Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Reconciling Estimates of Ocean Heating and Earth’s Radiation Budget [PDF]

Current Climate Change Reports, 2017
The purpose of this review is to summarise the recent literature and scientific challenges on the topic of reconciling estimates of ocean heating rates with satellite-based monitoring of Earth's radiation budget (ERB), including discussion of the satellite record and in situ ocean observing system.State-of-the-art climate model simulations suggest that

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Numerical Focusing of a Wide Field-of-View Instrument for Monitoring the Planetary Energy Budget

Proceedings, 2019
Wide field-of-view optical instruments based on Ritchey-Crétien telescopes have been proposed to replace narrow field-of-view scanning instruments for Earth radiation budget monitoring applications.

Earth reflector type classification based on multispectral remote sensing image [PDF]

, 2018
Earth’s reflectivity is one of the key parameters of climate change, Earth’s radiation budget research and so on. It is determined by the characteristic of Earth atmosphere components.

Sustainability Assessment of Circular Strategies in the Agri‐Food Industry: The Case of Olive Mills' By‐Product Valorization

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study integrates multidimensional sustainability indicators into a unified assessment approach to evaluate circular strategies in agri‐food industry businesses. This methodological approach is applied to empirically examine the case of the olive oil industry's by‐product valorization.

Monitoring the Global Top-of-Atmosphere Shortwave Radiation Flux with Deep Space-Based Earth Observations

Journal of Remote Sensing
The top-of-atmosphere (TOA) Earth-reflected shortwave radiation flux is a crucial component of the Earth’s radiation budget (ERB). The Earth polychromatic imaging camera onboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR/EPIC) provides a unique Earth ...

Ten year radiation budget of the Earth: 1984–93

International Journal of Climatology, 2004
AbstractA 10 year (1984–93) climatology is given of the global distributions of net shortwave (SW), net longwave (LW) and net all‐wave radiation budget at both top‐of‐atmosphere (TOA) and at the Earth's surface, on a mean monthly basis, computed with a radiative transfer model with input data for key atmospheric and surface parameters.
