The Global Yield Gap Atlas project (GYGA - http://yieldgap.org ) has undertaken a yield gap assessment following the protocol recommended by van Ittersum et. al. (van Ittersum et. al., 2013). This datafile holds the results for rainfed rice.

This dataset and codebook correspond to the second round of survey data gathered in Denmark in 2023, within the project FULFILL - Fundamental Decarbonisation Through Sufficiency By Lifestyle Changes. As part of Work Package 3 (WP3) in the FULFILL project, we collected quantitative data from six countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, and India. The first round of the survey, consisted of recruiting a representative sample of approximately 2000 households in each country. In this second survey round, we recruit around 500 respondents from the initial survey round, ensuring representativity is maintained. This survey is very similar to the survey in the first round and includes a lot of identical items, including a quantitative assessment of the carbon footprint in the housing, mobility, and diet sectors, socio-economic factors such as age, gender, income, education, household size, life stage, and political orientation. Furthermore, the survey includes measures of quality of life, encompassing aspects such as health and well-being, environmental quality, financial security, and comfort. New for this second round, we have incorporated questions regarding the measures respondents adopted in response to the 2022 energy crisis.

Fashion products made from repurposed materials (e.g., backpacks made from pineapple leaves) have become more prevalent nowadays, and their environmental sustainability is one of the core advantages. Yet, it is currently unclear how consumers respond to products made from repurposed materials. We conducted three experiments to examine the effects of three material features, namely function, sustainability, and distinguishability, on consumer preferences for fashion products made from repurposed materials. The results indicate that, when the function of repurposed materials is as good as that of conventional materials, consumers prefer a product made from repurposed materials over the same product made from conventional materials. Also, consumers in general prefer repurposed materials to be less visually distinguishable. Finally, when the sustainability of the repurposed products is emphasized, consumers appear more likely to choose products made from repurposed materials, even when these products have an inferior function. In conclusion, to promote fashion products made from repurposed materials, marketers may emphasize the function and sustainability of repurposed materials, and producers may manufacture repurposed materials that visually resemble conventional materials.

This database includes more than 100 decarbonisation innovations in Paper, Plastic, Steel and Meat & Dairy sectors, across their value chains, as well as in Finance. For each innovation there is a description, information about its contribution to decarbonisation, actors and collaborators involved, sources of funding, drivers, (co)benefits and disadvantages. More information on the method for selecting innovations for the database is available here. The database was created as part of REINVENT – a Horizon 2020 research project funded by the European Commission (grant agreement 730053). REINVENT involves five research institutions from four countries: Lund University (Sweden), Durham University (United Kingdom), Wuppertal Institute (Germany), PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (the Netherlands) and Utrecht University (the Netherlands).

This data publication provides two datasets of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates sampled during the MomarSat 2022 cruise. One dataset was gathered with a deep autonomous Vertical Microstructure Profiler (VMP-6000). The second dataset was gathered with the MicroRiYo mooring as described in the reference paper (Ferron et al. 2024). The two datasets, one for each instrument, are available as tar files. Each tar file contains fourteen NetCDF files. Each NetCDF file contains the dissipation rate profile, the time (UTC) of the profile start, the geographical position (deployment of the VMP or mooring position), and the mean pressure for each dissipation rate estimate (two estimates at each pressure level from the two shear sensors). Each dissipation rate comes with a quality control matrix QC (14 x 4) that characterizes how the associated mean shear spectrum fitted the expected theoretical Nasmyth spectrum: QC( 1:10, 1 ) : Value of the 10 criteria used (see reference paper) for the dissipation rates of shear 1. QC( 1:10, 2 ): Criteria met (=1) or not met (=0) for shear 1 dissipation rates. QC(11,1): Same criteria as QC(10,1) expressed in terms of mean absolute deviation (MAD) instead of variance (see Lueck et al. 2022) (shear 1). QC(11,2): state whether criteria QC(11,1) is met (=1) or not met (=0) (shear 1). QC(12,1): Number of shear spectra averaged to compute one dissipation rate estimate (shear 1). QC(12,2): Number of accelerometer used to remove vibrations (Goodman et al. 2006; Lueck et al. 2022; Ferron et al. 2023) (shear 1) QC(13,1): MAD (shear 1) QC(13,2): unused QC(14,1): index of first used spectral component to compute the shear variance used in the dissipation rate estimate (shear 1). QC(14,2): index of last used spectral component to compute the shear variance used in the dissipation rate estimate (shear 1). QC(:,3): same as QC(:,1) for shear 2. QC(:,4): same as QC(:,2) for shear 2. Shear data were processed following the processing flow chart of the Atomix SCOR Working Group 160 (https://wiki.app.uib.no/atomix/index.php?title=Flow_chart_for_shear_probes).

Geoven (http://www.geoven.fr) is a geothermal power-plant project led by Fonroche Géothermie (now Arverne). The project is implemented on the site of the Rhenan Ecoparc at Vendenheim, North of Strasbourg. The future geothermal power-plant was expected to produce 6 MW of electrical energy and 40 MW of thermal energy. To this end, two wells were used to draw the hot water and reinject it at more than four thousand meters deep.

The Aneto Glacier, is the largest glacier in the Pyrenees. Its shrinkage and wastage have been continuous in recent decades, and there are signs of accelerated melting in recent years. In this study, changes in the surface and ice thickness of the Aneto Glacier from 1981 to 2022 are investigated using historical aerial imagery, airborne LiDAR point clouds, and UAV imagery. A GPR survey conducted in 2020, combined with data from photogrammetric analyses, allowed us to reconstruct the current ice thickness and also the existing ice distribution in 1981 and 2011. Over the last 41 years, the total glaciated area has shrunk by 64.7% and the ice thickness has decreased, on average, by 30.5 m. The mean remaining ice thickness in autumn 2022 was 11.9 m, as against the mean thicknesses of 32.9 m, 19.2 m reconstructed for 1981 and 2011 and 15.0 m observed in 2020 respectively. The results demonstrate the critical situation of the glacier, with an imminent segmentation into two smaller ice bodies and no evidence of an accumulation zone. We also found that the occurrence of an extremely hot and dry year, as observed in the 2021–2022 season, leads to a drastic degradation of the glacier, posing a high risk to the persistence of the Aneto Glacier, a situation that could extend to the rest of the Pyrenean glaciers in a relatively short time.
