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 ... -
Restricting water withdrawals of the thermal power sector: An input-output analysis for the northeast of the United States
(Elsevier, 2018)As water scarcity and pollution of sources become increasingly severe and widespread, competition over this resource intensifies. Unlike much of the rest of the world, thermal power plants in the US are the biggest users ... -
Importance of fisheries for food security across three climate change vulnerable deltas
(Elsevier, 2018)Deltas are home to a large and growing proportion of the world's population, often living in conditions of extreme poverty. Deltaic ecosystems are ecologically significant as they support high biodiversity and a variety ... -
Applying the global RCP SSP SPA scenario framework at sub-national scale: A multi-scale and participatory scenario approach
(Elsevier, 2018)To better anticipate potential impacts of climate change, diverse information about the future is required, including climate, society and economy, and adaptation and mitigation. To address this need, a global RCP ... -
Holocene sea-level database from the Atlantic coast of Europe
(Elsevier, 2018)High-quality relative sea-level (RSL) data reveal spatial and temporal variations in crustal movements during the Holocene, which are used for many applications, ranging from calibrating models of earth rheology and ice ... -
Impact and distribution of climatic damages: a methodological proposal with a dynamic CGE model applied to global climate negotiations
(Springer Nature, 2018)The UNFCCC Paris Agreement, entered into force on 4 November 2016, represents a step forward in involving all countries in mitigation actions, even though it is based on a voluntary approach and lacks the active participation ... -
Land cover effects on hydrologic services under a precipitation gradient
(EGU Publications, 2018)Climate change impacts on the hydrological cycle are altering the quantity, quality, and temporal distribution of riverine discharge, necessitating a more rigorous consideration of changes in land cover and land use. This ... -
Análisis de una reforma fiscal ambiental para España con devoluciones para todos los hogares
(Papeles De Economía Española, 2018)In recent years, various international organizations have pointed out the importance of boosting energy-environmental taxation in Spain given its limited use today. In this paper we propose and analyze a reform or environmental ... -
Social-ecological outcomes of agricultural intensification
(Nature Sustainability, 2018)Land-use intensification in agrarian landscapes is seen as a key strategy to simultaneously feed humanity and use ecosystems sustainably, but the conditions that support positive social-ecological outcomes remain poorly ... -
Satellite remote sensing of ecosystem functions: Opportunities and challenges for reporting obligations of the EU habitat directive
(International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2018)... -
Is Connectivity a Desirable Property in Urban Resilience Assessments?
(Lecture Notes in Energy, 2018)... -
Integrating methods for ecosystem service assessment: Experiences from real world situations
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)The Ecosystem Services (ES) concept highlights the varied contributions the environment provides to humans and there are a wide range of methods/tools available to assess ES. However, in real-world decision contexts a ... -
Participatory multi-criteria decision aid: Operationalizing an integrated assessment of ecosystem services
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)Ongoing ecosystem alterations underscore the need for ecosystem service assessment to urgently enter policy-making. Participatory methods and a systematic inclusion of stakeholders are crucial yet underdeveloped cornerstones ... -
(Dis) integrated valuation – Assessing the information gaps in ecosystem service appraisals for governance support
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)The operational challenges of integrated ecosystem service (ES) appraisals are determined by study purpose, system complexity and uncertainty, decision-makers requirements for reliability and accuracy of methods, and ... -
Conceptual advancement of socio-ecological modelling of ecosystem services for re-evaluating Brownfield land
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)Essential environmental resources are rapidly exploited globally, while social-ecological systems at different scales fail to meet sustainable development challenges. Ecosystem services research, which at present predominantly ... -

Quantum Artificial Life in an IBM Quantum Computer
(Springer Nature, 2018)We present the first experimental realization of a quantum artificial life algorithm in a quantum computer. The quantum biomimetic protocol encodes tailored quantum behaviors belonging to living systems, namely, self-replication, ... -
Finance, energy and the decoupling: an empirical study
(Journal of Evolutionary Economics, 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 ... -
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 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. ...
