Are you working on sustainability of roads?
Our new #LCA paper quantifies environmental impacts of pavement rehabilitation methods.
Spoiler: material circularity can reduce GHGs but may increase water use

Weirdly, a paper I resubmitted following major revision got sent to a different reviewer, who asked for very different modifications, and the original set of reviewers did not see our substantial changes. Why would an editor do this?

A study published in Ecological Economics, reveals that over 6 billion liters of milk have been wasted in Canada due to dairy production regulations. The research highlights environmental, economic, and nutritional impacts of this waste. scft.link/65iR4
“ "Systemic inefficiencies" in Canada’s supply management system have led to billions of litres of milk going to waste since 2012, according to a new study published in the journal Ecological Economics.” ctvnews.ca/canada/billions-o…
New paper alert! My colleagues Benjamin Goldstein and Sylvain Charlebois and I estimate the volume and environmental impacts of surplus milk controversially dumped on Canadian dairy farms⤵️
Counterpoint: a steep wealth tax, combined with our ability to reign in the power of 🐂💩-spouting billionaires, will dramatically reduce all GHG emissions and biodiversity loss, "making every single last aspect of our lives better."
Bill Gates: Artificial intelligence, combined with "our ability to edit genes", will enable us to dramatically reduce methane emissions by "making the cows better".
Very happy to have our second paper out in a week. #Climate Substitution Factors quantify the merits of using wood-based products instead of emission-intensive products. We explored a range of construction (pictured) and bioenegy SF's here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.20…

We must end industrial ag.
We must end deforestation & wetland drainage.
We must end atmospheric colonization.
We must end private luxury & public austerity.
We must end the capitalist mode of production.
Every mitigated increment of Earths systems collapse is imperative.
MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.
For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

A short rant provoked by the vast number of research positions focusing solely on urban sustainability …
Enhancing urban sustainability without abolishing cities' exploitation of the land & labor of rural peripheries is unjust, ecologically untenable, & politically fatal. 1/
Very happy to announce that I've taken up a #MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship at @aalborg_uni Denmark, working with Massimo Pizzol @m_outreach. Started the week with this boat tour on the fjord!
