With this Adaptation wheel four policy sectors (nature, agriculture, water and spatial planning) in the official Dutch institutional context are evaluated. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10765212 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:24:24 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project IC12 It is widely recognised that projections of social and economic futures are circumscribed by irreducible uncertainties and ignorance. A common analytical response is to develop scenarios that map a range of alternative possible outcomes. The application of scenarios in climate assessments in the Netherlands was investigated in this report, focusing on the use of the socio-economic scenarios ‘Welvaart en Leefomgeving’ (WLO – The Future of the Dutch Built Environment). /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10765173 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:22:42 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project IC11 The report describes a frame-based approach to communication and decision-making on climate change. Building on the multidisciplinary literature on the relationship between frames and decisionmaking, decision makers may gain from making frames more explicit and using them for generating different visions about the central issues. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10765157 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:58:51 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project IC10 Digitization of data sources of long time series of meteorological variables and the resulting datasets play an important role in the infrastructural planning of the Netherlands and form the basis for studies into climate change and its consequences. For instance, the design standards of river dikes, drainage and sewerage systems are to a large extent determinded by the occurrence of extreme meteorological events in the past. The data sources are checked for quality and are freely available via the Internet. Several examples of applications are presented. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10765146 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:33:12 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project CS08 Central theme in this report is the impact of remote influences on the climate in the Netherlands with a focus on extreme events. A number of topics are addressed that are relevant for the construction of climate scenarios for the Netherlands. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10765117 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:32:59 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project CS05 The climate system is complex. Although it is understood in qualitative terms, there are still many physical processes of which the impact on climate change is far from quantifiable. A well-known example of such a process is the interaction between cloud and rainfall formation, aerosols, radiation and the land-atmosphere energy exchange. The project aimed at the development of the required observation methodologies to study these processes. The capacitiy of the CESAR Observatory was explored, in order to make it one of the leading atmospheric observatories in the world. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10764795 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:10:13 GMT CcSP, project CS02 Parallel to the development of the KNMI’06 climate scenarios in 2006, a tool was developed to generate temperature and precipitation time series for the future. These time series are often needed for climate impact and adaptation models. The aim of this time series transformation tool is to alter a daily historical time series of precipitation or temperature in a way that corresponds to one of the four KNMI’06 climate change scenarios for a selected time horizon. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10764794 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:52:12 GMT CcSP, project COM28 Knowledge about the effects of climate change on the economy is of great importance for national and international authorities because these effects may be far-reaching. One of the sectors that are expected to be sensitive to climate change is the transport sector (freight and passengers). /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10770351 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:29:55 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project A08 A comprehensive measuring effort on the North Sea shows that the climate changes in the form of a change in the prevailing wind direction, an increase in wind speed, an increase of the seawater temperature, not only leads to a change of the composition of the seawater, but also to a limited reduction in the productivity of filter-feeders at the searfloor. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10770350 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:03:48 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project A06 A critical condition towards developing appropriate adaptation measures to deal with climate change is to have reliable estimates of vegetation composition and its functional diversity under various climate change scenarios. Current approaches suffer from several drawbacks that hamper such predictions. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10770051 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 16:13:36 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project A01 In this project the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, was studied, especially focusing on the interaction with habitat fragmentation. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10770344 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:29:27 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project A02 More accurate simulation of the energy and water balance near the earth surface is important to improve the performance of regional climate models. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10770369 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 11:41:07 GMT Climate changes Spatial Planning, project CS03 Fundamental climate research on the role of the ocean for the West European climate was carried out.
