The Institute of Environmental Sciences has carried out and participates in several projects that deal with the analysis of energy systems.

De afdeling richt zich op het verbeteren van het wetenschappelijk begrip in de relatie tussen mens en natuur. Hoe beïnvloedt menselijk handelen (via bijvoorbeeld klimaatverandering, landgebruiksverandering en de emissie van mogelijk toxische verbindingen) de natuur in het algemeen en de biodiversiteit…

The majority (80%) of e-waste generated globally are recycled informally in developing countries.

De afdeling Environmental Biology (CML-EB) houdt zich bezig met vraagstukken rondom biodiversiteit en natuurlijke hulpbronnen op het platteland in westerse en niet-westerse gebieden.

What performance criteria does a new technology have to fulfill in order to be added to the list of future energy options and what constraints exist in terms of broad market penetration?

CREEA is a FP7 project on compiling and refining environmental and economic accounts. The project runs from April 2011 to March 2014.

Co-ordination Action for Innovation in Life-Cycle Analysis for Sustainability: deepening, broadening and leaping forward the LCA methodology.

Promotor: Prof.dr. B. van de Water

Acidobacteria is a widely distributed phylum but their functional roles in ecosystem processes are still largely elusive.

D2.2 comprises the in-depth legal analysis of the initial heuristic model, focused on addressing, in more detail, the main legal concerns for data reusers in the European data economy. This detailed analysis of the legal propositions presented in D2.1 is supplemented by an analysis of the technological,…

In meta-analysis, heterogeneity often exists between studies. In such cases, it is essential to investigate the sources of heterogeneity and understand the relationship between effect size and study characteristics (i.e., moderators).

D1.2 reports on the findings of an analysis of framework conditions relevant in the context of the data economy from a legal, a socio-economic and a technological perspective. The analysis is a key foundation for the creation of an initial, heuristic model of the European data economy. The deliverable…

We have studied shape with a particular focus on the zebrafish model system. The shape is an essential appearance of the phenotype of a biological specimen and it can be used to read out a current state or response or to study gene expression.
