Poster. Polder2C’s is an Interreg-funded project that aims at flood resilience building through fieldwork in the Living Lab Hedwige-Prosperpolder (LLHPP). LLHPP consisted of a 3 Km-long levee where various large-scale surveys, superstorm simulations and emergency response exercises took place in the …

Animal burrows create discontinuities on the body of earthen levees that under certain circumstances can threaten their structural integrity through hydraulic alteration and surface erosion. Although it is a virtually established fact that discontinuities can undermine the structural integrity of levees, …

The purpose of this paper is to propose a research by design strategy, focusing on the generation of innovative climate adaptation solutions by utilizing the Design Thinking Process. The proposed strategy has been developed and tested in a research and design studio, which took place in 2020 at a Master …

Flooding has become more common in many developing nations as a result of increasing urbanization and climate change. As a result, community people are constantly confronted with the harmful impacts of floods. Flooding is a recurring issue in Nigeria, causing huge economic losses as a result of damage …

A dike has been punctured to allow limited tidal waterflows into an agricultural landscape near the village of De Heen in the west of Brabant Province. A transition towards a brackish agriculture will be supported by a saline visitor center that is embedded in the water flows surrounded by new crops, …

River-floodplain systems, located in the lower gradients of the river, are highly dynamic and biodiverse systems. Despite the ecological and economic importance of river systems, thesesystems are threatened. There is a need for appropriate management to restore and sustain biodiversity across the river …

Permanent grassland soils can act as a sink for carbon and may therefore positively contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. We compared young (5–15 years since latest grassland renewal) with old (>20 years since latest grassland renewal) permanent grassland soils in terms of carbon stock, …

Climate change and changing land use challenge the livability and flood safety of Dutch cities. One option cities have to become more climate-proof is to increase infiltration of stormwater into soil through permeable pavement and thus reduce discharge of stormwater into sewer systems. To analyze the …
