Multi-Greenhouse Gas Mitigation and Climate Policy
The costs of a climate policy strategy targeting all greenhouse gases are substantially lower than a stragery targeting energy-related CO 2 alone. This conclusion can be drawn from the results of the…
Climate change and its effects are observable also in the Netherlands. To date the effects are still limited in magnitude. This might change in the coming decades. Present trends in, for example, sea…
Comparison of recent modeled and observed trends in total column ozone
We present a comparison of trends in total column ozone from 10 two-dimensional and 4 three-dimensional models and solar backscatter ultraviolet–2 (SBUV/2) satellite observations from the period 1979…
Recent trends in global greenhouse gas emissions:regional trends 1970–2000 and spatial distributionof key sources in 2000
In 2004, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (MNP) and the Max Plank Institute for Chemistry (MPIC) started a project to create…
A guidance for assessing and communicating uncertainties
In the daily practice of science for policy, as experienced by governmental agencies which inform the policy and the public on the state and outlook of the environment, there is a pressing need for…
Sources and delivery of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus to the coastal zone: an overview of Global Nutrient Export from Watersheds (NEWS) models and their application
An overview of the first spatially explicit, multielement (N, P, and C), multiform (dissolved inorganic: DIN, DIP; dissolved organic: DOC, DON, DOP; and particulate: POC, PN, PP) predictive model…
Vulnerability and Human Well-being; Report of a workshop in preparation of GEO-4
This report explores different concepts of human vulnerability in relation to global environmental change and human well-being. It presents the results of a three day workshop on ‘Vulnerability and…
Countries' climate mitigation commitments under the 'South-North Dialogue' Proposal - a quantitative analysis using the FAIR 2.1 world model
The 'South–North Dialogue Proposal' outlines an approach for an 'equitable' differentiation of post-2012 commitments. An analysis of the proposal shows that for the stringent stabilisation targets…
Pesticide transport in groundwater at the national scale: coupling an unsaturated zone model with a groundwater flow model
Evaluation of the leaching potential of a pesticide and its metabolites is a crucial part of European registration procedures. So far, these procedures consider the movement into the shallow…
