Testing the SDG targets on water and sanitation using the world trade model with a waste, wastewater, and recycling framework
(Elsevier, 2019)
In this article, we employ an extended world trade model and rectangular choice of technology (WTM/RCOT) framework, which minimizes global factor costs subject to satisfying final demand and respecting region-specific ...
A conceptual framework for understanding the biogeochemistry of dry riverbeds through the lens of soil science
(Elsevier, 2019)
Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) encompass fluvial ecosystems that eventually stop flowing and run dry at some point in space and time. During the dry phase, channels of IRES consist mainly of dry riverbeds ...
Synergies and trade-offs of climate change mitigation policies: an integrative assessment approach
(2019-07-04)
The large degree of transformational change that would be necessary to limit global temperature change to 2°C would not only avoid dangerous climate change, but will affect societies in many more aspects. Depending how ...
Simulating rewetting events in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: A global analysis of leached nutrients and organic matter
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)
Climate change and human pressures are changing the global distribution and the extent of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which comprise half of the global river network area. IRES are characterized by ...
Sediment Respiration Pulses in Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams
(American Geophysical Union, 2019)
Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) may represent over half the global stream network, but their contribution to respiration and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is largely undetermined. In particular, little ...
Fluvial geomorphological dynamics and land use changes: impact on the organic carbon stocks of soil and sediment
(Bosque, 2019)
The drainage basin of the Turrilla river (SE of Spain) went through important land cover changes since 1950s; from mainly an agrarian scenario in 1956 to other depopulated and forested in 2015. This study analyzes the ...
Quantifying the services of natural and built infrastructure in the context of climate change: The case of the Tana River Basin, Kenya
(IWMI Research Report, 2019)
A study was conducted to explore the synergies and trade-offs between built and natural infrastructure in the Tana River Basin. A simple framework for better understanding the interactions and co-dependencies between ...
Regional climate change policies: An analysis of commitments, policy instruments and targets
(Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment, 2019)
Regional governments represent an increasingly relevant component in climate change policies, which showcase a high interest in the climate change sphere and provide several benefits connected with their governance. This ...
How can we all help conserve nature?
(Frontiers for Young Minds, 2019)
When we speak about conserving nature, we are really talking about taking care of our future, because nature provides essential resources for our survival and enjoyment. We asked an international group of scientists working ...
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 ...
