Assessment of the global and regional geographical, technical and economic potential of onshore wind energy
The regional and global geographical, technical and economic potential of onshore wind energy is assessed using a grid cell approach. For the economic potential, the regional cost–supply curves of…
Reference assemblages for soil ecosystems: evaluating functions and ecological services
The Dutch soil policy is being focussed towards a more conscious and sustainable use of the soil, taking into account ecological, economical, and societal dimensions, as stated in the so-called…
This report describes in detail, OPS-Pro 4.1, the latest version of the Operational Priority Substances (OPS) model. OPS is a model that simulates the atmospheric process sequence of emission…
Reference assemblages for soil ecosystems: evaluating functions and ecological services
Het bodembeleid gaat zich richten op een bewuster en meer duurzaam gebruik van de bodem, waarbij zowel de ecologische, economische als sociale dimensies meewegen. Dit is de boodschap die in de…
Dit rapport beschrijft OPS-Pro 4.1, de laatste versie van het Operationele Prioritaire Stoffen (OPS) model. Het OPS model is een mechanistisch model dat op lokale en nationale schaal de atmosferische…
Comparison of modeled and observed stratospheric ozone springtime
Abstract: To investigate how well the global distribution of total ozone is simulated by models we have selected a number of parameters in climatological values we address are timing, magnitude and…
Quick scan health benefits and costs of water supply and sanitation
The objective of this report is to outline the development issues in the interaction of water & sanitation and population health in general, and to summarise possible solutions to reduce the water…
