Rent extraction from fossil energy and mineral extraction activities are (unsurprisingly) correlated with increased greenhouse gas emissions; interestingly though rents from coral reefs are correlated wtih decreased greenhouse gas emissions. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... 12/250

Decarbonized electric grids were not automatically more resilient to shocks in natural gas prices following Russia's invasion of The Ukraine. What matters more is the dispatch-ability of those low-emission electric sources. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 11/250

The methods used to develop spatial distributions of populations can really impact environmental justice analysis; but simpler methods (areal weighting) may be as good as the most accurate (dasymetric mapping). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 10/250

Only rarely have announced green hydrogen projects been completed on time in recent history. It's also unlikely that green hydrogen projects will be cost competitive with fossil fuel projects without carbon taxes (or extremely expensive subsidies). www.nature.com/articles/s41... 9/250

The Energy Return on Investment (ERoI) can be a useful measure to compare different energy sources, but there are several methodological improvements and changes to its interpretation that need to happen for it to be an accurate measure. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 8/250

There is real potential for wastewater treatment to benefit from lower-carbon grids, but such benefits will not be uniformly distributed, with the Ohio Valley and Rocky Mountain regions needing creative solutions to address Scope 2 emissions. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... 7/250

Funders are recognizing a need to incentivize and support community-engaged research over the entire funding life-cycle, and are developing and implementing best practices to enable it. www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1... 6/250

Public support for CCUS is dependent on how people perceive the tradeoff between global benefits vs. the local risks they would face and their level of trust in government to effectively oversee and regulate CCUS deployment. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 5/250

City climate action plans often focus on solutions one sector at a time, neglecting potential solutions (or complications) that span sectors. The food-energy-water nexus framework provides a tool to think in systems, even as few cities incorporate it fully.

There is substantial temporal variability in hourly #electricity generation. New data will allow us to account for that in understanding #carbon and #water footprints for systems that use electricity. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... 3/250

The scenarios we use for climate forecasting represent snapshots of policy and economic conditions, so they can be interesting ways of studying how these have conditions have changed in recent years. Changes include lower costs for renewables & economic costs. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 2/250

Rare earth elements are not all the same, with different factors affecting their supply and demand. As a result, criticality assessments that differentiate them are essential for developing policies that ensure reliable supplies. #REEs #sustainability onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... 1/250
