Vulnerability of Human Population Health to Climate Change: state-of-knowledge and future research directions
Health effects of global climate change may include an increase in: heat-related mortality and morbidity, infectious diseases, particularly those that are vector-borne, and malnutrition and…
RS-Land cover based environmental monitoring in Europe. Progress report on the applicability of NOAA-AVHRR 1-km data for small scale land cover mapping. Final report part 1
The main objective of the study was to find out whether the multi-spectral and multi-temporal classification of AVHRR satelite data could lead to an operational method to establish a 1-km pan-European…
Modelling gas-phase and heterogeneous conversions of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust plume of an aircraft ; A parameterization for global models
The gas-phase and heterogeneous chemical conversion of nitrogen compounds occurring in the plume of an aircraft in the first two days after emission were investigated with a newly developed aircraft…
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…
Long-range Atmospheric Transport of Persistent Organic Pollutants, I: Description of surface-atmosphere exchange modules and implementation in EUROS
Concerns a description of a model for the exchange of gaseous Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) at land and sea surfaces and its application in the Eulerian air pollution transport model EUROS.
The Urban Air Quality Assessment Model (UAQAM) calculates the city concentration caused by city emissions themselves, the so-called city background concentration. Three versions of the model for…
Evaluation of the Netherlands Groundwater Model, LGM, for calculating pathlines, travel times and concentration at abstraction wells
The merits of the quasi-three-dimensional RIVM groundwater model, LGM (version 2) were evaluated for the calculation of pathlines, travel times and solute breakthrough curves at abstraction wells. The…
Documentation of the five submodels of Targets/IMage Energy (TIME) 1.0 model are presented. Energy Demand, Liquid Fuel (LF), Gaseous Fuel (GF), Solid Fuel (SF) and Electric Power Generation (EPG) are…
Scenarios for economy and environment in Central and Eastern Europe
In 1993 an integrated assessment of the economic scenarios of Central and Eastern European countries, as developed by the World Bank, was carried out, primarily for emissions, deposition and…
Background and purpose: This report on fertility change in India presents the results of a project on integrated population modelling initiated by the National Institute of Public Health and…
