Land–atmosphere interactions in sub-polar and alpine climates in the CORDEX flagship pilot study Land Use and Climate Across Scales (LUCAS) models – Part 1: Evaluation of the snow-albedo effect
Seasonal snow cover plays a major role in the climate system of the Northern Hemisphere via its effect on land surface albedo and fluxes. In climate models the parameterization of interactions between snow and atmosphere remains a source of uncertainty and biases in the representation of local and…Biotic Part of the Product Material Footprint: Comparison of Indicators Regarding Their Interpretation and Applicability
The product material footprint (PMF) represents a central instrument to assess the potential environmental impacts of products and services based on their life-cycle-wide material use. Within the life cycle impact assessment framework, the indicators raw material input (RMI) and total material…Environmental and economic assessment of CO2-based value chains for a circular carbon use in consumer products
The currently fossil-based production and highly linear use of polymer products generates significant amounts of CO2 emissions and irretrievably wastes resources. To address these challenges, effective and competitive technologies are required to enhance the circularity of carbon use. In this study…Nachhaltigkeit auf dem Campus
Wie wird eine Konferenz klimaneutral? Was macht ein Solardach auf dem Gefängnis? Wie kann eine Gebäudehülle Energie erzeugen? Und wie können gestalterische Interventionen Studierende an das Thema Nachhaltigkeit heranführen? Diese und zahlreiche weitere Fragen zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit an…Explaining and Resolving Norm-Behavior Inconsistencies—A Theoretical Agent-Based Model
It is often assumed, that once people have internalized a norm, they behaved accordingly. However, empirical research has repeatedly shown inconsistencies between personal norms and behavior. In order to provide a better understanding of these inconsistencies and thus norm-based dynamics, we…
