In this research, geographers and biologists work together to investigate the present status and future potential for peat compaction and oxidation, in the...
This project explores the gaps amongst actual government’s policies and suggests that there is a need to involve multi stakeholders – local governments,...
To investigate how delta drowning can be prevented we investigate water flow and sediment processes and establish scenarios of for future delta development...
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...
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...
This project focused on understanding and predicting the distribution of freshwater and suspended sediment over the Berau river and the estuarine channel...
This research programme aims to enhance the capabilities of individuals and organisations to develop sustainable strategies for dealing with groundwater...
The Delta Evolution research programme focuses on the evolution of river systems and deltaic areas, including the near-coastal zones, over timescales...
This research focuses on the urgent problem of long-term planning in highly dynamic deltas under deep uncertainty.
As in other modern deltas, the rich natural resources of the Usumacinta-Grijalva delta, Mexico have significantly contributed to the rapid advent of human...
In this project, we develop a generic method to characterise, map in space and time, and digitally share the physical properties of Holocene (...
This project quantifies the amount of subsidence as a result of soil oxidation, which is a main contributor to total subsidence. Such information supports...
We aim to unravel the direct and indirect effects of nutrient loading on heterotrophic microbial activity in mangrove soils and the resulting changes on...
This research quantified the effects of climate change on peat oxidation rates in peat soils in The Netherlands. Decomposition rates of different peat types...
In this collaborative project we unravelled the main short-term effects of changes in temperature and precipitation on riparian wetland diversity and...
In this project vegetation development is studied over the colonization process from seed deposition, germination, seedling survival and establishment...
In 1970 the Haringvliet was closed off and tides no longer enter the Rhine-Meuse delta from this side. We study how tides and river flow respond to the...
The aim is to test the potential of paleoenvironmental records to help setting targets for water quality standards and nutrient management in delta-...
The objectives of this pilot project is to build a database of earth observation images available (satellite imagery/aerial photos), to co-register the...
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...
This research project aims to analyze and assess the land and groundwater governance arrangements related to land subsidence in the Yangtze Delta in general...
Our overall objective is to establish a science-based fundamental research agenda for long-term, sustainable management of the Rhine-Meuse delta.
