The major source of uncertainty in sea-level rise stems from limited understanding of the melt of the Antarctic ice sheet. Different existing models that quantify ice shelf melt from ocean temperatures are compared.
Plastic is an overwhelming issue, which is why the Precious Plastic project is approaching it from one angle, addressing one specific but significant stream.
The acceleration rate of sea-level rise will be an impeccable indicator of sea level threats along the vulnerable coasts over the 21st century. We investigated the main drivers.
Deltas have historically been the focus of human development. Some deltas became locked-in, too costly to return to natural states. Researchers conducted a historical analysis on anthropogenic pressures over the past 300 years over 48 deltas world-wide.
[interview] What does research data management mean in a researcher's practice? In this interview, social scientist Laura Boeschoten shares how the Research Engineering team helped her develop an algorithm to anonymize social media data.
Scientists are less willing to cooperate with companies in their research. They prefer to do research together with fellow scientists. A study by Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ and the Rathenau Institute has shown this.
Five projects from Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ have received funding from the so-called National Science Agenda. The Utrecht led consortia receive a total 24.8 million.
Researchers from, among others, Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ, (HU) and the RIVM are developing a Virtual Human Platform to assess the safety of chemicals and medicines without the use of laboratory animals.
