  • Life cycle assessment of emerging technologies

    Open AccessJoule Bergerson, Joule A Bergerson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2020

    Life cycle assessment (LCA) analysts are increasingly being asked to conduct life cycle‐based systems level analysis at the earliest stages of technology development. While early assessments provide the greatest opportunity to influence design and ultimately environmental performance, it is the stage with the least available data, greatest uncertainty, and a paucity of analytic tools for addressing these challenges. While the fundamental approach…

  • Resilience and efficiency in transportation networks

    Open AccessAlexander A Ganin, Maksim Kitsak et al.ARTICLEScience Advances2017

    Comparing traffic delays finds that some cities with efficient road networks are less resilient than inefficient cities.

  • Normalization in Comparative Life Cycle Assessment to Support Environmental Decision Making

    Open AccessStefano Cucurachi, Thomas P Seager et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2017

  • Tradeoff Evaluation Improves Comparative Life Cycle Assessment

    Open AccessValentina Prado, Valentina Prado‐Lopez et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2016

    Current life cycle assessment (LCA) interpretation practices typically emphasize hotspot identification and improvement assessment. However, these interpretation practices fail in the context of a decision‐driven comparative LCA where the goal is to select the best option from a set of dissimilar alternatives. Interpretation of comparative LCA results requires understanding of the trade‐offs between alternatives—instances in which one alternative…

  • Mapping the integrative field

    Open AccessErik Fisher, Michael O’rourke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Responsible Innovation2015

    Responsible innovation requires that scientific and other expert practices be responsive to society. We take stock of a variety of collaborative approaches to socio-technical integration that seek to broaden the societal contexts technical experts take into account during their routine activities. Part of a larger family of engaged scholarship that includes inter- and trans-disciplinarity as well as stakeholder and public engagement, we distingui…

  • Anticipatory life-cycle assessment for responsible research and innovation

    Open AccessBen A Wender, Rider W Foley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Responsible Innovation2014

    The goal of guiding innovation toward beneficial social and environmental outcomes – referred to in the growing literature as responsible research and innovation (RRI) – is intuitively worthwhile but lacks practicable tools for implementation. One potentially useful tool is life-cycle assessment (LCA), which is a comprehensive framework used to evaluate the environmental impacts of products, processes, and technologies. However, LCA ineffectively…

  • Information and Communication Technology for Industrial Symbiosis

    Open AccessGabriel Bauchat Grant, Thomas P Seager et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2010

    Industrial symbiosis describes the mutualistic interaction of different industries for beneficial reuse of waste flows or energy cascading that results in a more resource‐efficient production system and fewer adverse environmental impacts. Research shows that many information and communication technology (ICT) tools for industrial symbiosis development have been created, but the results of those efforts are unclear. Drawing from advancements in k…

  • Coupling Multicriteria Decision Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment for Nanomaterials

    Open AccessThomas P Seager, Igor LinkovARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2008

  • Application of multicriteria decision analysis in environmental decision making

    Open AccessGregory A Kiker, Todd S Bridges et al.ARTICLEIntegrated Environmental…2005

    Decision making in environmental projects can be complex and seemingly intractable, principally because of the inherent trade-offs between sociopolitical, environmental, ecological, and economic factors. The selection of appropriate remedial and abatement strategies for contaminated sites, land use planning, and regulatory processes often involves multiple additional criteria such as the distribution of costs and benefits, environmental impacts f…

  • An Introduction to Science Studies

    Open AccessJohn Ziman, John M Ziman et al.BOOKIntroduction to Science Studies1984

    The purpose of this book is to give a coherent account of the different perspectives on science and technology that are normally studied under various disciplinary heads such as philosophy of science, sociology of science and science policy. It is intended for students embarking on courses in these subjects and assumes no special knowledge of any science. It is written in a direct and simple style, and technical language is introduced very sparin…
