Socio-economic projections in urban climate change adaptation planning: Practices and prospects for just adaptation
(Habitat International, 2023)
Urban climate change adaptation efforts have often been criticized for exacerbating the inequitable impacts of climate change by failing to address the social, economic, and environmental impacts of adaptation. There is ...
A methodological approach for assessing flexibility and capacity value in renewable-dominated power systems: A Spanish case study in 2030
(Energy, 2023)
Maintaining the security of supply is one of the challenges that system operators face. Variability and uncertainty increase due to the penetration of variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, while flexible ...
Volcanism and climate change as drivers in Holocene depositional dynamic of Laguna del Maule (Andes of central Chile - 36° S)
(Climate of the Past, 2020-07-02)
Late Quaternary volcanic basins are active landscapes from which detailed archives of past climate and seismic and volcanic activity can be obtained. A multidisciplinary study performed on a transect of sediment cores was ...
Justice, sustainability, and the diverse values of nature: why they matter for biodiversity conservation
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2023)
Aiming at just and sustainable futures for biodiversity conservation requires clarity concerning how justice relates to the diverse values of nature. By drawing upon and expanding on the recent Values Assessment of ...
Topography modulates climate sensitivity of multidecadal trends of holm oak decline
(Global Change Biology, 2023)
Forest decline events have increased worldwide over the last decades being holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) one of the tree species with the most worrying trends across Europe. Since this is one of the tree species with the ...
Dynamic wavelet correlation analysis for multivariate climate time series
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
The wavelet local multiple correlation (WLMC) is introduced for the first time in the study of climate dynamics inferred from multivariate climate time series. To exemplify the use of WLMC with real climate data, we analyse ...
The Effect of Providing Monetary Information on Energy Savings for Household Appliances: A Field Trial in Spain
(Journal of Consumer Policy, 2021-06-01)
Energy labels are one of the most widely used policies in the European Union for increasing the energy efficiency of household appliances. However, their effectiveness in promoting energy-efficient purchases has sometimes ...
Promoting energy efficiency at household level: a literature review
(Energy Efficiency, 2021-01-01)
The household sector is one of the most energy-intensive sectors in Europe, and thus a focal point for reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy consumption. Energy efficiency is considered a key measure to ...
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 ...
