How can the water use of lithium brine mining be adequately assessed?
In the past decades global lithium production has tripled to meet the demand to meet the demand for storage for renewable electricity. So far, the majority of this lithium has come from classic mining operations, mainly in Australia and China. But since 70% of the world's reserves are in the Andes,…The World Budget: Safe and fair resource use for global survival and well-being
This book describes the sustainable shaping of the whole physical basis of the economy and society through the equitable management of global resource consumption. It explains strategies that will enable the development of societies and individuals, even with limited consumption of goods, while…Evaluation of Alpine-Mediterranean precipitation events in convection-permitting regional climate models using a set of tracking algorithms
We here inter-compare four different tracking algorithms by applying them onto the precipitation fields of an ensemble of convection-permitting regional climate models (cpRCMs) and on high-resolution observational datasets of precipitation. The domain covers the Alps and the northern Mediterranean…Comparative Analysis of Resource and Climate Footprints for Different Heating Systems in Building Information Modeling
Buildings play an important role to meet Sustainable Development Goals, especially regarding the use of resources and greenhouse gas emissions. They are increasingly designed with energy-efficient solutions regarding their operations, while the related use of natural resources is still…Das Weltbudget – Sichere und faire Ressourcennutzung als globale Überlebensstrategie
Dieses Buch beschreibt die zukunftsfähige Gestaltung der physischen Basis von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft insgesamt durch eine gerechte Steuerung des weltweiten Ressourcenverbrauchs. Es erläutert Strategien, die die Entwicklung von Gesellschaften und Individuen auch bei begrenztem Güterverbrauch…
