Due to growing power consumption and the energy transition, installation of high-voltage underground cables (HVUC) is becoming increasingly crucial for increasing transmission capacity while minimising societal and environmental disruption. This thesis, completed in a professional setting at Witteveen+Bos, …

Bij het ontwerpen van funderingen met de software Technosoft, kan een sondering worden geïnterpreteerd tot een bodemprofiel met verschillende grondsoorten.

The success of the energy transition will depend not only on the rapid deployment of zeroemission technologies, but also on the expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen. Equally important is meaningful engagement with the communities affected by this transition. Despite …

Permeable pavements are implemented at more than thousand locations enabling rainfall infiltration and evapotranspiration of stormwater in The Netherlands. However, the efficiency has not been extensively tested. Therefore, research is conducted using a full-scale infiltration test (FSIT) method to measure …

Abstract. The accelerating energy transition requires a well-trained workforce capable of im-plementing innovative building technologies and renewable energy systems. However, em-ployees in the construction and HVAC installation sectors often lack access to up-to-date train-ing due to high workloads, …

This article focusses on the rise of agrogeological soil science in the early 20th century, especially in a Dutch-imperial context, as generating a novel geobiopolitical epistemology for the governance of natural and social worlds. Specifically, this article seeks to understand the consequences of agrogeologists’ …

Recent debates in rural development suggest a growing interest in integrating landscape-based knowledge into participatory decision-making. This study contributes to this discussion by examining how landscape—understood as the interplay between human actions, natural processes, and soil systems—can be …

From the late 1930s to today, the technological lure of hydroponics has inspired many geopolitical imaginations of planetary transformation. Hydroponics, or soilless farming, refers to a bundle of technologies to raise crops outside of arable land, using nutrient solutions in water, sand or gravel media. …

The Amazon Basin contains some of the most biodiverse tropical forests on Earth, yet floodplain forests, despite their ecological importance, remain understudied at fine spatial scales. Rapid anthropogenic disturbances such as illegal gold mining, selective logging, and forest clearing in the Madre de …
