The disruption of nutrient cycles caused by human activities such as agriculture and burning fossil fuels is impacting ecosystem services on global and local scales. The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contributes to rising global temperatures and ocean acidification, whereas …

This paper analyses the effect of two new developments: electrification and ‘free floating’ car sharing and their impact on public space. Contrary to station based shared cars, free floating cars do not have dedicated parking or charging stations. They therefore park at public parking spots and utilize …

In certain conditions, (part of) an oil spill can disappear from the water surface through a process called natural dispersion. One available oil spill response option is to enhance this process by addition of dispersants (chemical dispersion). An informed decision for such response requires insight …

Een grootschalig opgezet onderzoek, waaraan Nederland deelneemt, laat zien dat de ecosystemen onder drijvende objecten nauwelijks worden benadeeld door bijvoorbeeld de beperkte lichttoetreding. Vervolgonderzoek richt zich op het leggen van verbanden tussen de ecoscans en waterkwaliteitmetingen en de …

Eutrophication because of heightened phosphorus and nitrogen input into freshwater ecosystems is an increasing problem, while at the same time phosphorus availability for agricultural purposes is decreasing on a high pace. B-Ware Research Centre and Radboud University Nijmegen developed a novel biocascade …

Floating wetland treatment systems (FWTS) are an innovative stormwater treatment technology currently being trialled on a larger scale in Australia. FWTS provide support for selected plant species to remove pollutants from stormwater discharged into a water body. The plant roots provide large surface …

The need of an adaptive sustainable solution for the increased land scarcity, growing urbanization, climate change and flood risks resulted in the concept of the floating urbanization. In The Netherlands this new type of housing attracted the interest of local authorities, municipalities and water boards. …
