Meeting the EU 2°C climate target: global and regional emission implications
This article presents a set of multi-gas emission pathways for different CO 2 -equivalent concentration stabilization levels, i.e. 400, 450, 500 and 550 ppm CO 2 -equivalent, along with an analysis of…
Scientific review of TREMOVE - a European transport policy assessment model
A review of the European policy assessment model TREMOVE carried out by IIASA (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis), BIO Intelligence Services S.A.S., IEEP (Institute for European…
Short- and long-term economic consequences of the dissolution of marital and consensual unions. The example of the Netherlands
Many studies have shown the dramatic gender-specific economic consequences of divorce, but there are almost none that describe the economic implications of dissolving a consensual union. The present…
Sensitivity of ozone concentrations in the LOTOS-EUROS model
The study reported here describes the influence on ozone concentrations in the LOTOS-EUROS model of model parameters, chemistry scheme, VOC emissions, NO x emissions, convergence of the chemistry…
Meeting report: national workshops for the communication of air pollution and health information: summary of four workshops in different regions of Europe
AIRNET was a thematic network project (2002-2004) initiated to stimulate the interaction between researchers in air pollution and health in Europe. As part of AIRNET's communication strategy, a…
Modelling the effect of climate change on recovery of acidified freshwaters: relative sensitivity of individual processes in the MAGIC model
The MAGIC model was used to evaluate the relative sensitivity of several possible climate-induced effects on the recovery of soil and surface water from acidification. A common protocol was used at 14…
In 2005, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere was approximately 2 percent below last year’s level. The total emission over 2005 was evaluated at 214 billion CO 2 equivalents…
Multi-gas emissions pathways to meet climate targets
So far, climate change mitigation pathways focus mostly on CO2 and a limited number of climate targets. Comprehensive studies of emission implications have been hindered by the absence of a flexible…
Guidance for uncertainty assessment and communication: checklist for uncertainty in spatial information and visualising spatial uncertainty
Uncertainty in spatial information and how to present it. Developments affecting the environment and nature often include spatial components. In the publications of the Netherlands Environmental…
A model for external drift kriging with uncertain covariates applied to air quality measurements and dispersion model output
A method that combines uncertain air quality measurements with uncertain secondary information from an atmospheric dispersion model, is presented. The method combines external drift kriging and a…
