Likelihood of meeting the EU limit values for NO2 and PM10 concentrations in the Netherlands
In 2007, the European limit values for annual average NO 2 concentration and for daily average PM 10 concentration have been exceeded along motorways and city streets in the Netherlands. The total…
What would have happened to the ozone layer if chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had not been regulated?
This study simulated the effects on the stratosphere of a steady growth of ozone depleting substances and compared those results to the normal expectations of the evolution of the stratosphere in the…
Study on the spatial variability of urban background PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations
Measurements have shown that the spatial variability of urban background concentrations of particulate matter (PM) was about the same as the measurements’ estimated inaccuracy. The differences were 10…
Steering local housing production: evaluating the performance of governance structures
This article presents an analytical framework that allows us to evaluate the performance of dynamic governance structures. In housing development processes, governance structures – markets…
Erratum: Voyage without constellation: evaluating the performance of three uncalibrated process-oriented models (Hydrology research (2009) 40(2) (261-72))

Voyage without constellation: evaluating the performance of three uncalibrated process-oriented models
Three process-oriented dynamic acidification models were applied to a long-term monitoring site without calibration to evaluate the influence of model structural differences on simulation. The models…
Electric driving - Evaluating transitions based on system options
Large-scale use of electric vehicles could drastically reduce CO 2 emissions, especially if more electricity would be generated by sustainable energy. Moreover, using electric vehicles would diminish…
Territorial Impact Assessment of Territorial Cohesion for the Netherlands
In terms of land use, the impacts of territorial cohesion, however interpreted, would be virtually negligible for the Netherlands in the near future. In the long term, territorial cohesion does…
The Environmental Food Crisis: the environment’s role in averting future food crises
A new rapid response assessment report released by United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) warns that up to 25% of the world’s food production may be lost by 2050, due to environmental breakdown…
Assessment of the relation between climate and nitrogen related policy for the Dutch situation
This assessment reviews the major drivers and interactions of the cycles of nitrogen and greenhouse gasses in the Netherlands. The objective was to identify opportunities for synergism of climate and…
