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 ...
Contribution of the land sector to a 1.5 °C world
(Nature Climate Change, 2019)
The Paris Agreement introduced an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Here we combine a review of modelled pathways and literature on mitigation strategies, and develop a land-sector ...

A Malonyl-Based Scaffold for Conjugatable Multivalent Carbohydrate-BODIPY Presentations
(MDPI, 2019-06-01)
A concise synthetic route from methylmalonate to a tetravalent aliphatic scaffold has been developed. The ensuing tetra-tethered derivative is equipped with two hydroxyl groups, as well as orthogonal alkene and alkyne ...
Unlocking the Potential of Magnetotactic Bacteria as Magnetic Hyperthermia Agents
(Wiley, 2019-10)
Magnetotactic bacteria are aquatic microorganisms that internally biomineralize chains of magnetic nanoparticles (called magnetosomes) and use them as a compass. Here it is shown that magnetotactic bacteria of the strain ...
