Bansal, Vaibhav (author), Boersma, JP (author), Schotanus, Jelle (author), Stadtlander, W. (author), de Boer, A.M. (author)There is an imbalance in the nitrogen cycle, mainly caused by an increasingly intensive agricultural sector. This leads to the degradation of nature and the loss of biodiversity. Measures have been taken at European level to reduce the amount of nitrogen emitted by the agricultural sector, but this has caused a backlash as farmers in many...student report 2024

Esmeijer, Marja (author)The Netherlands aims to have a carbon-neutral energy system by 2050. Hydrogen is seen as an important energy carrier that can contribute to this transition. Not only can hydrogen potentially decarbonise industry, transportation, and possibly agriculture and the built environment, but it can also be used to store electricity for longer periods....master thesis 2024

Seshan, S. (author), Poinapen, Johann (author), Zandvoort, Marcel H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)A biokinetic model based on BioWin's Activated Sludge Digestion Model (ASDM) coupled with a nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) model was setup and calibrated for a full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) Amsterdam West, in the Netherlands. The model was calibrated using one year of continuous data to predict the seasonal variations of N<sub...journal article 2024

Gründemann, Gaby J. (author)Improved understanding of historical precipitation extremes is important to better explain their behavior, predict future occurrences, and inform planning and engineering design. The intensity, seasonality, and timing of these extremes have far-reaching consequences, and require a comprehensive analysis of both historical trends and projected...doctoral thesis 2023

Koole, Emma (author)This study investigates the dynamics of seasonal precipitation in Suriname with the help of moisture tracking and Sea Surface Temperature correlations. Prolonged drought periods, heavy precipitation events and accompanying flash floods and landslides are expected to increase in Suriname in the coming years. Reliable seasonal precipitation...master thesis 2023

Guillou, Nicolas (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Kamranzad, Bahareh (author)Refined numerical wave energy resource assessments are required to reduce uncertainties in the evaluation of available power and energy production. However, to restrict the computational cost, a great part of wave hindcast simulations cover a limited time range (below ten years) or rely on coarse spatial resolutions while routinely ignoring tide...journal article 2023

Gründemann, Gaby J. (author), Zorzetto, E. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Global warming impacts the hydrological cycle, affecting the seasonality and timing of extreme precipitation. Understanding historical changes in extreme precipitation occurrence is crucial for assessing their impacts. This study uses relative entropy to analyze historical changes in seasonality and timing of extreme daily precipitation...journal article 2023

Zhang, X. (author), Broere, W. (author)Seasonal joint deformations within an immersed tunnel are important indicators to assess structural behavior and therefore should be monitored in detail. In this study, distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) are applied to precisely measure the seasonal joint deformations in an immersed tunnel for the first time. Measurements over a one...journal article 2023

Dave, K (author), Gangoli Rao, A. (author)The power sector accounts for ∼40% of global energy-related CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Its decarbonization by switching to low-carbon renewables is essential for a sustainable future. Existing electrical grids, however, have limited capacity to absorb the variability introduced by these new energy sources and rely largely on natural-gas-based...journal article 2023

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

Salinas Rodriquez, Sergio (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), McClain, M.E. (author)Environmental flow (eflow) reference values play a key role in environmental water science and practice. In Mexico, eflow assessments are set by a norm in which the frequency of occurrence is the managing factor to integrate inter-annual and seasonal flow variability components into environmental water reserves. However, the frequency parameters...journal article 2022

Calvo-Alvarado, Julio César (author), JIMENEZ RODRIGUEZ, C.D. (author), Solano, Juan Carlos (author), Arias-Rodríguez, Oscar (author)Seasonal wetlands in the tropics are important habitats for local and migratory bird species. In the northwestern Pacific of Costa Rica, Palo Verde National Park has one of the most important seasonal wetlands of Central America. The management history of this wetland has shown the impact of invasive plant species such as Parkinsonia aculeata...journal article 2022

Boon, Boudewijn (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)While over the last century food systems have become more controlled, standard-ized and globalized, the plants and animals that form the basis of our food production still show seasonal fluctuation. The growth and reproductive cycles of these organisms follow seasonal weather patterns, including changes in rainfall, light exposure and...journal article 2022

J. (author)State-of-the-art flood hazard maps in coastal cities are often obtained from simulating coastal or pluvial events separately. This method does not account for the seasonality of flood drivers and their mutual dependence. In this article, we include the impact of these two factors in a computationally efficient probabilistic framework for...journal article 2022

van den Berg, Tess (author)We are used to having access to a wide range of products every day of the year. Technology and import enable this offer, as fresh products were initially seasonal bound. The topic of seasonality is often researched and discussed in the light of sustainability and health. The focus is either on how to reduce food miles or why a connection with...master thesis 2021

Fiddes, Sonya (author), Pepler, Acacia (author), Saunders, K.R. (author), Hope, Pandora (author)Climate scientists routinely rely on averaging over time or space to simplify complex information and to concisely communicate findings. Currently, no consistent definitions of 'warm' or 'cool' seasons for southern Australia exist, making comparisons across studies difficult. Similarly, numerous climate studies in Australia use either...journal article 2021
