The Interactive Scenario Scanner (ISS): a Tool to Suppport the Dialogue between Science and Policy on Scenario Development; Version 1
In order to explore long-term policy options for controlling climate change, there is a need to develop and evaluate long-term emission scenarios. If these scenarios are to be policy relevant, they…
Ecosystem Vulnerability and Climate Protection Goals
Using a review of possible impacts, scenarios of the IMAGE 2 model and the 'Safe Landing Analyses', we have shown here that selecting an appropriate ecological target could assist in defining…
The impact of NOx emissions from subsonic aircraft on the atmosphere: a 3D model study of the changes in ozone and radiative forcing for the period 1990-2015
Global air traffic has increased extensively during the last few decades and is expected to increase further over the next 20 years by about 5-6% per year. Emissions of trace gases such as carbon…
Environment and space. Review of concepts, illustrations and fields of research
The Ministry of Housing, Physical planning and Environment wants to achieve a better coordination of environmental and physical planning policies. In this report the relation between environment and…
Scenarios with an explicit time-dependence are crucial for an adequate assessment of the impacts of climatic change. Furthermore, an effective treatment of feedbacks requires a geographically explicit…
Statistical analyses of water quality parameters in the Reeuwijk Lakes Elfhoeven and Nieuwenbroek (1983-1992) and Klein Vogelenzang and Groot Vogelenzang (1988-1992)
The results of the statistical analyses are used in other RIVM-reports which respectively give an evaluation of a study about reduction of P-load in Elfhoeven/Nieuwenbroek (703711002), biomanipulation…
