Projects Predicting impacts
A future higher risk of severe flooding of streams and rivers has been projected to change riparian plant communities, but the extent and direction of change remain uncertain.
This project focuses on understanding and predicting the distribution of freshwater and suspended sediment over the Berau river and the estuarine channel network.
This project explores the gaps amongst actual government’s policies and suggests that there is a need to involve multi stakeholders on dealing with land subsidence problems to achieve effective governance.
A global land subsidence map is crucial to raise global awareness of land subsidence, as land subsidence causes extensive damage
To investigate how delta drowning can be prevented we investigate water flow and sediment processes and establish scenarios of for future delta development an ideal trial area.
The project aims to determine a system of multiscale ecotope classes that can be linked to ecosystem services of river floodplains, and can be monitored using remote sensing data.
In this project we study why the ebb-tidal deltas of the Dutch Wadden Sea are shrinking, where the sediment is going to and how the delta will respond to a large-scale sand nourishment.
We will produce a position paper that combines knowledge and experience across a range of different disciplines to analyze the impacts of global change and opportunities for the future for ecosystem services in deltas.
