Creating information portals for support of European environmental policy.

Materials balances have been used in the recent past for the analysis of substance oriented environmental problems and the formulation of measures for environmental policy. In this study an integrated tool, based on the materials balance principle, has been developed for the analysis of both environmental…

Kijk regelmatig op deze pagina voor meer informatie over het inpassen van duurzaamheid in het onderwijs van de Universiteit Leiden.

In het onderwijs bieden wij alle studenten de mogelijkheid om kennis te maken met duurzaamheidsthema’s en –vraagstukken, waar mogelijk aansluitend bij de inhoud van hun opleiding.

International trade has played a major role in defining the modern global economy. Trade, however, entangles the environmental pressures of economic sectors, giving the illusion of environmental improvements, while the opposite may be occurring.

Een uitgebreid overzicht van software en data beschikbaar gesteld door de afdeling Environmental Biology is beschikbaar op de Engelse versie van de CML-website

Indicators to measure progress in de-linking economic growth and environmental pressure.

What is the environmental impact, the human health impact and the life cycle and production costs of the lab, pilot and commercial diffusion of nanowires and nanowire-based photovoltaic technologies?

Bacteria often experience external challenges, such as changes in environmental conditions or attacks by bacteriophages.

Celebrating 20 years of environmental research in Cagayan Valley and Sierra Madre

Het wemelt van de voetafdrukken die de druk van de mens op het milieu berekenen. Milieukundige Kai Fang is de eerste die een voetafdrukfamilie ontwikkelde waardoor milieuschade en uitputting van hulpbronnen beter gemeten kan worden. Promotie 24 november.

Material outflows from industrial economies.

As a non-invasive genetic method, eDNA based approaches have become an important component of ecologists' and environmental managers' toolkits for biomonitoring in conservation and an increasingly important source of ecological knowledge.

De Universiteit Leiden en de gemeente Den Haag tekenden op 1 november een samenwerkingsovereenkomst op het gebied van duurzaamheid. Voornaamste doelen van de samenwerking zijn het opbouwen van een netwerk, kennis delen en het verkennen van mogelijkheden voor een Haags Klimaatcentrum voor inwoners.

Welkom op de LUGO evenementen pagina. Hier kun je zowel de afgelopen als de aankomende evenementen van LUGO zien.

Development of an aggregated impact indicator to measure decoupling.

Description of Biotic ligand models: making an inventory of available models & assessment of the variability of the predicted HC5 using the BLMs in different Dutch water types (2005 - 2007)

What are the life-cycle environmental impacts and risks to human health and ecosystems of a III-V/Si PV system? How can these be expected to change when the system is deployed at industrial scale? What are the most favourable recycling scenarios?

The progressive loss and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is a major pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). The onset and progression of PD can be triggered by multiple risk factors, for instance, genetic mutation, environmental exposure, and aging.

The use of N fertilizers has increased worldwide in the past century. While this increased input of N has increased food productivity, it has also contributed to decreases in biodiversity, soil quality and environmental health, including increases in greenhouse gas emissions.

Bacteria are highly complex and diverse organisms that have adapted to survive in ecological niches ranging from the most extreme to the most heterogeneous environments.

Plant diversity is essential for us and our planet as it sustains the stability of our ecosystems, provides vital materials and food to us and supports many ecosystem services.

Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations between soil fungi and most plant species.

An account of the total of material flows going in, out and through Amsterdam.

The power of personalized nutrition lies in being able to conduct clinical research on healthy people while capturing metabolic markers sensitive to the impact of environmental and metabolic stressors (e.g. diet, changing sex hormones and the menstrual cycle).

In this thesis unconventional tools based on fluidic interfaces were developed to study the surface and interfacial chemistry of graphene, to characterize the intrinsic properties of graphene, to disentangle the effects of substrate and of the environmental factors, and to improve handling protocols…

Marine sponges are important members of reef ecosystems, as they play ecological roles that are essential for the health of the reef.

A new environmental accounting framework using externality data and input-output tools for policy analysis.

In this PhD study, I aim to deepen our understanding of the influence of major mycorrhizal types, namely arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) and ectomycorrhizae (EM), on the global soil carbon cycle and their potential distribution changes under future environmental shifts.

Celebrating 20 years of Environmental Research and Education in Northern Cameroon

Security and safety challenges rank among the most pressing issues of modern times. Challenges such as cyber-crime, terrorism, and environmental disasters impact the lives of millions across the globe. The course will introduce you to this broad theme in an increasingly complex world.

Handen uit de mouwen voor duurzaamheid! Dat doen medewerkers en studenten op verschillende manieren, thuis en op de universiteit.

Wetland plants are distinguished from plants of other terrestrial ecosystems by their adaptations to specific habitat stresses, including waterlogged and flooding and the subsequent abundance of phytotoxic compounds.
