16. A Passive Sampling System for Monitoring Metals in the Aquatic Environment
Abstract : Water monitoring is undertaken routinely as a requirement of water quality legislation. It is usual that water monitoring is undertaken through spot sampling. A passive sampling system has been developed for the aquatic environment that provides time-averaged (integrated) concentrations for metals. READ MORE

17. Global Phosphorus supply chain dynamics: Sustainability implications for the 21st century
Abstract : Phosphorus is an essential yet irreplaceable macronutrient for agriculture and thus plays a key role in global food security. Most of the phosphate fertilizers are produced from phosphate rock, a finite mineral resource that is mined and processed at great environmental and social costs. READ MORE

18. On the exposure assessment of engineered nanoparticles in aquatic environments
Abstract : The socio-economic benefits anticipated with the use and production of nanomaterial and nanoparticles in consumer products are linked to the fulfillment of the requirement for sustainability during the whole material life cycle. Engineered nanoparticles (ENP) can be of environmental concern, both due to the possible hazardous effects but also due to the differences in properties compared to regular chemicals, e. READ MORE

19. To leak or not to leak? : Land‐Use Displacement and Carbon Leakage from Forest Conservation
Abstract : This thesis investigates the question how emissions from land‐use displacement can be assessed and accounted for, using the example of carbon‐leakage accounting in the planned UNFCCC mechanism on ‘Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation’ (REDD). REDD serves here as example of an international forest conservation policy that might be effective locally but could lead to displacement of deforestation to other countries. READ MORE

20. Large-Scale Multi-Source Satellite Data for Wildfire Detection and Assessment Using Deep Learning
Abstract : Earth Observation (EO) satellites have great potential in wildfire detection and assessment at fine spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions. For a long time, satellite data have been employed to systematically monitor wildfire dynamics and assess wildfire impacts, including (i) to detect the location of actively burning spots, (ii) to map the spatial extent of the burn scars, (iii) to assess the wildfire damage levels.
