Comparing urban coastal flood risk in 136 cities under two alternative sea-level projections: RCP 8.5 and an expert opinion-based high-end scenario
(Elsevier, 2020)
The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We explore the impact of this uncertainty on ...
Transnationalization of climate adaptation by regional governments and the RegionsAdapt initiative
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
Adaptation to climate change has traditionally been framed as a local problem. However, in recent years, and particularly since the 2015 Paris Agreement established a global goal on adaptation, adaptation has risen on the ...
Multiple perspectives of resilience: A holistic approach to resilience assessment using cognitive maps in practitioner engagement
(Elsevier, 2020)
Resilience has become a regulatory concept influencing investment decisions in the water and wastewater sector. However, current assessments predominantly focus on technical resilience and on engineering solutions. Here ...
Ensembles of ecosystem service models can improve accuracy and indicate uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2020)
Many ecosystem services (ES) models exist to support sustainable development decisions. However, most ES studies use only a single modelling framework and, because of a lack of validation data, rarely assess model accuracy ...
Southward re-distribution of tropical tuna fisheries activity can be explained by technological and management change
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)
There is broad evidence of climate change causing shifts in fish distribution worldwide, but less is known about the response of fisheries to these changes. Responses to climate-driven shifts in a fishery may be constrained ...
Current expectations and actual values for the clean spark spread: The case of Spain in the Covid-19 crisis
(JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION, 2021)
The Covid-19 crisis has had a major impact on electricity markets, affecting power plant input and output prices. In this paper Spanish electricity and natural gas prices and international carbon prices are used to calculate ...
Greenhouse gas observation network design for Africa
(TELLUS SERIES B-CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL METEOROLOGY, 2020)
An optimal network design was carried out to prioritise the installation or refurbishment of greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring stations around Africa. The network was optimised to reduce the uncertainty in emissions across ...
FlowRegEnvCost: An R Package for Assessing the Environmental Cost of River Flow Regulation
(Springer Nature, 2020)
FlowRegEnvCost is an R package developed for evaluating the environmental costs of river flow regulation. The methods for calculating the costs are separated in three steps: (i) measuring the admissible range of variability ...
Environmental and social consequences of the increase in the demand for superfoods world-wide
(People and Nature, 2020)
1.The search for healthy diets has led to a surge in the demand for functional foods
or ‘superfoods’, which have now become popular among the middle- and high-
income fractions of the society in developed regions of the ...
Dry deposition of air pollutants on trees at regional scale: A case study in the Basque Country
(Elsevier, 2020)
There is increased interest in the role of trees to reduce air pollution and thereby improve human health and well-being. This study determined the removal of air pollutants by dry deposition of trees across the Basque ...
