On the optimality of 2°C targets and a decomposition of uncertainty

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Determining attractive response strategies for international climate policy is a complex task. Here, the authors develop a meta-model that disentangles the main uncertainties using full literature ranges and use it to directly compare the insights of the

Using Decomposition Analysis to Determine the Main Contributing Factors to Carbon Neutrality across Sectors

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
This paper uses decomposition analysis to investigate the key contributions to changes in greenhouse gas emissions in different scenarios. We derive decomposition formulas for the three highest-emitting sectors: power generation, industry, and ...

Revitalising PBL Groups: Evaluating PBL with Study Teams [PDF]

open access: yesEducation for Health, 2005
In problem-based learning (PBL), students are actively engaged with psychological learning principles as activation of prior knowledge, elaboration and organization of knowledge. In their tutorial groups, however, students do not always apply these principles when working with a procedure like the "Seven-Jump" method. To stimulate students to use these

Climate change mitigation and SDGs: modelling the regional potential of promising mitigation measures and assessing their impact on other SDGs

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Environmental Sciences, 2022
Measures that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions also have impacts on achieving other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the enormous challenge of achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and the SDGs, insight into these impacts provides ...

Modeling compound flood risk and risk reduction using a globally applicable framework: a pilot in the Sofala province of Mozambique [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
In low-lying coastal areas floods occur from (combinations of) fluvial, pluvial, and coastal drivers. If these flood drivers are statistically dependent, their joint probability might be misrepresented if dependence is not accounted for.
