How to get commuters out of private cars? Exploring the role of perceived social impacts in mode choice in five European countries
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2022)Shifting away from private vehicle use in urban areas is a necessary step in the decarbonisation of mobility. A thorough understanding of the determinants of travel mode choice is paramount for developing policies that can ... -
How to make ecological models useful for environmental management
(Elsevier, 2019)Understanding and predicting the ecological consequences of different management alternatives is becoming increasingly important to support environmental management decisions. Ecological models could contribute to such ... -
How well do climate adaptation policies align with risk-based approaches? An assessment framework for cities
(CITIES, 2021)Many cities around the world are undertaking adaptation planning processes in contexts of considerable uncertainty due to climate risks. However, new evidence suggests that current adaptation policies are failing to fully ... -
Human dependence on natural resources in rapidly urbanising South African regions
(IOP Publishing, 2019)Enhancing the governance of social-ecological systems for more equitable and sustainable development is hindered by inadequate knowledge about how different social groups and communities rely on natural resources. We used ... -
Hunting spectro-temporal information in unevenly spaced paleoclimate time series
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-10-24)Here we present some preliminary results of a statistical–computational implementation to estimate the wavelet spectrum of unevenly spaced paleoclimate time series by means of the Morlet Weighted Wavelet Z-Transform (MWWZ). ... -
IAOx induces the SUR phenotype and differential signalling from IAA under different types of nitrogen nutrition in Medicago truncatula roots
(Plant Science, 2019-10-01)Indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx) is a particularly relevant molecule as an intermediate in the pathway for tryptophan-dependent auxin biosynthesis. The role of IAOx in growth-signalling and root phenotype is poorly studied in ... -
ICT Applications in the Research for Environmental Sustainability
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-11-08)Whether Information and Communication Technology (ICT) constitutes a threat to or a cure for environmental deterioration is a matter of controversy. Empirical evidence on the impacts of ICT is rare, so few generalisable ... -
Identification of conservation and restoration priority areas in the Danube River based on the multi-functionality of river-floodplain systems
(Elsevier, 2019)Large river-floodplain systems are hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services but are also used for multiple human activities, making them one of the most threatened ecosystems worldwide. There is wide evidence that ... -
Identification of potential locations for small hydropower plant based on resources time footprint: A case study in Dan River Basin, China
(Renewable Energy, 2023)mall hydropower has attracted extensive interest as a clean technology. This study first identified possible sites of small hydropower plants with estimated capacity, and then utilized resources time footprint as a novel ... -
Identification of suspicious behavior through anomalies in the tracking data of fishing vessels
(EPJ Data Science, 2024-12-01)Automated positioning devices can generate large datasets with information on the movement of humans, animals and objects, revealing patterns of movement, hot spots and overlaps among others. However, in the case of Automated ... -
Identifying optimal technological portfolios for European power generation towards climate change mitigation: A robust portfolio analysis approach
(Elsevier, 2019)Here, an integrative approach is proposed to link integrated assessment modelling results from the GCAM model with a novel portfolio analysis framework. This framework comprises a bi-objective optimisation model, Monte ... -
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 ... -
Impact of environmental factors on the presence of quinolizidine alkaloids in lupins: a review
(Food Additives and Contaminants - Part A, 2023)Lupin seeds have a high potential as an alternative for animal proteins in feed and food. However, the possible presence of alkaloids hinders the usage of lupins in human diets. This review aims to identify the main factors ... -
Impactos y adaptación al cambio climático en rumiantes
(ITEA-Informacion Tecnica Economica Agraria, 2020)Climate change will affect ruminant systems through direct effects on animal performance, and indirect effects on pasture and forage availability. As impacts will be very unequal amongst different regions and production ... -
Impacts of Climate Change on European Critical Infrastructures: The Case of the Power Sector
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-06-24)Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases cause climate change and this change in turn induces various direct impacts, e.g., changes in regional weather patterns. The frequency of heat waves and droughts in Europe is ... -
Implementing Integrated Water Resources Management in the Ebro River Basin: From Theory to Facts
(MDPI, 2015)In this article, we analyze how successful the implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the Ebro river catchment (in Spain) has been. Our main aim is to show some gaps between theory and practice. ... -
Implications of governance structures on urban climate action: evidence from Italy and Spain
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-03-26)Cities are widely recognised as being pivotal to fight climate change. Cities magnify the drivers of climate change, experience the impacts and also concentrate the highest room for action. Given the 70% of the global ... -
Implications of switching fossil fuel subsidies to solar: A case study for the European Union
(MDPI, 2017)Fossil fuel subsidies (FFS) constitute one of the most obvious barriers to tackling climate change, as they encourage inefficient energy consumption and divert investment away from clean energy sources. According to the ... -
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 ... -
La importancia de la eficiencia energética: evidencia reciente para España
(Papeles de Economía Española, 2022-12-05)The IPCC report shows that there is a gap between the need to achieve net GHG emissions by 2050, and what has been promised by political leaders. In this context, energy efficiency can play a key role in promoting ...
