Characterizing the multisectoral impacts of future global hydrologic variability
There is significant uncertainty in how global water supply will evolve in the future, due to uncertain climate, socioeconomic, and land use change drivers and variability of hydrologic processes. It is critical to characterize the potential impacts of uncertainty in future water supply given its importance for food and energy production. In this work, we introduce a framework that integrates stochastic hydrology and human-environmental systems t…
Hydropower expansion in eco-sensitive river basins under global energy-economic change
Global peak water limit of future groundwater withdrawals

Agricultural market integration preserves future global water resources
Traded agricultural goods redistribute water, virtually, around the world to satisfy unmet demands while limiting excess water extraction in importing regions. However, gaps remain in our understanding of how alternative international trade regimes may alter agricultural water demands, locally and virtually. Here, we explore global agricultural water savings and virtual water trade impacts of such trade regimes under reference and low-carbon scen…
Long-term basin-scale hydropower expansion under alternative scenarios in a global multisector model
Hydropower is an important source of renewable, low-carbon energy. Global and regional energy systems, including hydropower, may evolve in a variety of ways under different scenarios. Representation of hydropower in global multisector models is often simplified at the country or regional level. Some models assume a fixed hydropower supply, which is not affected by economic drivers or competition with other electricity generation sources. Here, we…
The implications of uncertain renewable resource potentials for global wind and solar electricity projections
Studies exploring long-term energy system transitions rely on resource cost-supply curves derived from estimates of renewable energy (RE) potentials to generate wind and solar power projections. However, estimates of RE potentials are characterized by large uncertainties stemming from methodological assumptions that vary across studies, including factors such as the suitability of land and the performance and configuration of technology. Based on…
Future evolution of virtual water trading in the United States electricity sector
Future transformations in the electricity sector could entail major shifts in power sector technology mixes and electricity trade, with consequences for the trading of virtual water. Previous virtual water trade studies largely focus on historical timeframes. We explore, for the first time, future—through 2050—virtual water trade driven by electricity trade under a range of future electricity sector transformation scenarios using the United State…
The future evolution of energy-water-agriculture interconnectivity across the US
Energy, water, and agricultural resources across the globe are highly interconnected. This interconnectivity poses science challenges, such as understanding and modeling interconnections, as well as practical challenges, such as efficiently managing interdependent resource systems. Using the US as an example, this study seeks to define and explore how interconnectivity evolves over space and time under a range of influences. Concepts from graph t…
Sterblichkeit – Fluch oder Segen: Menschliche Lebensbegrenzung zwischen Fortschrittsgläubigkeit und Kulturpessimismus
Der Beitrag setzt sich mit den theologischen Implikationen rund um die Sterblichkeit auseinander. Die Überlegungen greifen auf jene hebräisch-jüdischen Traditionen zurück, die Vergänglichkeit nicht einer verfehlten, defizitären Schöpfung anlasten, sondern sie als Bedingungen anthropologischer Entwicklung verstehen. Die Auseinandersetzung hinterfragt die alten und neuen, die verborgenen und manifesten Imperative eines guten Sterbens, die im Schlep…
Integrated energy-water-land nexus planning to guide national policy: An example from Uruguay
Despite broad consensus on the benefits of a nexus approach to multi-sector planning, actual implementation in government and other decision-making institutions is still rare. This study presents an approach to conducting integrated energy-water-land (EWL) planning, using Uruguay as an example. This stakeholder-driven study focuses on assessing the EWL nexus implications of actual planned policies aimed at strengthening three of Uruguay’s key exp…
