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…
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…
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…
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…
De Ramsar conventie in Nederland: Meerwaarde voor beleid en beheer
De Ramsar conventie is het oudste internationale verdrag op het gebied van natuurbescherming. Het levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan het behoud van wetlands. Een vogelrichtlijngebied dat als Ramsar…
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…
De uitstoot van het broeikasgas koolstofdioxide (CO 2) was in 2005 enkele procenten lager dan in 2004, vooral omdat de energiesector minder fossiele brandstoffen verbruikte. In plaats van fossiele…
Will climate change affect ectoparasite species ranges?
Main conclusions: The potential for successful translocations of ticks and their pathogens from Africa to the rest of the world is likely to increase over the next 100 years. Although the general…
Option value of public transport: methodology for measurement and case study for regional rail links in the Netherlands
Transport option values can be interpreted in terms of a risk premium that individuals with uncertain demand are willing to pay over and above their expected user benefit for the continued…
