Evaluating three-pillar sustainability modelling approaches for dairy cattle production systems
(Sustainability (Switzerland), 2021)Milk production in Europe is facing major challenges to ensure its economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It is essential that holistic concepts are developed to ensure the future sustainability of the sector ... -
Evaluation of a cross-border electricity interconnection: The case of Spain-France
(Energy, 2021-10-15)This paper focuses on the economics of a cross-border transmission interconnector. The domestic spot electricity price is modelled as a stochastic process with mean reversion and jumps; it also includes a deterministic ... -
Evaluation of habitat protection under the European Natura 2000 conservation network The example for Germany
(PLoS One, 2018)The world´s largest network of protected areas Natura 2000 (N2000) has been implemented to protect Europe´s biodiversity. N2000 is built upon two cornerstones, the Birds Directive, which lists 691 bird species (plus one ... -
Evaluation of two alternative carbon capture and storage technologies
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-05-16)* Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one of the technologies for fighting climate change in the future. The use of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) paired with storage in deep saline formations (DSF) could ... -
Evaluation of Two Alternative Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies: A Stochastic Model
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-03-03)In this paper we evaluate two alternative CCS technologies of a coal-fired power plant from an investor’s point of view. The first technology uses CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) paired with storage in deep saline ... -
Everyday adaptation practices by coffee farmers in three mountain regions in Africa
(Ecology and Society, 2022)Mountain environments in East Africa experience more rapid increases in temperature than lower elevations, which, together with changing rainfall patterns, often negatively affect coffee production. However, little is known ... -
Evolutionary dynamics of higher-order interactions in social networks
(Nature Human Behaviour, 2021)We live and cooperate in networks. However, links in networks only allow for pairwise interactions, thus making the framework suitable for dyadic games, but not for games that are played in larger groups. Here, we study ... -
Experiential Learning of Local Relational Tasks for Global Sustainable Development by Using a Behavioral Simulation
(Frontiers in Sustainability, 2021-07-23)The interdependent character of sustainability challenges calls for collaboration among actors with different capabilities, interests, and knowledge frames. Behavioral simulations offer good opportunities to learn about ... -
Exploitation of soil biota ecosystem services in agriculture: a bioeconomic approach
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-02-02)This paper analyzes the interactions between soil biota and agricultural practices in the exploitation of soil ecosystem services. A theoretical bioeconomic model stylized this set of interactions and combined a production ... -
Exploring low-carbon futures: A web service approach to linking diverse climate-energy-economy models
(MDPI, 2019)The use of simulation models is essential when exploring transitions to low-carbon futures and climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. There are many models developed to understand socio-environmental processes ... -
Exploring the relationship between plural values of nature, human well-being, and conservation and development intervention: Why it matters and how to do it?
(People and Nature, 2023-12-01)Globally, land and seascapes across the bioculturally diverse tropics are in transition. Impacted by the demands of distant consumers, the processes of global environmental change and numerous interventions seeking climate, ... -
Exploring the roles of storage technologies in the Spanish electricity system with high share of renewable energy
(Energy Reports, 2022)At operational level, fossil fuel phase-out and high shares of non-dispatchable renewable energy resources (RES) will challenge the system operator's (SO) ability to balance generation, and the demand at any time. The ... -
Exploring the usefulness of scenario archetypes in science-policy processes: Experience across IPBES assessments
(The Resilience Alliance, 2019)Scenario analyses have been used in multiple science-policy assessments to better understand complex plausible futures. Scenario archetype approaches are based on the fact that many future scenarios have similar underlying ... -
Exposure to green areas: Modelling health benefits in a context of study heterogeneity
(Elsevier, 2020)Although the beneficial health effects of green areas are gaining recognition, epidemiological studies show mixed results with significance varying considerably by study and context, indicating that there is no unique and ... -
Factors affecting energy-efficiency investment in the hotel industry: survey results from Spain
(Energy Efficiency, 2021)Increasing energy efficiency is a major way of saving energy and thus reducing energy expenses. However, adoption of energy efficiency is generally low, as demonstrated by the energy efficiency gap. To understand that gap, ... -
Farmers vulnerability to global change in Navarre, Spain: large-scale irrigation as maladaptation
(Springer, 2019)Agricultural landscapes are dynamic environments which change in response to cropping and trade opportunities, available technologies and climatic conditions. In this article, we investigate farmers vulnerability to ... -
Finance, energy and the decoupling: an empirical study
(Springer-Verlag, 2018)This paper investigates the empirical and theoretical basis of the decoupling between energy throughput and economic growth, with a critical view of the use of the decoupling concept as a policy priority. We provide an ... -
