Climate Change Contributions to Increasing Compound Flooding Risk in New York City

Efforts to meaningfully quantify the changes in coastal compound surge- and rainfall -driven flooding hazard associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) and extratropical cyclones (ETCs) in a warming climate have increased in recent years. Despite substantial ...

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in the Transition to Net-Zero Emissions: Collective Implementation and Distributional Impacts

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

As an instrument to minimize carbon leakage, the effects and feasibility of Carbon Border Adjustments Mechanism (CBAM) will depend on multiple design options. While the EU has committed to introducing CBAM as part of its green climate deal, pursuing climat ...

Reaching Paris Agreement goal through carbon dioxide removal development: A compact OR model

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

A compact operations research (OR) model is proposed to analyse the prospects of meeting the Paris Agreement targets when direct air capture technologies can be used or not. The main features of the model are (i) the representation of the economy and energ ...

Unraveling how the concept of circularity relates to sustainability: An indicator-based meta-analysis applied at the urban scale

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Albert Merino, Valeria Superti

Cities account for 75% of resource consumption and 80% of CO2 emissions. With rising urbanization, achieving urban sustainability becomes crucial. The Circular Economy (CE) concept has been proposed to reduce resource consumption, although its link to sust ...

Sources and variability of CO 2 in a pre‐alpine stream gravel bar

Tom Ian Battin

Gravel bars (GBs) contribute to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from stream corridors, with CO2 concentrations and emissions dependent on prevailing hydraulic, biochemical, and physicochemical onditions. We investigated CO2 concentrations and fluxes across ...

Experimental evidence reveals impact of drought periods on dissolved organic matter quality and ecosystem metabolism in subalpine streams

Tom Ian Battin

Subalpine streams are predicted to experience lower summer discharge following climate change and water extractions. In this study, we aimed to understand how drought periods impact dissolved organic matter (DOM) processing and ecosystem metabolism of suba ...

A Linear-Quadratic Gaussian Approach to Dynamic Information Acquisition

Thomas Alois Weber, Viet Anh Nguyen

We consider optimal information acquisition for the control of linear discrete-time random systems with noisy observations and apply the findings to the problem of dynamically implementing emissions-reduction targets. The optimal policy, which is provided ...

Strategic energy planning under uncertainty

Stefano Moret

Various countries and communities are defining or rethinking their energy strategy driven by concerns for climate change and security of energy supply. Energy models, often based on optimization, can support this decision-making process. In the current ene ...

Statistical distributions of trace metal concentrations in the northwestern Mediterranean atmospheric aerosol

Thomas Robin

The concentrations of 11 crustal and anthropogenic trace metals (Li, Al, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) were measured from 2006 to 2008 in the atmospheric aerosol at a northwestern Mediterranean coast (station of Cap Ferrat, situated on the southeaster ...
