Exploring climate regimes for differentiation of commitments to achieve the EU climate target
This report explores the implications of various international climate regimes for differentiating post-Kyoto (after 2012) commitments compatible with the EU long-term climate objective to limit…
The GeoPEARL model. Description, applications and manual
The GeoPEARL model presented here is a spatially distributed model describing the fate of pesticides in the soil-plant system. The model calculates the drainage of pesticides into local surface waters…
European exchange of air quality monitoring meta information in 2001. ETC/ACC technical paper 2003-1
Current air quality legislation of the European Union, Council Decision (97/101/EC), requires the Commission to prepares a technical report on a yearly basis combining the meta information and air…
Incorporating macropore flow into focus PEC models
Macropore flow can strongly influence leaching of pesticides in the unsaturated zone, but this process has until now played only a limited role in exposure assessments.
Great transition: the promise and lure of the times ahead
More information on the Great Transition Project can be found at the website of Great Transition Initiative– Hopeful Global Scenarios of Earth’s Future, a global network elaborating visions and…
Effective approaches for predicting environmental concentrations of pesticides: the APECOP project
Environmental fate modelling is now actively used for the registration of plant protection products (PPPs). Yet, to be efficient in a harmonized registration process, the quality of PEC modelling…
Dynamic modelling of surface waters: impact of emission reduction-possibilities and limitations
Dynamic models provide an extension to critical loads by predicting the timescale of chemical recovery to emission reductions. They can also be used to determine the deposition levels required to…
Nationwide assessments of non-point source pollution with field-scale developed models: the pesticide case
The use of nationwide models of non-point source pollutants in soils is now common practice. Most of these models have originally been developed at the field-scale. An integrated approach (a ‘research…
Methodological approach for evaluating first tier PEC groundwater scenarios supporting the prediction of environmental concentrations of pesticides at the European scale
Within the framework of the harmonised registration of plant protection products (PPPs) at the EU-scale, environmental fate models are nowadays combined with a series of scenarios to predict the…
