Versneld naar een duurzame energievoorziening: hybride energiesystemen als schakel naar een duurzame toekomst: TNO energievisie 2030

Slob, A. (author), Willemse, K. (author), van Bracht, M. (author)

Energie is een van onze primaire levensbehoeftes en een belangrijke motor van de economie. Vanaf de negentiende eeuw halen we onze energie vooral uit fossiele brandstoffen. Met deze vrijwel onuitputtelijke bronnen is voor velen de welvaart enorm gegroeid. De laatste decennia is het echter duidelijk geworden dat uitstoot van broeikasgassen,...

Water scarcity is a serious environmental problem in many European regions, and will likely increase in the near future as a consequence of increased abstraction and climate change. Water scarcity exacerbates the effects of multiple stressors, and thus results in decreased water quality. It impacts river ecosystems, threatens the services they...

The first generation of WFD River Basin Management Plans is now available. This is a formidable achievement and a great step towards addressing Europe's deteriorated river systems. However, plans are only words: only the actual implementation of the selected measures will result in achievement of good ecological and chemical status. The WFD...

Challenges of linking scientific knowledge to river basin management policy: AquaTerra as a case study

Slob, A. (author), Rijnveld, M. (author)

The EU Project AquaTerra generates knowledge about the river-soil-sediment-groundwater system and delivers scientific information of value for river basin management. In this article, the use and ignorance of scientific knowledge in decision making is explored by a theoretical review. We elaborate on the 'two-communities theory', which explains...

Background, Aims, and Scope. Sediment management in coastal zones is taking place in high complex environments. Present management options do not have a sophisticated way of dealing with the actual complexity of the physical and the social systems and with the unpredictability that is inherent with these systems. Therefore, a new approach in...
