Integrating Multidisciplinary Observations in Vent Environments (IMOVE): Decadal Progress in Deep-Sea Observatories at Hydrothermal Vents

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The unique ecosystems and biodiversity associated with mid-ocean ridge (MOR) hydrothermal vent systems contrast sharply with surrounding deep-sea habitats, however both may be increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activity (e.g., mining activities at ...

The status and future of essential geodiversity variables

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
Rapid environmental change, natural resource overconsumption and increasing concerns about ecological sustainability have led to the development of ‘Essential Variables' (EVs). EVs are harmonized data products to inform policy and to enable effective management of natural resources by monitoring global changes.

Understanding Instrumental Variables in Models with Essential Heterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2006
Abstract This paper examines the properties of instrumental variables (IV) applied to models with essential heterogeneity, that is, models where responses to interventions are heterogeneous and agents adopt treatments (participate in programs) with at least partial knowledge of their idiosyncratic response.

The essentiality of Essential Biodiversity Variables: implementation in nature conservation policies

open access: yes, 2022
Biological diversity on Earth is in decline. The current decline in biodiversity has been called (the onset of) the sixth mass extinction. Land cover change causes deforestation and loss of other ecosystems, such as wetlands, resulting in a lossof crucial habitats for various species. The importance of biodiversity for life on Earth, valued for its own

Tailoring evidence into action: Using a co‐design approach for biodiversity information in the Tropical Andes

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2023
Biodiversity conservation is a complex and transdisciplinary problem that requires engagement and cooperation among scientific, societal, economic, and political institutions. However, historical approaches have often failed to bring together and address
