Abstract The pervasiveness of microplastics in global oceans is raising concern about their impacts on organisms. While quantifying their toxicity is still an open issue, sampling evidence has shown that rarely are marine microplastics found clean; rather, they are ofte...

Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2, R744) is a natural working fluid with interesting thermophysical properties that have stimulated strong attention by the academic and industrial communities for a broad range of energy applications. The technology readiness level of CO2-bas...

The seagrass Posidonia oceanica is a benthic foundation species endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. It is a key component of coastal seascapes across the Mediterranean large marine ecosystem, where it plays fundamental ecological, physical, and economic roles. Despite the...

The value of streamflow forecasts to inform water infrastructure operations has been extensively studied. Yet, their value in informing infrastructure design is still unexplored. In this work, we i...

The harsh lockdown measures that marked the response to the COVID-19 outbreak in the Italian region of Lombardy provides a unique natural experiment for assessing the sensitivity of local air pollution to emissions. However, evaluating the pollution benefits of the lock...

The goal of the paper is to develop an online forecasting procedure to be adopted within the H2020 InteGRIDy project, where the main objective is to use the photovoltaic (PV) forecast for optimizing the configuration of a distribution network (DN). Real-time measurement...
