Topics

Our planet is currently subjected to many anthropogenic pressures, whether climate change or biodiversity loss. Within my research, I seek indicators of these pressures and pathways to achieve sustainability within Planetary Boundaries. For my research, I primarily employ life cycle assessment methodology in combination with other environmental analysis methods.
