Santing, Matthias (author)The transport sector is the Netherlands’ second highest emitting sector, with 19% of the total energy demand. Where other sectors are becoming more sustainable, the transport sector is one of the most difficult to decarbonise despite the many studies in this field. This research aims to gather a list of potential measures and combine them to...master thesis 2024

Groeninx van Zoelen, Annekee (author)With the worldwide biodiversity decline and cities that should adapt to climate change, rewilding the built environment to restore biodiversity and increase the degree of natural areas is necessary. Yet, there is currently no established overview of potential rewilding strategies for urban environments. This study explores various opportunities...master thesis 2023

Warmerdam, Hylke (author)In urban areas, river courses have often been modified to a large extent to meet human needs. This modification has led to a decrease in ecological quality and biodiversity at both local and regional scales. Berlin is an example of a city with substantially modified rivers and decreased biodiversity. Rivers have been modified the most in dense...master thesis 2023

Lacigová, Tereza (author)In Assam, North-eastern India, the human population has been growing rapidly, which inevitably brings more urbanization and expansion of agricultural lands, leading to deforestation and the disappearance of natural habitats for wild animals. In connection with that, new highways and train tracks are being built, cutting through the already...master thesis 2023

Coppens, Amber (author), Frencken, Maartje (author), Satria Agung Permana, Satria (author), Sivakumar, Harini (author), Zeeman, Marin (author)Nature is declining rapidly. Recent research connected the natural decline with the intensive and monocultural way of dairy agriculture that is happening in North-Western Europe. As a result farmers are forced to stop and are left without a vision for their future. A change in the practice of dairy farming is necessary to reach the goals of the...student report 2023

van Duin, Ron (author), Wiegmans, Bart (author)This contribution proposes a future research agenda for the sustainable development of the freight corridors for the next five years. This is done by discussing three themes. i.e. (1) use of capacity, (2) lower impact modalities and (3) digitalization of the supply chain. As the corridors can be seen as the connecting lifelines of our ports and...book chapter 2023

M Fadel, M. (author), Meneses Rioseco, Ernesto (author), Bruna, P.B.R. (author), Moeck, Inga (author)The heterogeneity of the Upper Jurassic carbonate reservoir (Malm reservoir) beneath the North Alpine Foreland Basin has a significant influence on the mass and heat flow processes during geothermal exploitation. Geophysical borehole data revealed that sub-seismic scale fractures and karstified fractures occur at the inflow zones of deep...journal article 2023

Gkiotsalitis, K. (author), Cats, O. (author), Liu, T. (author), Bult, J. M. (author)The trips of a high-frequency urban rail line are typically planned with the aim of achieving even time headways. This results in reliable services for each urban rail line, where successive trips have the same time headway. Maintaining even time headways for each service line has significant advantages for the passengers of the line, but it...journal article 2023

Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), Schulte, F. (author), González-Ramírez, Rosa G. (author), Voß, Stefan (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Modern ports face significant challenges as strategic nodes of global supply chains, being responsible for the coordination of inbound and outbound flows at deep-sea and in hinterland transport corridors. Digitization and the adoption of disruptive technologies can help ports to tide over operational challenges. Automated Ground Vehicles ...journal article 2023

Wander, Hanneke (author)The agricultural landscape in the Netherlands has changed drastically over the course of the last 70 years. After World War II, it was governmental policy that pushed the transition to intensive farming by giving out subsidies. These developments have also had an impact on the province of Friesland, where agriculture has a long history and is...master thesis 2022

ter Pelkwijk, Annelies (author)Biodiversity is declining worldwide because of population growth and the rising demand for goods. Biodiversity is needed for our ecosystem services which provide us with fresh water and medicine which means people are dependent on a healthy biodiversity. Cities want to greenify to battle the urban heat island effect and the bad water...master thesis 2022

Fatih (author)The paper proposes a generative design workflow for three major hospital layout planning steps to satisfy multiplex configurational requirements. The initial step is stacking through clustering functional spaces into floor plans, for which a spectral method is presented. Subsequently, a novel simultaneous process of zoning and routing is...journal article 2022

Crijns, Freya (author)The world is urbanising rapidly, with the Global South as the part of the world with the most rapid urbanisation. The urban population of Ethiopia is predicted to nearly triple in 25 years. The swiftness of urbanisation is resulting in extreme challenges. It causes, reinforced by climate change, that Addis Ababa is increasingly affected by...master thesis 2021
