Rapid Climatic Warming in the past: reconstruction and modelling

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…

Energy and emission scenarios for China in the 21st century - exploration of baseline development and mitigation options

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

A 1°×1° resolution data set of historical anthropogenic trace gas emissions for the period 1890–1990

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.

Estimating global land use change over the past 300 years: The HYDE database

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

Uncertainty assessment of the IMAGE/TIMER B1 CO2 emissions scenario, using the NUSAP method

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…

Applications of EDGAR. Including a description of EDGAR 3.0: reference database with trend data for 1970-1995

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…

From Kyoto to The Hague - European perspectives on making the Kyoto Protocol Work

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

Mitigation scenarios in a world oriented at sustainable development: the role of technology, efficiency and timing

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…

PEARL model for pesticide behaviour and emissions in soil-plant systems

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…

Sustainability and the cultural factor. Results from the Dutch GOES MASS PUBLIC MODULE

The Dutch government declared sustainable development as the cornerstone of its environmental policy. This strategic policy shift presupposes a concerned citizenry willing to accept the way this might…
