Stouten, David (author)This study aims to establish a framework for the growing number of trend analyses that have been performed on river flows in Europe. Most studies apply statistical trend test to fixed periods with relatively short records. Fixed periods are crucial for trend testing, as they provide an appropriate visualisation in a geographical sense. However,...master thesis 2023

Griekspoor, Wessel (author)Wealth inequality exists all over the world. This can be seen as a social problem because it violates accepted norms of egalitarian distribution. Moreover, wealth inequality can negatively affect a number of areas, including economic growth. However, wealth inequality also has advantages. For example, it provides incentives to engage in risky...master thesis 2023

Draisma, Max (author)Understanding the factors that drive extreme water levels is key to an accurate assessment of flood hazard. The city of Venice has always been affected by flooding due to extreme water levels. In this study, we examine the factors driving and influencing extreme water levels in the Venice lagoon, aiming at deriving accurate extreme water level...master thesis 2023

Magri, Etienne (author), Buhagiar, Vincent (author), Overend, M. (author)The design trend of most commercial and office buildings over the past three decades focused on attaining a façade design with the highest possible window to wall ratio. Whereas this approach appears to satisfy the aesthetic scope of developing buildings that look ‘modern and transparent’ to maximise on real estate value, the demand for...journal article 2023

(author), Karaliopoulos, Merkouris (author), Anagnostopoulos, Filippos (author), Preuß, Sabine (author)Prosumers with photovoltaic systems can reduce their electricity expenses by increasing their consumption of self-generated electricity. This makes them more resilient to price shocks, like the 2022 European energy crisis. We evaluate how prosumers adapt their consumption behavior in response to such political uncertainty and increasing...conference paper 2023
