Regional costs and benefits of alternative post-Kyoto climate regimes: Comparison of variants of the Multi-stage and Per Capita Convergence regimes
This study explores technical, economic and environmental implications of different post-Kyoto climate regimes for differentiation of future commitments that would lead to a stabilisation of…
The GeoPEARL model. Description, applications and manual
The GeoPEARL model presented here is a spatially distributed model describing the fate of pesticides in the soil-plant system. The model calculates the drainage of pesticides into local surface waters…
Development of an environmental indicator which can be used on national and regional scales for evaluating pesticide emissions in The Netherlands
As part of the new governmental program on pesticides the Dutch ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management & Fisheries and the ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning & the Environment have jointly…
Comparison of GeoPEARL with the single scenario approach in pesticide registration
Several countries use one or a few scenarios to evaluate the leaching of pesticides. This, however, can be too strict for some substances while being too lenient for others, because of the wide ranges…
Nationwide assessments of non-point source pollution with field-scale developed models: the pesticide case
The use of nationwide models of non-point source pollutants in soils is now common practice. Most of these models have originally been developed at the field-scale. An integrated approach (a ‘research…
Methodological approach for evaluating first tier PEC groundwater scenarios supporting the prediction of environmental concentrations of pesticides at the European scale
Within the framework of the harmonised registration of plant protection products (PPPs) at the EU-scale, environmental fate models are nowadays combined with a series of scenarios to predict the…
Effective approaches for predicting environmental concentrations of pesticides: the APECOP project
Environmental fate modelling is now actively used for the registration of plant protection products (PPPs). Yet, to be efficient in a harmonized registration process, the quality of PEC modelling…
Dynamic modelling of surface waters: impact of emission reduction-possibilities and limitations
Dynamic models provide an extension to critical loads by predicting the timescale of chemical recovery to emission reductions. They can also be used to determine the deposition levels required to…
Great transition: the promise and lure of the times ahead
