Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-17)A quantification of present and future mean annual losses due to extreme coastal events can be crucial for adequate decision making on adaptation to climate change in coastal areas around the globe. However, this approach ... -
Unexplained hydrogen isotope offsets complicate the identification and quantification of tree water sources in a riparian forest
(EGU Publications, 2019)We investigated plant water sources of an emblematic refugial population of Fagus sylvatica (L.) in the Ciron river gorges in south-western France using stable water isotopes. It is generally assumed that no isotopic ... -
Unprecedented recent regional increase in organic carbon and lithogenic fluxes in high altitude Pyrenean lakes
(Scientific Reports, 2023-12-01)We have conducted a monitoring survey and paleolimnological study of a W-E transect of six high altitude lakes (1870–2630 m asl) in the western and central Pyrenees (Spain) to evaluate the regional response to current ... -
Unravelling Antarctica’s past through the stratigraphy of a deep ice core: an image-analysis study of the EPICA-DML line-scan images
(Elsevier, 2020)Polar ice research has undergone great progress in the last six decades. One of its recent technological achievements has been the development of new techniques for digital image recording and analysis of ice-core stratigraphy ... -
Urban green space: creating a triple win for environmental sustainability, health, and health equity through behavior change
(MDPI, 2019)Urbanization, costs of green space maintenance, and diminishing connection between people and nature all exert pressures on urban green space. This is regrettable as green space has the potential to create wins for ... -
Urban research at BC3: How climate change science can support urban policy making
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2016-06)Cities are becoming key actors to successfully achieve climate change mitigation and adaptation objectives. . -Science can play a crucial role in supporting local decision-makers by providing top level information and ... -
Use your power for good: Plural valuation of nature the Oaxaca statement
(Global sustainability, 2020)During a workshop held in Oaxaca, Mexico, a shared vision, mission and strategies to foster a more plural valuation of nature were developed. The participants represent a wide range of backgrounds and are active in ... -
Use, value, and desire: ecosystem services under agricultural intensification in a changing landscape in West Kalimantan (Indonesia)
(Regional Environmental Change, 2023-12-01)A fundamental challenge is to understand and navigate trade-offs between ecosystem services (ES) in dynamic landscapes and to account for interactions between local people and broad-scale drivers, such as agricultural ... -
Using Deep Learning and Radar Backscatter for Mapping River Water Surface
(International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management, GISTAM - Proceedings, 2023-01-01)In the last decades, the effects of global warming combined with growing anthropogenic activities have caused a mismatch in the water supply-demand, resulting in a negative impact on numerous Mediterranean rivers regime ... -

Valuation of Real Options in Crude Oil Production
Abadie, Luis María; Chamorro Gómez, José Manuel
(MDPI, 2017-08-17)
Oil producers are going through a hard period. They have a number of real options at their disposal. This paper addresses the valuation of two of them: the option to delay investment and the option to abandon a producing ... -
Valuation of wind energy projects: A real options approach
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)This paper addresses the valuation of an operating wind farm and the …nite-lived option to invest in such a farm under di¤erent reward and/or support schemes. They range from a feed-in tari¤ to a premium on top of ... -
Valuing a Natura 2000 network site to inform land use options using a discrete choice experiment: An illustration from the Basque Country
Hoyos Ramos, David; Mariel Chladkova, Petr ; Pascual, Unai; Etxano Gandariasbeitia, Iker (Elsevier, 2012)
One of the main problems that public institutions face in the management of protected areas, such as the European Natura 2000 network, is determining how to design and implement sustainable management plans that account ... -
Valuing deaths or years of life lost? Economic benefits of avoided mortality from early heat warning systems
(Springer, 2018)The study aims to explore the main drivers influencing the economic appraisal of heat warning systems by integrating epidemiological modelling and benefit-cost analysis. To shed insights on heat wave mortality valuation, ... -
Valuing Expansions of the Electricity Transmission Network under Uncertainty: The Binodal Case
Abadie, Luis María; Chamorro Gómez, José Manuel (MDPI, 2011-10)
Transmission investments are currently needed to meet an increasing electricity demand, to address security of supply concerns, and to reach carbon-emissions targets. A key issue when assessing the benefits from an expanded ... -
Valuing nature’s contributions to people: the IPBES approach
(Elsevier, 2017-06)Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad ... -
Variation in diversity–function relationships can be explained by species interactions
(Journal of Animal Ecology, 2023)Research Highlight: Wu, D., Xu, C., Wang, S., Zhang, L., & Kortsch, S. (2022). Why are biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships so elusive? Trophic interactions may amplify ecosystem function variability. Journal ... -
