Consumer Behaviour, a modelling perspective in the context of integrated assessment of global change
Human consumption of products and services is a major factor in the process of global change. So far, integrated assessment models (e.g., TARGETS) implicitly incorporate the behaviour of consumers…
GLOBETOX Modelling the global fate of micropollutants
The technical details of GlobeTox, an environmental fate model for toxic substances, have been described. GlobeTox is designed to function as a toxic substances module in the integrated assessment…
A database of methane concentrations as measured in the Netherlands and Europe
In order to increase our knowledge of methane emissions on a small scale the project 'Sources, regional scaling and validation of CH 4 emissions from the Netherlands and Northwest Europe' is carried…
Interactions of nutrients and toxicants in the foodchain of aquatic ecosystems
Proceedings of a workshop organised in response to a request of the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment by the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment. To discuss…
A Hundred Year (1890 - 1990) Database for Integrated Environmental Assessments (HYDE, version 1.1)
Testing against historical data is an important step in the validation of simulation models. Because of their wide scope and coverage, global change models require a large amount of data for testing…
Ordination of the integrated monitoring data gathered under auspices of ICP-IM, UN-ECE Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution: 1989-1994
This report contains a limited number of exploratory multi-variate statistical gradient analyses of cause effect relationships in the data which are gathered in the framework of the International Co…
Effect of greenhouse gas emissions on stratospheric ozone depletion
The depletion of the ozone layer is caused mainly by the increase in emissions of chlorine- and bromine-containing compounds like CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and methyl…
The Future of the Global Environment: A Model-based Analysis Supporting UNEP's First Global Environment Outlook
This report documents the scenario analysis in UNEP's first Global Environment Outlook, published at the same time as the scenario analysis. This Outlook provides a pilot assessment of developments in…
Description of EDGAR Version 2.0: A set of global emission inventories of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances for all anthropogenic and most natural sources on a per country basis and on 1 degree x 1 degree grid
A global emission source database called EDGAR (Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research) has been developed jointly by TNO and RIVM to meet the needs of policy-makers and of atmospheric…
Global energy futures: An integrated perspective with the TIME-model
In a previous report the five submodels of the energy model were described in detail. Here, a number of applications with the (stand-alone) TIME model are presented. In this report the calibration of…
