How can ecosystem services within river catchments be quantified in spatial and temporal explicit way?

Do e-waste workers display enhanced effects of adverse health effects due to informal e-waste processing in Nigeria? Is there a difference between the health outcomes of the exposed and the control groups? Are there difference in health effects within and between job groups (collectors, dismantlers,…

Landen die plastic afval importeren, recyclen daarvan gemiddeld minstens 63 procent. Terwijl we dachten dat het overgrote deel werd verbrand of eindigde als zwerfvuil. Dat ontdekte promovendus Kai Li met collega’s van het Centrum voor Milieuwetenschappen Leiden.

The International Health Regulations are a set of binding rules which organise the global response to viral outbreaks and other similar transboundary risks to public health.

Assessing the risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) solely on the basis of experimental assays is time-consuming, resource intensive, and constrained by ethical considerations (such as the principles of the 3Rs of animal testing). The adoption of computational toxicology in this field is a high p…

Today, knowledge is the most crucial element to stimulate organizational competitiveness and economic development.

Onderzoeksproject 'QUAD'

Het onderzoek van de afdeling Economie is ondergebracht bij meerdere facultaire programma's. Het onderzoek van de afdeling richt zich thans met name op sociaal-economische vraagstukken, rechtseconomie en fiscale economie.

Het kabinet kampt door de stijgende energieprijzen en steeds duurdere boodschappen met grote uitdagingen. Volgens hoogleraar Henk te Velde staan we daarmee aan het begin van een geheel nieuwe politieke situatie, zo vertelt hij in ‘NOS Met het Oog op Morgen’.

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.

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

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 scenario building web-tool and knowledge package to enable multi-level decision making for the transition to the Circular Economy

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.

How does the management of Elephant Marsh Fishery in Malawi relate to wider contexts of policies, theories and regions? And how can the current management system be adapted to achieve long-term sustainability of the fishery?

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.

In this course, you will learn about sustainability and staying with the environmental boundaries of our planet. You will gain an understanding of the effects of growing affluence and population growth, the key challenges we are facing, and ways to influence your direct environment.

Op vrijdag 8 november 2019, hield Ron Keller, voormalig ambassadeur van Nederland in China, Turkije, Oekraïne en Rusland, een gastcollege bij het Institute of Security and Global Affairs.
