• A Multimedia Hydrological Fate Modeling Framework To Assess Water Consumption Impacts in Life Cycle Assessment 

      Núñez, Montse; Rosenbaum, Ralph K; Karimpour, S; Boulay, Anne-Marie; Lathuilliere, Michael J; Margni, Manuele; Scherer, Laura; Verones, Francesca; Pfister, Stephan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Many new methods have recently been developed to address environmental consequences of water consumption in life cycle assessment (LCA). However, such methods can only partially be compared and combined, because their ...
    • Empirical Characterization Factors for Life Cycle Assessment of the Impacts of Reservoir Occupation on Macroinvertebrate Richness across the United States 

      Trottier, Gabrielle; Turgeon, Katrine; Verones, Francesca; Boisclair, Daniel; Bulle, Cecile; Margni, Manuele (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The transformation of a river into a reservoir and the subsequent occupation of the riverbed by a reservoir can impact freshwater ecosystems and their biodiversity. We used the National Lake Assessment (134 reservoirs) and ...
