Yin, Ying (author)Transpiration is a crucial flux in greenhouses that directly affects plant growth. However, there are currently no direct measurements available. Sap flow is the most widely used method for quantifying transpiration, and calibration can enhance the accuracy of these estimates. Despite the existence of numerous recommendations for applying sap...master thesis 2024

(author), Jahanbakhshi, Ali (author)The Middle East frontal sand and dust storms (SDS) occur in non-summer seasons, and represent an important phenomenon of this region’s climate. Among the mentioned type, spring SDS are the most common. Trend analysis was used in the current study to investigate the spatial-temporal variability of springtime dust events in the Middle East...journal article 2024

Sadrtdinova, Renata (author), Perez, Gerald Augusto Corzo (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Kazakhstan is recently experiencing an increase in drought trends. However, low-capacity probabilistic drought forecasts and poor dissemination have led to a drought crisis in 2021 that resulted in the loss of thousands of livestock. To improve drought forecasting accuracy, this study applies Machine Learning and Deep Learning (ML and DL)...journal article 2024

Wang, X. (author), Corzo, Gerald (author), Lü, Haishen (author), Zhou, Shiliang (author), Mao, K. (author), Zhu, Yonghua (author), Duarte Prieto, F.S. (author), Liu, Mingwen (author), Su, Jianbin (author)Sub-seasonal drought forecasting is crucial for early warning in estimating agricultural production and optimizing irrigation management, as forecasting skills are relatively weak during this period. Soil moisture exhibits stronger persistence compared to other climate system quantities, which makes it especially influential in shaping land...journal article 2024

(author), Hirota, Marina (author), Conradi, Timo (author), de Keersmaecker, Wanda (author), Van Meerbeek, Koenraad (author), Somers, Ben (author)Dynamic ecosystems, such as the Amazon forest, are expected to show critical slowing down behavior, or slower recovery from recurrent small perturbations, as they approach an ecological threshold to a different ecosystem state. Drought occurrences are becoming more prevalent across the Amazon, with known negative effects on forest health and...journal article 2024

Hariharan Sudha, S. (author), Ragno, E. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), Kok, M. (author)The Netherlands has traditionally focused on managing flood risk. However, the frequent occurrence of droughts in recent years has brought attention to managing both extremes. Transitions between these opposite extremes pose additional challenges to water management, requiring a trade-off between water storage during dry periods and flood...journal article 2024

Diaz, Vitali (author), Corzo Perez, Gerald A. (author), Van Lanen, Henny A.J. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)In its three-dimensional (3-D) characterization, drought is an event whose spatial extent changes over time. Each drought event has an onset and end time, a location, a magnitude, and a spatial trajectory. These characteristics help to analyze and describe how drought develops in space and time (i.e., drought dynamics). Methodologies for 3-D...book chapter 2024

Li, Peng (author), Jia, Li (author), Lu, Jing (author), Jiang, Min (author), Zheng, C. (author), Menenti, M. (author)Flash droughts tend to cause severe damage to agriculture due to their characteristics of sudden onset and rapid intensification. Early detection of the response of vegetation to flash droughts is of utmost importance in mitigating the effects of flash droughts, as it can provide a scientific basis for establishing an early warning system....journal article 2024

Verdaasdonk, Matthijs (author)In dit onderzoek is onderzocht welke aanvullingen in het waterschaarstebeleid ervoor kunnen zorgen dat de beleidsontwikkelingen in Nederland aansluiten op de optredende verandering tot en met 2050. Hierbij is enerzijds in kaart gebracht hoe het beleid, met betrekking tot waterschaarste, zich heeft ontwikkeld van de Eerste Nota Waterhuishouding...master thesis 2023

de Koe, Luka (author)As a result of ongoing climate change, urban environments are put under increasing pressure from extreme weather events. Insufficient research is being done into the modeling of urban drought resilience. Most urban drought resilience and water network optimization models are designed for city-scale demand with regional water supply networks and...master thesis 2023

Gasten, Caroline (author)Recent Conflict Early Warning Systems have found little evidence of predictive power of drought indicators for conflict prediction. However, this may result from the context-specificity of the drought-conflict relationship, as stressed in the more recent climate-conflict literature.<br/><br/>The present thesis assesses the local role of...master thesis 2023

DENG, Jing (author)Under future warmer climates, drought events are projected to occur more frequently with increasing impacts in many regions and river basins. This study focuses on exploring the potential of the LSTM deep learning (DL) approach for operational streamflow drought forecasting for the Rhine River at Lobith with a lead time (LT) of up to 46 days. ...master thesis 2023

Imasaki Afonso, Victoria (author)The Paraná River is the second longest in South America and has always been a corridor for the migration of flora and fauna across the continent. In recent decades, it became one of the most important economic axes of the continent, crossing some of its most populous areas. However, in 2019, a severe drought event in the Upper Paraná River basin...master thesis 2023

Schüll, Martine (author)Drought is a current problem in North-Brabant and might become more severe by climate change. Water board ‘The Dommel’, managing the drainage basin of the Dommel brook, aims for a future proof water system by 2050. At the same time, the urbanization agenda for North-Brabant anticipates a growing need for houses in the near and far future. A...master thesis 2023

van den Berg, Anna (author)More and more frequently, the streamflow of the Rhine becomes dangerously low. Drought is exacerbated by climate change, glaciers are melting at rapid rates. These problems affect the functions and ecosystems around the Rhine. The Rhine accounts for two-thirds of all inland waterway transports across Europe and thus experiences severe economic...master thesis 2023

Khoshnazar, Ali (author), Corzo Perez, Gerald A. (author), Diaz, Vitali (author)Drought directly impacts the living organisms and environment, and thereby, its assessment is essential. Different drought indices require different data, which can be obtained based on models or in-situ measurements, demanding a significant amount of effort. Using remotely sensed (RS) data from satellites can facilitate this data acquisition....book chapter 2023

(author)Preventive Drought Management Measures (PDMMs) aim to reduce the chance of droughts and minimize drought-associated damages. Selecting PDMMs is not a trivial task, and it can be asserted that actual contributions to drought alleviation still need to be adequately researched. This study evaluates the effects of three potential PDMMs, namely,...journal article 2023
