Abstract This study evaluated the effects of vegetation and internal water storage (IWS) on evapotranspiration (ET), hydrologic performance, and water quality in bioretention mesocosms. Twelve mesocosms were configured as planted/free-drainage (PF), planted/IWS (PI), unplanted/free-drainage (UF), and …

Urbanisation and climate change increase the need for quantitative insight into the contribution of nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate adaptation. While NbS are widely implemented at local scales, their aggregated contribution to regional and national adaptation ambitions remains largely unknown. …

Due to growing power consumption and the energy transition, installation of high-voltage underground cables (HVUC) is becoming increasingly crucial for increasing transmission capacity while minimising societal and environmental disruption. This thesis, completed in a professional setting at Witteveen+Bos, …

The Vietnam Mekong Delta (VMD) is an essential region providing food security. According to The World Bank (2024), the Mekong Delta is the Vietnamese centre of rice production, with 50% of the country’s rice production and 90% of exports. Besides its agricultural activity, VMD is also an important aquacultural …

The proposed research examines the international practicality of a large industrial production hall which is under development by GBS Plovdiv AD in Industrial Park Shumen, Bulgaria. The main goal is to evaluate whether the current technical design may be applied in different European regulatory and environmental …

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 …

Though the problem of water risks is growing and becoming more evident, there is a lack of structured information about how these risks are managed through the certification process. While there are certain credits dedicated to managing water risks and implementing measures in regard to them in the …

Cities and communities are central arenas for the global sustainability transition, and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is increasingly recognised as a key lever for the long-term societal learning this transition requires. Yet there is no systematic, transparent way to assess whether municipal …

Biwen Wang en Jennefer Beenen presenteerden een poster waarin werd getoond hoe de Hanze Sequencing Facility onderzoek, innovatie en onderwijs versterkt door middel van geavanceerde sequencingtechnologieën, deskundige ondersteuning en nauwe samenwerking met onderzoekers en studenten. "In 2026 is het 10 …

The success of the energy transition will depend not only on the rapid deployment of zeroemission technologies, but also on the expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen. Equally important is meaningful engagement with the communities affected by this transition. Despite …
