Globalisation, International Transport and the Global Environment (GITAGE)
The project 'Globalisation, International Transport and the Global Environment' (GITAGE) aims to map out the transport implications of current world-wide globalisation trends, with a particular view…
Climate Change and Vector-Borne Diseases. A global and site-specific assessment
An increased incidence of vector-borne diseases is to be expected as a result of climate change. The projected changes in climate and climate variability will have a profound impact on the ecology of…
Achteruitgang van de kwaliteit van land voor landbouwproductie als gevolg van land degradatie kan een bedreiging vormen voor de voedselproductie. Erosie veroorzaakt door oppervlakkige afstroming van…
Food security may be threatened by loss of soil productivity as a result of human-induced land degradation. Water erosion is the most important cause of land degradation, and its effects are…
Upscaling and Downscaling of Regional Methane Sources - rice agriculture as a case study
Methane (CH 4 ) is a potent greenhouse gas. Wetland rice fields constitute one of the major anthropogenic CH 4 sources but the source strength is surrounded by a large uncertainty. The work presented…
Effects of climate change on water relations in forests were studied using several modelling approaches. Of several models tested, the FORGRO model had the highest potential for a reliable estimation…
The study evaluates the Dutch regime formation on climate change in the years around the Kyoto Protocol (1997) based on case studies on Burden sharing / the Triptych approach and North-South relations…
De studie maakt deel uit van het Strategisch Onderzoek van het RIVM. Er is een modelstructuur ontwikkeld waarmee scenario's van consumptie en de hieraan gerelateerde milieudruk worden ontworpen. De…
Evaluation of Options for Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions bij Changes in Household Consumption Patterns
The Lifestyle project (funded in NRP-1) studied energy requirements of entire household consumption patterns. There, it was concluded that a substantial reduction potential existed for the total…
Fysieke productieontwikkelingen in de industrie. Het gebruik van STREAM bij verkenningen
De levenscyclus van materialen als staal, aluminium en papier belast het milieu. Met name omzetting van grondstoffen naar basismaterialen door o.a. kraak- en smeltprocessen kost veel energie. Op…
