Meeting the Paris Climate Agreement goals for renewable energy, sea level rise protection and nature preservation require innovative multifunctional solutions in the Netherlands. As part of the Delta21 project, which looks at creating an energy storing reservoir and an energy producing tidal power plant …

The present study focuses on the environmental and socio-economic impacts of extreme drought in the Aspiring UNESCO Scheldt Delta Geopark (ASDG). Climate change projections indicate that periods of extreme drought, as experienced in 2018, are likely to occur with higher frequency and intensity in the …

Stormwater runoff has severe negative and direct impact on the quality of surface waters and groundwater. The impact can cause chemical and heavy-metal pollution. Applying well established methods to map pollutants in urban areas and specifically in Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), such as Sustainable Urban …

Een narratief onderzoek naar interculturele ontmoetingen in het hogerkunstonderwijs

To enhance the transparency, accountability and efficiency of the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security, the ministry has set up an open data program to proactively stimulate sharing its (public-funded) data sets with the public or with other organi-sations. Disclosure of personal data is considered …

Urbanisation and climate change have an effect on the water balance in our cities resulting in challenges as flooding, droughts and heatstress. Implementation of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) can help to restore the water balance in cities by storing and infiltrating stormwater into the subsurface …

Omdat hoogsensitiviteit pas sinds een twee decennia wetenschappelijke aandacht krijgt is nog veel onduidelijk over dit onderwerp. Het heeft een zweverig imago, maar met wetenschappelijke onderzoeken is dat imago direct te weerleggen. Steeds meer onderzoek wijst namelijk uit dat hoogsensitiviteit te maken …

Door de veranderingen in het zorglandschap is het voor zorginstellingen noodzakelijk de zorg anders te organiseren. Er zijn steeds minder personele en financiële middelen en aan de andere kant neemt de zorgzwaarte toe. Een mogelijke oplossing voor dit probleem wordt gezien in domotica. Het begrip domotica …

Wind and solar power generation will continue to grow in the energy supply of the future, but its inherent variability (intermittency) requires appropriate energy systems for storing and using power. Storage of possibly temporary excess of power as methane from hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide is a promising …

Power to methane provides a solution to a couple of two problems: unbalanced production and demand of wind plus solar power electricity and the low methane content of biogas by storing electricity via hydrogen into methane gas using carbon dioxide from biogas and methanogenic bacteria. The four-year …
