To limit the effects of climate change, global average temperature since pre-industrial measurements are to be kept well below 2 °C preferably even at 1.5 °C.

De afdeling Environmental Biology (CML-EB) houdt zich bezig met vraagstukken rondom biodiversiteit en natuurlijke hulpbronnen op het platteland in westerse en niet-westerse gebieden.

To design the ideal water oxidation catalyst, understanding of the catalytic mechanism and decomposition pathways is essential.

The International Course on Water Use and Management in Cagayan Valley The Philippines (2011-2015)

The NET-ROL project builds on the EU's definition of the rule of law to investigate the role of networks in law-making, executive decision-making, and the judiciary. It examines how these networks influence the weakening of the rule of law. Through an interdisciplinary perspective, the project explores…

Astronomical observations of cold regions in the universe show a rich inventory of ices. Part of these ices may end up on planets like our own, but in that journey they will be exposed to considerable amounts of radiation.

This thesis examines the impacts and challenges of water use of electric power system. This thesis found that there are large differences in water use of electricity technologies, with hydropower and thermal power being two large water users.

IoT technology poses serval opportunities to supply chains. This thesis employs grey correlation and forecasting models, system dynamics, agent-based modeling, and ex-ante LCA to investigate and quantify the opportunities and risks of IoT-enabled sustainable supply chain operations from both industrial…

Hydrogen-based fuels are regarded as promising candidates for decarbonizing the maritime shipping sector.

Onderzoek met de ALMA-telescoop waaraan ook de Leidse wetenschappers John Tobin en Steven Bos meewerkten, heeft voor het eerst de sneeuwgrens van water binnen een protoplanetaire schijf in beeld gebracht. Publicatie in Nature op 14 juli

Nederland telt een achttal echte eilanden, of negen als ‘Rottum’ (Rottumeroog en Rottumerplaat) voor twee wordt gerekend. Daarnaast zijn er zeventien voormalige eilanden, waar de sfeer van vroeger nog voelbaar is. Jan Bank en Doeko Bosscher, fervente eilandliefhebbers, onderzoeken de geschiedenis van…

Before the large scale use of renewable energy sources can be implemented in our society, the storage of electrical energy needs to be tackled. Storage the energy as hydrogen via the reduction of protons is a good option.

Op 18 januari is de studie ‘Stille wateren hebben diepe gronden – Een analyse van de inkomensverdeling en haar determinanten over de afgelopen veertig jaar’ verschenen. Op deze website kunnen de studie en het achterliggend cijfermateriaal geraadpleegd worden.

In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

In the search for sustainable energy solutions, the idea of artificial photosynthesis has been proposed as an approach with which to use water and sunlight to produce hydrogen.

Acidobacteria is a widely distributed phylum but their functional roles in ecosystem processes are still largely elusive.

In dit onderzoeksproject doen we onderzoek naar spreekvaardigheidsonderwijs, gericht op de bovenbouw van havo en vwo in Nederland.

As a virtually inexhaustible source, solar energy plays a major role in future global energy scenarios.

Indonesia is experiencing various environmental challenges related to its fast economic growth. Therefore, it is necessary to have measurable and applicable indicators to obtain accurate data and information regarding the costs of adverse environmental impacts arising from economic activities to support…

Consequences for sediment stability and seston trapping

Our modern society thrives on chemicals, and demand is only growing with novel chemicals being introduced onto the market. However, with increasing demand, so come potentially increasing ecological consequences of these man-made chemicals.
