The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)
Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify ...
Declining water resources in the Anduña River Basin of Western Pyrenees: Land abandonment or climate variability?
(Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2024-06-01)
Study Region: Mountains play a crucial role in supplying water for consumption, irrigation, and hydroelectric power. However, they are highly vulnerable to climate change. The Pyrenees exemplify a mountainous region ...
Quantifying the role of saltmarsh as a vulnerable carbon sink: A case study from Northern Portugal
(Science of the Total Environment, 2024-05-01)
Saltmarshes play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and storage, although they are increasingly threatened by climate change-induced sea level rise (SLR). This study assessed the potential variation in Blue Carbon ...
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 ...
Climate action from a gender perspective: A systematic review of the impact of climate policies on inequality
