Critical materials are economically important raw materials with high supply risk. They are widely used in electronic components, batteries, sensors and drone-related systems. For Europe, access to these materials is a strategic issue because many of them are not sufficiently available within the European …

Within the Cool Neighbourhoods project, heat stress is assessed using the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), a thermal comfort indicator that combines meteorological conditions with spatial and environmental variables. PET-based heat stress maps provide insight into spatial differences in thermal …

Single-use cardiac catheters contain platinum group metals, platinum, palladium, and iridium, in their electrode components, yet are routinely incinerated after a single procedure, destroying materials that are both economically valuable and classified as critical raw materials by the European Union. …

Increased activity of the European beaver (Castor fiber) presents a growing structural threat to regional flood defenses in the Netherlands due to extensive burrowing.
