Evaluating three-pillar sustainability modelling approaches for dairy cattle production systems
(Sustainability (Switzerland), 2021)
Milk production in Europe is facing major challenges to ensure its economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It is essential that holistic concepts are developed to ensure the future sustainability of the sector ...
Experiential Learning of Local Relational Tasks for Global Sustainable Development by Using a Behavioral Simulation
(Frontiers in Sustainability, 2021-07-23)
The interdependent character of sustainability challenges calls for collaboration among actors with different capabilities, interests, and knowledge frames. Behavioral simulations offer good opportunities to learn about ...
Community-level reorganizations following migratory pollinator dynamics along a latitudinal gradient
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020)
Predicting how communities re-arrange in response to changes in species composition remains a key challenge in ecology. Migratory species, which enter and leave communities across latitudinal gradients, offer us a unique ...
Quantification of methane emitted by ruminants: a review of methods
(Journal of Animal Science, 2022)
The contribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ruminant production systems varies between countries and between regions within individual countries. The appropriate quantification of GHG emissions, specifically ...
Mapping land-use fluxes for 2001–2020 from global models to national inventories
(Earth Syst. Sci., 2022-08-22)
With the focus of climate policy shifting from pledges to implementation, there is an increasing need to track progress on climate change mitigation at country level, especially for the land-use sector. Despite new tools ...
Applying fault tree analysis to biological invasions identifies optimal targets for effective biosecurity
(Journal of Applied Ecology, 2022-10-01)
The management of invasive species requires analytical tools that can synthesise the increasing and complex information generated through risk assessment protocols. To that end, fault tree analysis (FTA) provides a means ...
Cultures of transformation: An integrated framework for transformative action
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2022)
The challenges posed by climate change have generated many initiatives that seek to implement societal transformations. In most cases, these focus on technology developments, adoption and diffusion but neglect the social ...
Relationships between large-scale climate modes and the South Atlantic Ocean wave climate
(Progress in Oceanography, 2021-09-01)
Modes of variability in ocean wave conditions are coupled to atmospheric circulation changes due to exchange of energy and momentum at the interface. Here, we explored for the South Atlantic Ocean the relations between ...
The desirability of transitions in demand: Incorporating behavioural and societal transformations into energy modelling
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2020)
Quantitative systems modelling in support of climate policy has tended to focus more on the supply side in assessing interactions among technology, economy, environment, policy and society. By contrast, the demand side is ...
Determinants of travel mode choice in Europe: Results from a survey on routine mobility
(Papeles de energía, 2020)
Understanding the differences in travel behaviour across different countries underlined by
trip and individual characteristics are paramount to develop effective policies to nudge a shift
towards sustainable mobility. ...
