The International Health Regulations are a set of binding rules which organise the global response to viral outbreaks and other similar transboundary risks to public health.

Development of an aggregated impact indicator to measure decoupling.

Description of Biotic ligand models: making an inventory of available models & assessment of the variability of the predicted HC5 using the BLMs in different Dutch water types (2005 - 2007)

What are the life-cycle environmental impacts and risks to human health and ecosystems of a III-V/Si PV system? How can these be expected to change when the system is deployed at industrial scale? What are the most favourable recycling scenarios?

The progressive loss and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is a major pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). The onset and progression of PD can be triggered by multiple risk factors, for instance, genetic mutation, environmental exposure, and aging.

The use of N fertilizers has increased worldwide in the past century. While this increased input of N has increased food productivity, it has also contributed to decreases in biodiversity, soil quality and environmental health, including increases in greenhouse gas emissions.

Bacteria are highly complex and diverse organisms that have adapted to survive in ecological niches ranging from the most extreme to the most heterogeneous environments.

Plant diversity is essential for us and our planet as it sustains the stability of our ecosystems, provides vital materials and food to us and supports many ecosystem services.

Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations between soil fungi and most plant species.

An account of the total of material flows going in, out and through Amsterdam.

The power of personalized nutrition lies in being able to conduct clinical research on healthy people while capturing metabolic markers sensitive to the impact of environmental and metabolic stressors (e.g. diet, changing sex hormones and the menstrual cycle).

In this thesis unconventional tools based on fluidic interfaces were developed to study the surface and interfacial chemistry of graphene, to characterize the intrinsic properties of graphene, to disentangle the effects of substrate and of the environmental factors, and to improve handling protocols…

Marine sponges are important members of reef ecosystems, as they play ecological roles that are essential for the health of the reef.

A new environmental accounting framework using externality data and input-output tools for policy analysis.

In this PhD study, I aim to deepen our understanding of the influence of major mycorrhizal types, namely arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) and ectomycorrhizae (EM), on the global soil carbon cycle and their potential distribution changes under future environmental shifts.

Celebrating 20 years of Environmental Research and Education in Northern Cameroon

Security and safety challenges rank among the most pressing issues of modern times. Challenges such as cyber-crime, terrorism, and environmental disasters impact the lives of millions across the globe. The course will introduce you to this broad theme in an increasingly complex world.

The LUGO Press is a student publication forum, rooted in academia and journalistic practices and published by the Leiden University Green Office.

Wetland plants are distinguished from plants of other terrestrial ecosystems by their adaptations to specific habitat stresses, including waterlogged and flooding and the subsequent abundance of phytotoxic compounds.

Can we provide the Dutch government with an integrative framework, wherein the various policies can be placed and the need for further measures can be identified?

Plant architecture has distinct forms in different plant species, but also within a species the finalarchitecture of a plant is determined by its gradual development and changes therein induced by environmental conditions during the plant’s life cycle.

As a contribution to the changing legislation and evolving societal attitudes concerning environmental issues, this project aims to enhance and manipulate the plants’ own natural defense mechanisms against western flower thrips (WFT).

Bacterial chemosensory arrays are protein assemblies that are the key structural and functional component for motile bacteria to sense their internal or environmental chemical signals.

The role of material production as a driver of environmental impacts is increasing, which calls for a better understanding of global material flows. This thesis explores the role of in-use stocks of products, buildings and infrastructure as a key driver of global material demand and discusses the implications…

Plants and soils from natural ecosystems harbor great diversity of soil microorganisms, which could potentially contribute to the sustainability of horticulture. The knowledge about using wild plant species and soil from natural ecosystem to improve the crop health will advance the application of ecological…

Toe aan wat extra uitdaging naast je studie Rechtsgeleerdheid? Universiteit Leiden biedt je verschillende mogelijkheden om deel te nemen aan extra activiteiten

Studenten met ambitie en gedreven door nieuwsgierigheid worden uitgedaagd hun talenten verder te ontwikkelen, samen met docenten en medestudenten. De faculteit heeft hier speciale programma’s voor, met speciale aandacht voor programma’s van de Honours Academy.

The long-held desire - to link structure directly to function and to explain molecular mechanisms based on basic chemical or physical principles - is finally coming closer, satisfying not only our scientific curiosity but also offering new solutions to the many challenges in the field of health, energy…

Het Leiden University Sustainability Network is het platform voor medewerkers en studenten van de Universiteit Leiden om hun inspanningen te bundelen en elkaar te ondersteunen bij het verduurzamen van onze universiteit.

EXIOBASE is a global, detailed Multi-regional Environmentally Extended Supply and Use / Input Output (MR EE SUT/IOT) database. It was developed by harmonizing and detailing SUT for a large number of countries, estimating emissions and resource extractions by industry, linking the country EE SUT via…

In this study the flows of PVC and its additives through the Swedish Society were followed from the cradle to the grave (from production to waste treatment).

How can we quantify the density of species within a community through environmental DNA concentrations?

Description of The Regional Network on the Synergy between the Convention on Biological Diversity and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.

How do nanoparticles bioaccumulate and biodistribute in organisms?

Steden, Voedsel, Water, Biodiversiteit, Bronnen en Energie: dit zijn de belangrijkste onderzoeksthema’s voor het CML. Ons doel is altijd om wereldwijd voorop te lopen in ons vakgebied. En echte impact te hebben met onze onderzoeksprogramma’s.
