HYDR is currently developing research activities in the fields of: 1. Water resources management: - Assessment of water resources at the river basin scale through water balance models. 2. Surface water hydraulics and hydrology: - Process study for both quantity and quality aspects; - Rainfall-runoff modelling; - Stochastic rainfall and runoff models. 3. Hydrodynamics and sediment transport: - Process study of current circulation, turbulence ...
Research activities in the Cartography and GIS Research Group (CGIS) focus on the use of geospatial modelling approaches in urban ecology and geosciences. Harnessing new developments in GIS, remote sensing and data science, we are dedicated to analyzing and understanding human-nature interactions, both in urban and non-urban environments. Research topics include high-resolution mapping of grey and green infrastructure in urban environments, ...
Overall, the research carried out in this laboratory focuses on the spatial and quantitative assessment of biological and man-induced patterns and processes at the landscape and habitat level both in rural, urban and natural settings. We aim at coupling traditional research on forestry, landscape elements, land use, and biotic communities with earth observation, spatial data sciences, the statistical modeling environment, and planning tools. ...
The faculty of Bioscience Engineering contains the following services "Policy Unit on Education, Internationalisation and External Relations", "Faculty Administation", "Student Administration", "Information and Communication", "Expertise Unit on Education Provision", "Agricultural Support Facilities".
For more than 85 years, Flanders Hydraulics (FH) has been a centre of expertise for research and advice on hydraulic, nautical, sediment-related and hydrological topics. As a scientific institute and technical support service, we are a division of the department of Mobility and Public Works of the Government of Flanders. Flanders Hydraulics Research supports the preparation and execution of the policy of the Government of Flanders by ...
Within the Department of Geography and Tourism spatial patterns at the surface of the earth are studied and the dynamic interaction between the (bio-) physical environment and society takes a central place.
The Hydraulics Section of KU Leuven is active in the following three domains: (1) urban and river hydrology and hydraulics (prof. Patrick Willems), (2) coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics (prof. Jaak Monbaliu), and (3) sediment mechanics (prof. Erik Toorman). Research priorities are:
Urban and river hydrology and hydraulics. Key words: river hydrological and hydraulic modelling, urban drainage, hydrological extremes (floods, ...
Laboratory of Neuropathology
The laboratory of Neuropathology focusses on the investigation of the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. By getting novel insights into the pathogenesis of these diseases we hope to find novel therapeutic targets.
We study the pathology of the diseases morphologically and biochemically in autopsy brains from diseased ...
