REFRESH Adaptive Strategies to Mitigate the Impacts of Climate Change on European Freshwater Ecosystems

Understanding how freshwater ecosystems will respond to future climate change is essential for the development of policies and strategies to protect aquatic and riparian ecosystems. Deltares participates in a European research project to develop the…

Sustainable Soil Upgrading by Developing Cost-effective, Biogeochemical Remediation Approaches

Over the last two decades, the advances made in in-situ remediation have mainly originated from an engineering perspective, focusing on the intended interaction between remedial agents and contaminants. However, any remediation treatment also affects the “natural” soil conditions. These…

SCENES, Waterscenario’s for Europe and Neighbouring States

Deltares participated in the EU funded SCENES project. This project developed and analysed a set of comprehensive scenarios of Europe’s freshwater futures up to 2025. It covers all of Greater Europe reaching to the Caucasus…

Micore

The project was specifically targeted to contribute to the development of a probabilistic mapping of the morphological impact of marine storms and to the production of early warning and information systems to support long-term disaster reduction….

MESMA: Monitoring and Evaluation of Spatially Managed Areas

The increasing pressures upon the marine realm call for a well planned approach of further spatial development of this area. An ecosystem-based approach to fisheries, the increasing demand for sustainable energy, coastal defence systems, building…

KnowSeas: Knowledge-based sustainable management for Europe’s seas

Europe’s four regional seas (Baltic, Black, Mediterranean and NE Atlantic) have suffered severe environmental degradation due to human pressure. Existing measures to manage pressures have proven inadequate and the EC has responded by proposing a…

GLOWASIS: providing access to water scarcity data

The main objective of the proposed project GLOWASIS was to pre-validate a GMES Global Service for Water Scarcity Information. In European and global pilots on the scale of river catchments, it has combined in-situ and satellite derived…

CoBIOS:Coastal Biomass Observatory Services

The CoBiOS project aimed at integrating satellite products and ecological models into a really operational and user-relevant information service on high biomass blooms in Europe’s coastal waters. To this end CoBiOS has produced a harmonized and validated water…

AMICE: Adaption of the Meuse to the Impacts of Climate Evolutions

AMICE is all about making friends with the Meuse and helping the river to adjust to climate change. We want the Meuse to become the very best example of a climate-proof river but one that…

Understanding of the different current and potential future pressures and vectors of change in the marine environment

Delft3D 4 Suite (structured)

The VECTORS project brings together the understanding of the different current and potential future pressures and vectors of change in the marine environment, in order to better understand the mechanisms of changes in marine life…
