Four scenarios for Europe. Based on UNEP's third Global Environment Outlook
The third Global Environment Outlook (GEO-3) was published on the eve of the Johannesburg summit. At that moment in time (autumn 2002), GEO-3 looked back thirty years and forward thirty years. As set…
Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2001
The National Inventory Report ‘Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2001’ is now available. This report has been published at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning…
Manual for Dynamic Modelling of Soil Response to Atmospheric Deposition
The objective of this manual is to inform the network of National Focal Centers (NFCs) about the requirements of methodologies for the dynamic modelling of geochemical processes in soils in particular…
Evaluation of accessibility impacts of land-use scenarios: the implications of job competition, land-use and infrastructure developments for the Netherlands
Activity-based accessibility measures, describing the level of access to spatially distributed activities, are not put to the same use in land use and/or transport policy evaluations as are…
Ecological effects of pesticide use in the Netherlands: Modeled and observed effects in the field ditch
This study dealing with risks to the aquatic ecosystem imposed by the application of pesticides in the Netherlands made use of a novel method to calculate aquatic exposure to a large variety of…
Geochemistry of some rare earth elements in groundwater, Vierlingsbeek, The Netherlands
Groundwater samples were taken from seven bore holes at depths ranging from 2 to 41 m nearby drinking water pumping station Vierlingsbeek, The Netherlands and analysed for Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu…
Uncertainty analysis for NOx emissions from Dutch passenger cars in 1998. Applying structured expert elicitation and distinguishing different types of uncertainty
In decision-making processes on emission reduction, not only are emission data needed but also information on the uncertainty of these data. Here, structured expert elicitation was used an uncertainty…
Multi-gas emission profiles for stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations: Emission implications of limiting global temperature increase to 2 degrees centigrade
In this report we present two CO 2-equivalent emission profiles leading to two different stabilised greenhouse gas concentration levels. The contribution of the various greenhouse gas emissions is…
In 2001, version 2.2 of the IMAGE model was completed as result of a multi-year development trajectory. Besides an ensuing internal discussion at RIVM on the way forward with global integrated…
Climate impact response functions as impact tools in the tolerable windows approach
A critical issue for policymakers in defining mitigationstrategies for climate change is the availability of appropriate evaluation tools. The development of climate impact response functions (CIRFs)…
