Cultured, or in vitro, meat consists of edible biomass grown from animal stem cells a factory, carnery. In the coming decades, vitro cultivation could enable production without need to raise livestock. Using an anticipatory life cycle analysis framework, study described herein examines environmental implications this emerging technology and compares results with published impacts beef, pork, poultry, another speculative cultured biomass. While uncertainty ranges are large, findings suggest...
Reverse supply chains for the reuse, recycling, and disposal of goods are globalizing. This article critically reviews environmental, economic, social issues associated with international reuse recycling personal computers. Computers other e-waste often exported abroad. On environmental side, our analysis suggests that risk leaching toxic materials in computers from well-managed sanitary landfills is very small. hand, there an increasing body scientific evidence impacts informal developing...
As technologies rapidly progress, there is growing evidence that our civil infrastructure do not have the capacity to adaptively and reliably deliver services in face of rapid changes demand, conditions service, environmental conditions. Infrastructure are facing multiple challenges including inflexible physical assets, unstable insufficient funding, maturation, utilization, increasing interdependencies, climate change, social awareness, coupled technology systems, lack transdisciplinary...
Abstract Infrastructure are at the center of three trends: accelerating human activities, increasing uncertainty in social, technological, and climatological factors, complexity systems themselves environments which they operate. Resilience theory can help infrastructure managers navigate complexity. Engineering framings resilience will need to evolve beyond robustness consider adaptation transformation, ability handle surprise. Agility flexibility both physical assets governance be...

It is critical to understand environmental impacts embodied in the bilateral trade between China and United States, given political, economic, geographical importance of two countries fact that few studies have investigated this before. This article impacts, particularly energy consumption air emissions, eastbound (from U.S.) from 2002 2007 using an input−output analysis technique adjusted data.

The environmental implications of cultured meat are profound. An anticipatory life cycle assessment published in 2011 suggested it could have a smaller impact than agricultural all categories except energy consumption. As with most technologies, will almost certainly be accompanied by unintended consequences as well unforeseen costs and benefits that accrue disproportionately to different stakeholders. Uncertainty associated new engineered products cannot completely eliminated prior...
Abstract For centuries, man‐made infrastructure has been viewed as separate from natural systems. Yet in the past few scale and scope of human activities have dramatically increased, there is accumulating evidence that systems are becoming increasingly, some cases entirely, managed by humans. The dichotomy between environment narrowing, increasingly design spaces. This already apparent with management hydrologic for urban water supply, wildlife, agriculture, forests, even atmosphere, we can...
Infrastructure are increasingly being recognized as too rigid to quickly adapt a changing climate and non-stationary future. This rigidness poses risks infrastructure service delivery public welfare. Adaptivity in is critical for managing uncertainties continue providing services, yet little known about how can be made more agile flexible improved adaptive capacity. A literature review identified approximately fifty examples of novel technologies which support adaptivity through one or ten...
