only minor discrepancies between the...conference paper 2021

Pannozzo, N. (author), Leonardi, N. (author), Carnacina, I. (author), Smedley, R. (author)Salt marshes are ecosystems with significant economic and environmental value. They provide numerous services, including nutrient removal, habitat provision and carbon sequestration (Barbier et al., 2011). They are also widely recognised as nature-based solutions for coastal defence due to their ability to buffer storm waves (Leonardi et al.,...conference paper 2021

Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Chan, Faith (author), Meng, M. (author)The cities of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) have been experiencing an unprecedented urban expansion for the past four decades, leading to emergence of one of the most populous and dynamic urban regions. However, these rapidly expanding cities located in a low-lying delta area also face increasing flood risk due to a combination of anthropogenic...conference paper 2021

Carbon dioxide is the main trigger for climate change as it represents approximately up to 80% of the total greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change and concrete...conference paper 2021

Vinke, Frederik R.S. (author), van Dorsser, Cornelis (author), Vellinga, T. (author)Inland Water Transport (IWT) is one of the modalities for freight transport between the ports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp and the hinterland in Germany. Transport over water between these areas is possible as a result of the presence of the Rhine, but more important are the navigation conditions on the river. As a result of climate change,...conference paper 2019

Saline surface water will not be appropriate for drinking water production, agricultural and industrial use, and therefore, freshwater diverted from rivers is used for flushing the canals and ditches in coastal areas. The effects of climate...conference paper 2017
