Satellite Radar Interferometry
This book investigates the applicability of satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) for deformation monitoring. The presented methodologies are demonstrated in an integrated way for the entire northern part of the Netherlands and a part of Germany.
Underground Storage of CO2 and Energy
Of the known greenhouse gases, political attention to date has primarily focused on carbon dioxide (CO2), whereby it is assumed that underground storages of crude oil and natural gas through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology could contribute significantly to global climate protection. Underground Storage of CO2 and Energy covers many aspe
Bodemdaling langs de Nederlandse kust
Bodemdaling langs de Nederlandse kust geeft laatste stand van zaken weer wat betreft de lokale bovenmatige bodembeweging. De bijdragen van de auteurs in het kader van de quick scan in 2005 zijn over het algemeen beknopter dan die van latere analyses die in dit boek zijn gepubliceerd. Dit werk eindigt met conclusies en aanbevelingen, zoals die tijdens de workshop in 2005 zijn besproken en gerapporteerd aan de autoriteiten. De belangrijkste bevindingen zijn dat langs de kust lokaal bodemdaling voorkomt van enkele decimeters per eeuw; voor zachte kusten heeft dat geen invloed op de veiligheid, aa.
The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeed...
Remote Sensing of Coastal Aquatic Environments
This book provides extensive insight on remote sensing of coastal waters from aircraft and space-based platforms. The primary focus of the book is optical remote sensing using passive instruments, to measure and analyze the coastal aquatic environment. The authors have gathered information from a variety of sources, to help non-specialists grasp new techniques and technology, to quickly produce useful data
Conserving Land, Protecting Water
The degradation of land and water resources as a result of agricultural activity has had an enormous impact on human societies and economies. It is predicted that, by 2025, most developing countries will face physical or economic water scarcity, compounded by land degradation. In order to alleviate this problem, an advanced understanding of the state of our water resources and the relationships between land use, water management and social systems is needed. Conserving Land, Protecting Water includes an overview of global patterns of land and water degradation and discusses new insights drawn from successful case studies on reversing soil and water degradation and their impact on food and environmental security.
Understanding the Human Factor of the Energy Transition: Mechanisms Underlying Energy-Relevant Decisions and Behaviors
An increasing number of countries are shifting toward sustainable energy economies, emphasizing the use of renewable energy sources, increases in energy efficiency and the abatement of greenhouse gas emissions. The success of such an energy transition will depend not only on the development of new energy technologies, but also on major changes in the patterns of individual energy-related decisions and behaviors resulting in substantial reductions in energy demand. Consequently, the behavioral sciences can make important contributions to the energy transition by increasing our understanding of the multiple factors and mechanisms that underlie individual as well as group-based decisions and be...
