This report gives the extended summary of the project 'The impact of climate change on the river Rhine and the implications for water management in the Netherlands', carried out within the framework…

The last two important periods of climate warming (at c. 14.7 and 11.5 kyr BP) in NW and Central Europe are characterized quantitatively by their shifts especially in winter and summer temperature…

Together with the Chinese Energy Research Institute, RIVM has developed a set of energy and emission scenarios for China between 1995 and 2100.

An anthropogenic emissions data set has been constructed for CO 2, CO, CH 4, nonmethane volatile organic compounds, SO 2, NOx, N 2O, and NH 3 spanning the period 1890–1990.

Testing against historical data is an important step for validating integrated models of global environmental change.

This project implemented a novel approach to uncertainty assessment, known as the NUSAP method (Numeral Unit Spread Assessment Pedigree) to assess qualitative and quantitative uncertainties in the…

EDGAR 2.0 (Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research) provided global annual emissions for 1990 of greenhouse gases CO 2, CH 4 and N 2O and precursor gases CO, NO x, NMVOC and SO 2 both per…

Summary of the 2nd Climate policy workshop in the framework of EFIEA, held in Amsterdam, April 18-19, 2000.

Two different mitigation scenarios for stabilising carbon dioxide concentration at 450 ppmv by 2100 have been developed, founded on the recently developed IPCC-SRES B1 baseline scenario. In both, a…

The use of pesticides in agriculture presents risks to the environment, which are evaluated more and more by using computation models. The new PEARL model simulates the behaviour of pesticides in soil…
