Analysis of metals and calorific value in components from household waste, 1988-1992 (including the results from 1986 and 1987)
The National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection (RIVM) analyses over a long period the physical composition of household refuse in the Netherlands. Since 1986 a start was made…
Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands. Methodology and data for 1993 and provisional data for 1994
This report was written at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Physical Planning and Environment to comply with the European Unions Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism (Council Decision 93…
A Framework for the Assessment of the Global Potential of Joint Implementation
Joint Implementation (JI) is a means for reaching cheaper solutions to CO 2 emission reductions. The global potential for JI is defined as the portion of the necessary regional CO 2 emission…
Modelling Regional Energy Use for Evaluating Global Climate Scenarios
The Energy-Economy model presented in this report is a submodel of the integrated IMAGE 2.1 model (Integrated Model for Analyzing Greenhouse Effects). The Energy-Economy submodel computes total energy…
Modelling global biogeochemical cycles; an integrated assessment approach
Global biogeochemical cycles describe the transformation and movement of chemical substances in the global environment. Disturbances in these global biogeochemical cycles, in particular the cycles of…
Scenario study of the effects of CFC, HCFC and HFC emissions on stratospheric ozone
It is widely accepted that anthropogenic emissions of chlorine and bromine species are responsible for the major part of the destruction of the ozone layer in the last two decades. The future…
Modelling the effect of global warming on the prevalence of schistosomiasis
One of the potential health consequences of global warming is a (re-)introduction of vector-borne diseases into certain regions which may, or may not have been, previously endemic. In most tropical…
AQUA: A framework for integrated water policy analysis
In order to design water policy as part of a strategy for sustainable development, an insight into the dynamics of the water system is necessary but not sufficient. It is hypothesized that…
HEATHSOL: sensitivity/uncertainty analysis and validation
A sensitivity analysis, a restricted uncertainty analysis and a validation of a model describing competition between a heather and grass species (HEATHSOL), was carried out.
