A multimodel analysis of post-Glasgow climate targets and feasibility challenges
(Nature Climate Change, 2023-06-01)The COP26 Glasgow process resulted in many countries strengthening their 2030 emissions reduction targets and announcing net-zero pledges for 2050–2070 but it is not clear how this would impact future warming. Here, we use ... -
A multiple-uncertainty analysis framework for integrated assessment modelling of several sustainable development goals
(Elsevier, 2020)This research introduces a two-level integration of climate-economy modelling and portfolio analysis, to simulate technological subsidisation with implications for multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), across ... -
A new accounting framework for assessing forest footprint of nations
(Ecological Economics, 2022)n a tele-coupled and globalized World, understanding the links between demand for wood products and land use is becoming challenging. World's economies are increasingly open and interconnected, and international trade flows ... -
A new approach for assessing natural patterns of flow variability and hydrological alterations: The case of the Spanish rivers
(Elsevier, 2019)Ensuring water is available for human use usually requires dams and reservoirs that severely affect river ecosystems. Hydrological alteration by river damming represents one of the most prominent human impacts on freshwater ... -
A novel optimization approach incorporating non-stomatal limitations predicts stomatal behaviour in species from six plant functional types
(Oxford University Press, 2019)The primary function of stomata is to minimize plant water loss while maintaining CO 2 assimilation. Stomatal water loss incurs an indirect cost to photosynthesis in the form of non-stomatal limitations (NSL) via reduced ... -
A participatory modelling approach to cognitive mapping of the socio-environmental system of sandy anthropogenic shores in the Netherlands
(Ocean and Coastal Management, 2023-09-01)Sandy Anthropogenic Shores (SAS) are coasts formed or heavily modified by moving large amounts of dredged sand from offshore towards the land. Subsequently, natural processes such as waves, wind, and currents are spreading ... -
A pre-crisis vs. crisis analysis of peripheral EU stock markets by means of wavelet transform and a nonlinear causality test
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper presents an analysis of EU peripheral (so-called PIIGS) stock market indices and the SandP Europe 350 index (SPEURO), as a European benchmark market, over the pre-crisis (2004 2007) and crisis (2008 2011) periods. ... -
A reconstructed database of historic bluefin tuna captures in the Gibraltar Strait and Western Mediterranean
(Elsevier, 2018)This data paper presents a reconstruction of a compilation of a small but consistent database of historical capture records of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus; BFT hereafter) from the Gibraltar Strait and Western Mediterranean ... -
A review of the combined effects of climate change and other local human stressors on the marine environment
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2021)Climate change (CC) is a key, global driver of change of marine ecosystems. At local and regional scales, other local human stressors (LS) can interact with CC and modify its effects on marine ecosystems. Understanding the ... -
A simple model for the effect of thermal stress on the productivity of small ruminants
(Livestock Science, 2021)Projected climatic changes are expected to change temperature and precipitation patterns and to increase the frequency of extreme events in many regions of the world. This will affect livestock systems through direct effects ... -
A systematic map of cassava farming practices and their agricultural and environmental impacts using new ontologies: Agri-ontologies 1.0
(Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023-05-01)Cassava is consumed by 800 million people and is a staple crop in Africa. Its production may increase under climate change due to its high drought tolerance. We produced a systematic map of scientific studies about cassava ... -
A systematic review of non-productivityrelated animal-based indicators of heat stress resilience in dairy cattle
(PLoS One, 2018)Introduction Projected temperature rise in the upcoming years due to climate change has increased interest in studying the effects of heat stress in dairy cows. Environmental indices are commonly used for detecting heat ... -
A typology of elementary forms of human-nature relations: a contribution to the valuation debate
(Elsevier, 2018)This article aims to contribute to the debate about the role of relational values in environmental decision making, by putting forward a typology of human-nature relational models . We argue that human-nature relational ... -
Accounting for diverse cultural values in freshwater management plans by using a transparent and collaborative decision support system based on multi-criteria decision analysis
(New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2021-01-01)"The inadequate success of decades-long attempts to restore aquatic biodiversity casts doubt on the effectiveness of common top-down driven approaches that focus on ecological and socio-economic objectives alone. A way ... -
Accounting for economic factors in socio-hydrology: Optimization under uncertainty and climate change
(MDPI, 2019)This paper reframes the socio-hydrology analysis as an optimization problem. To achieve this, we first develop a valuation scheme to estimate net benefits of development in a flood plain, consisting of benefits obtained ... -
Accounting for erroneous model structures in biokinetic process models
(Elsevier, 2020)In engineering practice, model-based design requires not only a good process-based model, but also a good description of stochastic disturbances and measurement errors to learn credible parameter values from observations. ... -
Accounting for Raw Material Embodied in Imports by Multi-regional Input-Output Modelling and Life Cycle Assessment, Using Finland as a Study Case
(Elsevier, 2018)The two main methods used to estimate raw material embodied in imports are life cycle assessment (LCA) and multi-regional input-output (MRIO) models. The key advantage of LCA is its higher product resolution but it relies ... -
Accounting for the effects of employment, equity, and risk aversion in cost-benefit analysis: An application to an adaptation project
(Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis, 2021-06-01)This paper sets out to explore to what extent integrating employment effects, equity, and risk aversion within cost-benefit analysis (CBA) affect the economic appraisal of a climate change adaptation project designed to ... -
Adaptation planning in large cities is unlikely to be effective
(Elservier, 2021)The assessment of public adaptation policies, strategies and plans to evaluate progress, effectiveness and long-term sustainability is challenging. The potential to develop an ex-post evaluation linked to outcomes is limited ... -
Adaptation to climate change in cities of Mediterranean Europe
(Cities, 2023-09-01)Cities across Mediterranean Europe face common climatic threats. They are highly vulnerable and very likely to suffer losses and damages due to heat waves, droughts, wildfires, landslides, and extreme coastal events. To ...
