Low Energy Subsurface Environments as Extraterrestrial Analogs

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Earth’s subsurface is often isolated from phototrophic energy sources and characterized by chemotrophic modes of life. These environments are often oligotrophic and limited in electron donors or electron acceptors, and include continental crust ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Enabling Sustainability in Local Food Supply Chains: A Life Cycle Assessment‐Based Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to escalating environmental and food security challenges, this study explores how Local Food Systems (LFS) and Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) can be redesigned to support sustainability goals. Drawing on a case study of a microalgae‐based food producer, the research applies a Resource Nexus Approach combined with Life Cycle ...

Achieve Sustainability by Easing Population to 4 Billion by 2200

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The past century of massive increases in human population and resource use has seen many undesirable environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change. But a research gap exists, as the ultimate causes are often not described with precision or mentioned at all.

Cultivating Sustainability: How Modern Food Practices Shape Pro‐Environmental Motivation Through Food–Nature Associations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food practices have evolved alongside industrialization and urbanization. Compared to earlier generations, modern individuals grow and cook food less often and consume more processed products, weakening awareness of food's natural origins. Three studies examined explanatory pathways linking food practices to pro‐environmentalism through the ...
