1. Entering the dynamic risk space : Assessing planetary boundary interactions through process-based quantifications
Sammanfattning : The planetary boundaries framework is an effort to define a safe operating space for humanity. Its rationale is that sustainable development needs to be achieved in ways that safeguard the stability of the Earth system on which human prosperity relies. LÄS MER
2. Electron-scale physics in space plasma : Thin boundaries and magnetic reconnection
Sammanfattning : Most of the observable Universe consists of plasma, a kind of ionized gas that interacts with electric and magnetic fields. Large volumes of space are filled with relatively uniform plasmas that convect with the magnetic field. LÄS MER
3. Navigating towards the Safe Operating Space: Systems thinking and the SDGs
Sammanfattning : Can the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals be reached within the Planetary Boundaries? This licentiate thesis aims to explore this question by navigating towards the safe operating space, as defined by the planetary boundaries, through integrating issues, disciplines, scales, models and stakeholders. The thesis is a milestone within the European Union financed project “Adaptation to a New Economic Reality (AdaptEconII)”. LÄS MER
4. Life cycle assessment in the development of forest products : Contributions to improved methods and practices
Sammanfattning : The prospect of reducing environmental impacts is a key driver for the research and development (R&D) of new forest products. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is often used for assessing the environmental impact of such products, e.g. for the purpose of guiding R&D. LÄS MER
5. In silico methods to prioritize chemicals with high exposure potential
Sammanfattning : Chemicals offer a wide range of desired functions and are used in a variety of consumer goods and industrial sectors. The number of individual synthetic organic chemicals produced and the total global chemical production volume are increasing. LÄS MER
