Life-Cycle-Oriented Framework for Seaport Infrastructure Maintenance and Climate Change Adaptation
(Corresponding) Tsaimou C., Chalastani V., Tsoukala V.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Life-cycle considerations are a prerequisite for rational seaport engineering design and planning since they actually retain seaports’ resilience and operational effectiveness. However, the current climate crisis poses threats to the resilience of existing seaport infrastructure, leading to...Read more

Environmental LCA and Carbon Footprint of Cauliflower as Produced in Southeast Spain
Rasines L., San Miguel G., Molina-García Á., Artés-Hernández F., Hontoria E., (Corresponding) Aguayo E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Southern Spain has an optimal climate for growing fruits and vegetables. Over 39,534 ha are currently dedicated to the production of cauliflower and broccoli in Spain, 33% of which correspond to the Region of Murcia. This type of intensive agriculture causes environmental impacts which must be...Read more

Applying Product Social Impact Assessment (PSIA) to services: the case study of a higher education and research institution
(Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., IBARRA-GRANDE A., MEROLA-MORESCHI D.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Applying the Product Social Impact Assessment (PSIA) methodology to evaluate the social performance of a service such as that provided by a higher education and research institution is not straightforward. This is mainly due to the lack of materiality of the system, which makes it unfeasible to...Read more
