Since the early seventies a variety of stringent measures have been taken by (international) governments to reduce the risks posed by the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the…
Scenario Studies on Effects of Methane Emissions Using a 3D Tropospheric Model
The 3 D global tropospheric model MOGUNTIA was used in a 25-year scenario study to analyse the effects of increasing methane emissions on the oxidising capacity of the atmosphere and methane's…
Description of the RIVM 2-dimensional stratosphere model
For performing assessment studies on the stratosphere and studying the influence of changes in the stratosphere on the troposphere and climate, the Air Research Laboratory of the RIVM has recently…
EDACS: European Deposition maps of Acidifying Components on a Small scale. Model description and preliminary results
Describing the effects of acidification on the level of ecosystems, the acid deposition should be available at the scale of ecosystems or at scales which allow for comparison with critical loads…
Uncertainty in Integrated Assessment Modelling. A Cultural Perspective Based Approach

Modelling of soil emissions of nitrous oxide for global studies
A global inventory with 1 degree time 1 degree resolution was compiled of nitrous oxide (N 2O) emissions to the atmosphere, including emissions from soils under natural vegetation, fertilized…
The objective of this study was to map the grass cover in Dutch heathland nature reserves using Landsat-TM satellite imagery. The grass cover data will be used to initialize the HEATHSOL-model. This…
