Soil organic carbon (SOC) prediction from remote sensing is often hindered by disturbing factors at the soil surface, such as photosynthetic active and non–photosynthetic active vegetation, variation in soil moisture or surface roughness. With the increasing amount of freely available satellite data, …

Een rendabele teelt van suikerbieten wordt bedreigd door verschillende ziekten en plagen. Zo werd neonicotinoïden toegepast in gepileerd bietenzaad als noodzakelijke en effectieve bescherming tegen onder andere bladluizen en om virusinfecties tegen te gaan. In april 2018 is er een verbod ontstaan doordat …

Nowadays, Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) are developing as innovative multifunctional tools to maximize urban ecosystem services such as storm water preservation, reduction of runoff and flood protection, groundwater pollution prevention, biodiversity enhancement, and microclimate control. Gdańsk is one …

The liveability of cities worldwide is under threat by the predicted increase in intensity and frequency of heatwaves and the absence of a clear spatial overview of where action to address this. Heat stress impairs vital urban functions (Böcker and Thorsson 2014), hits the local economy (Evers et al. …

Op de Klimaatconferentie in Parijs van 2015 is het 4 per 1000 initiatief gelanceerd. Dit initiatief stimuleert het vastleggen van koolstof in de bodem om de klimaatverandering tegen te gaan en tegelijkertijd de kwaliteit van de bodem te verbeteren en daarmee de voedselzekerheid te vergroten. De uitvoering …

Visiedocument met betrekking tot data ondersteunde gezondheidszorg voor het Instituut voor gezondheidszorg (IVG) van Hogeschool Rotterdam. Het doel van dit document is om te schetsen wat de huidige ontwikkelingen zijn omtrent gezondheidszorg en de toepassing van nieuwe technologie zoals big data, remote …

This study investigated the urban growth dynamics of urban regions. The study area was the Marmara Region, one of the most densely populated and ecologically diverse areas in Turkey. Using CORINE land cover data for 2006, 2012, and 2018, the study utilized multiple correspondence analyses and cluster …

The project, during the second phase of the geospatial assessment of the forest resources of Sarawak, anticipates working on the inventory of biomass and carbons stocks in the permanent forest estate (PFE) of Sarawak and some selected forest management units (FMUs), as well as Sarawak’s totally protected …

Climate change accentuates heat waves in The Netherlands. This, in combination with high nutrient concentrations in Dutch surface waters, is intensifying the proliferation of toxic blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), a threat for the health of the population and ecosystems. Lakes are resources for recreational …

Improved remote sensing in the field of UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle) and SFM (Structure From Motion) photography provides the potential for efficient access to forest inventory parameters. These parameters help identify the forest structure, calculate carbon stocks, support sustainable timber extraction …
