A widespread implicit assumption is that renewable energy options are approximately low-carbon. However, production and life cycles of such technologies tend to produce CO2...

We study how heterogeneous beliefs about the causes and extent of global warming affect local mitigation and adaptation strategies and therefore global climate dynamics. Local...

Since 1975, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program has been the main policy tool in the US for coping with the problems of increasing fuel consumption and dependence...

Abstract Spectroscopy is the science concerned with the investigation and measurement of spectra produced when materials interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation....

Abstract Great efforts are underway to develop improved absorbents for post-combustion CO2 capture. Regardless of the solvent composition, the absorbent can be represented by...

Environmental policy integration (EPI) refers to the incorporation of environmental concerns in non-environmental policy sectors. EPI aims to avoid conflicts between...

A new project governance model for infrastructure projects is described in this paper. This model contains causal mechanisms that relate a number of project governance variables...

Nowadays, forest policies often address both public and private forest as a means to meet the increasing demand for forest services in densely populated regions. Policy bodies...

The Eastern Scheldt, a tidal basin in the southwest of The Netherlands, underwent large physical and ecological changes due to a system-wide human interference. The construction...

We present a new approach that increases bandwidth of supercontinuum generation by alternating the sign of dispersion along the interaction length, bypassing mechanisms that...

This presents an evaluation of various scenarios for sustainable development on the Greek island of Alonnisos using the new information technology of geographic information...

Over het Energieakkoord. In het energieakkoord voor duurzame groei is afgesproken dat in 2020 14 procent van de opwek hernieuwbaar moet zijn en in 2023 16 procent. De...

Industrial policy has long been criticized as subject to protectionist interests; accordingly, subsidies to domestic producers face disciplines under World Trade Organization...

Foliar analysis is a valuable tool for evaluating the pollution status of forests. However, the use of foliar diagnosis in large-scale surveys is a complicated process owing to...

Abstract Separation of foliar and woody materials using remotely sensed data is crucial for the accurate estimation of leaf area index (LAI) and woody biomass across forest...

Abstract To meet public expectations in densely populated regions, forest management should be multifunctional, not solely in public but also in private forests. Governments...

Abstract Should policy-makers combine price incentives with behavioural nudges to encourage sustainable energy behaviour? Available evidence from various behavioural sciences...

The resource curse has been mainly studied using cross-country samples. In this paper we analyze a cross-province sample from one country: China. We focus on the interplay...

Conventional biomass sources have been widely exploited for several end uses (mostly food, feed, fuel and chemicals). More unconventional sources are continually being sought...
