Seagrass meadows hold significant value for local coastal communities and many different organisms by providing essential ecosystem services. However, due to anthropogenic stressors (e.g. coastal development, eutrophication etc.) seagrass meadows have been declining rapidly worldwide. In Lake Grevelingen …

Advances in low-altitude remote sensing are needed to improve the effectiveness of archaeological prospection in the Netherlands. The geomorphological situation and land use history make applying various remote sensing and geophysical technologies particularly challenging. Technologies developed for …

In the face of increasingly complex societal challenges, the field of social design is being called upon to deepen its ability to create long-term, systemic impact.
