In a publication in Landscape Ecology we present a spatial planning approach for the implementation of adaptation measures to climate change in conservation planning for ecological networks…

This document describes the requirements and guidelines for the software of the IMAGE system. The motivation for this report was a substantial restructuring of the source code for IMAGE version 2.5…

This user manual contains the basic information for running the simulation model IMAGE ("Integrated Model to Assess the Global Environment") of PBL. The motivation for this report was a substantial…

Technical background report on the upgrade of the simple climate model MAGICC within the IMAGE model ("Integrated Model to Assess the Global Environment") of PBL.

This paper presents a tool for long term global change studies; it is an update of the History Database of the Global Environment (HYDE) with estimates of some of the underlying demographic and…

The aim was to map and characterize anthropogenic transformation of the terrestrial biosphere before and during the Industrial Revolution, from 1700 to 2000.

Hypothetical reductions in future emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and N 2O are evaluated in terms of effects on equivalent effective stratospheric chlorine (EESC), globally-averaged…

The phosphorus (P) cycle has been significantly altered by human activities. For this paper, we explored the sustainability of current P flows in terms of resource depletion and the ultimate fate of…

A high probability of limiting temperature increase to 2 °C requires a radiative forcing below 3 W/m², around the end of this century, according to current knowledge. This paper identifies conditions…
