Quantifying entanglement impacts from lost fishing gear
Hellesund, Sunniva Andrine (Master thesis, 2022)Plast fortsetter å akkumulere i havet på grunn av mangelfulle avfallshåndteringssystemer og direkte deponering eller tap i havet. Plast i det marine miljøet er kjent for å forårsake påvirkninger som innvikling og inntak ... -
Quantifying environmental impacts of river fragmentation from hydropower dams within Life Cycle Impact Assessment
Philippe, Audrey (Master thesis, 2023)Økende produksjon av vannkraft er en av måtene å redusere menneskeskapte klimagassutslippene i årene som kommer, for å begrense klimaendringer. Imidlertid utgjør driften av vannkraftmagasiner en trussel mot ferskvannshabitater ... -
Quantifying Europe's biodiversity footprints and the role of urbanization and income
Koslowski, Maximilian; Moran, Daniel; Tisserant, Alexandre; Verones, Francesca; Wood, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Biodiversity footprinting links consumers to the biodiversity pressure their consumption induces, thereby informing choices and enabling participation in remediation measures. In order for countries, cities and households ... -
Quantifying net water consumption of Norwegian hydropower reservoirs and related aquatic biodiversity impacts in Life Cycle Assessment
Dorber, Martin; Mattson, Kim Rainer; Sandlund, Odd Terje; May, Roelof Frans; Verones, Francesca (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Compared to conventional energy technologies, hydropower has the lowest carbon emissions per kWh. Therefore, hydropower electricity production can contribute to combat climate change challenges. However, hydropower electricity ... -
Resource footprints and their ecosystem consequences
Verones, Francesca; Moran, Daniel; Stadler, Konstantin; Kanemoto, Keiichiro; Wood, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A meaningful environmental impact analysis should go beyond the accounting of pressures from resource use and actually assess how resource demand affects ecosystems. The various currently available footprints of nations ... -
Retrieval operations of derelict fishing gears give insight on the impact on marine life
Vodopia, Dorian; Verones, Francesca; Askham, Cecilia; Larsen, Roger Bertram (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), significantly impacts marine ecosystems and biodiversity by incidental capture known as ghost fishing. Such impacts were quantified during the Norwegian Directorate of ... -
Reviewing the potential for including habitat fragmentation to improve life cycle impact assessments for land use impacts on biodiversity
Kuipers, Koen; May, Roelof Frans; Graae, Bente Jessen; Verones, Francesca (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose The biosphere is progressively subjected to a variety of pressures resulting from anthropogenic activities. Habitat conversion, resulting from anthropogenic land use, is considered the dominant factor driving ... -
Spatial Analysis of Protected Area Effectiveness in Safeguarding Global Biodiversity
Anderson, Sedona (Master thesis, 2022)Internasjonale avtaler har ansporet til den raske utvidelsen av beskyttede områder i et forsøk på å stoppe og til og med reversere pågående tap av biologisk mangfold. Utryddelser fortsetter imidlertid med kritiske hastigheter, ... -
Spatially and taxonomically explicit characterisation factors for greenhouse gas emission impacts on biodiversity
Iordan, Cristina Maria; Kuipers, Koen Jacobus Josefus; Huang, Bo; Hu, Xiangping; Verones, Francesca; Cherubini, Francesco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In life-cycle impact assessment, currently available characterisation factors (CF) for climate change impacts on biodiversity are highly simplified and do not consider spatial and taxonomic differentiation of species or ... -
