  1. 1. Environmental Modelling : Learning from Uncertainty

    Författare :John M. Juston; Per-Erik Jansson; Jens Christian Refsgaard; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Models; data; error; uncertainty; hydrology; soil carbon; wetlands; phosphorus;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental models are important tools; however uncertainty is pervasive in the modeling process.   Current research has shown that under­standing and representing these uncertainties is critical when decisions are expected to be made from the modeling results. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The unseen in between: Unpacking, designing, and evaluating sustainability-oriented labs in real-world contexts

    Författare :Gavin McCrory; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sustainability transformations; evaluation; sustainability; undisciplinarity; laboratories; systematic review; education; learning; Sustainability transitions; reflexive governance;

    Sammanfattning : We live in a time of compounding ecological and social change. Given its uncertain and urgent nature, contemporary forms of governance are experiencing tension between controlling the present and nurturing collective capacities to enact transformative change. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Assessing Sustainability and Guiding Development towards More Sustainable Products

    Författare :Gunilla Clancy; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; action competence; early-stage product development; team learning; wood-based material; role of designer; semi-structured interview; ecolabels; management systems; participatory action research; sustainability assessment;

    Sammanfattning : Companies need to develop more sustainable products that fit into future more sustainable markets. For this reason, the integration of sustainability considerations is needed in the early stages of product development, where a major part of the sustainability performance of a final product is determined.

  5. 4. Facts and Interpretations in Environmental Assessments of Products

    Författare :Magnus Bengtsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wastewater systems; weighting; learning; decision making; legitimacy; environmental trade-offs; sewage sludge; life cycle assessment LCA ; controversy; environmental evaluation;

    Sammanfattning : Contemporary environmental discourse increasingly emphasises environmental impacts associated with products. In response to this attention, methods for assessing the impacts of products over their life cycles, life cycle assessment (LCA), have been devised. LÄS MER
