Kalman filter analysis of boundary layer ozone in Europe with a chemistry transport model
Elevated concentrations of ozone in the boundary layer can cause adverse affects to human and ecosystems. Ozone in the boundary layer is formed by chemical reactions of ozone precursors, nitrogen…
Determinants of land-use change patterns in the Netherlands
Land-use-change patterns are the result of the complex interaction between the human and the physical environment. Case studies of the determinants of land-use change can help to analyse which theory…
A freshwater food web model for the combined effects of nutrients and insecticide stress and subsequent recovery
A microcosm experiment that addressed the interaction between eutrophication processes and contaminants was analyzed using a food web model. Both direct and indirect effects of nutrient additions and…
Climate change over the past approximately 30 years has produced numerous shifts in the distributions and abundances of species and has been implicated in one species-level extinction.
Towards human and social sustainability indicators
Ever since the Brundtland Commission presented its report on sustainable development in 1987, various institutions have either adopted or tried to refine the approach used in the report. Currently…
The RIVM-MNP contribution to the evaluation of the EMEP Unified (Eulerian) model
A few aspects of the EMEP Unified (Eulerian) model have been evaluated by analysing the deposition parameterisation for acidifying compounds and the concentration and deposition of SO x , NO x , and…
The RIVM-MNP contribution to the evaluation of the EMEP Unified (Eulerian) model
Een aantal aspecten van het EMEP Unified (Euleriaans) model zijn geëvalueerd door het analyseren van de depositie parameterisatie van verzurende stoffen, de concentratie en depositie van SO x , NO x…
Met de introductie van het concept 'duurzame ontwikkeling', is er een grote behoefte aan indicatoren die de huidige trends volgen en toekomstige ontwikkelingen in kunnen schatten. Dit rapport…
