Human impact on aeolian sediment transport on a beach
The Nature Based Solutions the Sand Engine (NBS) near Den Hague aims to maintain the coastal safety by functioning as a sediment source for wind and water erosion. The sediment transported by wind is needed to maintain the current ...

Mitigating soil degradation and water contamination after wildfires
Forest fires are a recurring problem in Mediterranean regions, and increasingly occurring in northern Europe. Burnt areas are highly susceptible to soil erosion and ash exports, with associated organic and metal contaminants which ...

Fresh groundwater lenses (FGL) below atoll islands in the Pacific Ocean
Project Description
The small island developing states (SIDS) are the first to be hit seriously by sea level rise and climate change. Besides increased flooding and coastal erosion, freshwater lenses below islands will shrink and ...

Microplastic detection in soils using spectroscopy and chemometrics
Project Description
Microplastics are emerging pollutants that pose an environmental threat. New questions are arising about their impact in aquatic and continental environments. However, research has been jeopardized by the lack ...

Isolation of plastic-lasas or enzymes that can decay oil-based plastics.
Project
Project Description
Light density Polyethylene is one of the oil-based plastics widely distributed. And due to the mismanagement of the residues of this plastic. It is possible to find light density polyethylene microplastics in ...

Investigating Carbon fluxes with time since wildfire
Wildfires affect forest carbon pools directly, through combustion/heating processes, and indirectly, by changing abiotic (e.g. soil temperature) and biotic (e.g. leaf area index) conditions. The indirect impacts appear to be impor ...

Post-fire wind erosion in the coastal zone of north-central Portugal
As widely known, 2017 was a particularly dramatic year in Portugal in terms of fatalities by wildfires. Also the total area burnt was exceptional in 2017, well-exceeding those of the record years of 2003 and 2005. This included a ...
