Comparing maps is an important issue in environmental research. There are many reasons to compare maps: (i) to detect temporal/spatial changes or hot-spots (ii) to compare different models…

Despite the wide array of academic research, the impacts of compact urban development are not very well understood. What is lacking are, firstly, the insights into how a region or country would have…

This paper examines job accessibility impacts of intensive and multiple land-use scenarios in the Netherlands’ Randstad Area for the period 1996–2030.

Climate change and its effects are observable also in the Netherlands. To date the effects are still limited in magnitude. This might change in the coming decades. Present trends in, for example, sea…

The costs of a climate policy strategy targeting all greenhouse gases are substantially lower than a stragery targeting energy-related CO 2 alone. This conclusion can be drawn from the results of the…

We present a comparison of trends in total column ozone from 10 two-dimensional and 4 three-dimensional models and solar backscatter ultraviolet–2 (SBUV/2) satellite observations from the period 1979…

In 2004, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (MNP) and the Max Plank Institute for Chemistry (MPIC) started a project to create…

In the daily practice of science for policy, as experienced by governmental agencies which inform the policy and the public on the state and outlook of the environment, there is a pressing need for…

Scientists predict that the environment over the next 100 years will be threatened by severe challenges.
