Journal ArticleDOI
Do indoor pollutants and thermal conditions in schools influence student performance? A critical review of the literature
Mark J. Mendell,Garvin Heath +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, evidence suggests that poor IEQ in schools is common and adversely influences the performance and attendance of students, primarily through health effects from indoor pollutants.
Technical Summary
Edgar G. Hertwich,Thomas Gibon,Anders Arvesen,Peter Layer,Evert A. Bouman,Garvin Heath,A. Ramirez,Sangwon Suh +7 more
TL;DR: The role of the actin cytoskeleton in cell-cell fusion has drawn special attention in many recent studies, and the properties of these larger pores and the mechanisms that underlie the enlargement of cytoplasmic bridges from early fusion pores to syncytia are poorly known.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane leaks from North American natural gas systems
Adam R. Brandt,Garvin Heath,Eric A. Kort,Francis O'Sullivan,Gabrielle Pétron,Gabrielle Pétron,Sarah M. Jordaan,P. P. Tans,Jennifer Wilcox,Avi Gopstein,Douglas J. Arent,Douglas J. Arent,Steven C. Wofsy,N. J. Brown,R. Bradley,Galen D. Stucky,Douglas M. Eardley,Robert Harriss +17 more
TL;DR: Methane emissions from U.S. and Canadian natural gas systems appear larger than official estimates, and global atmospheric CH4 concentrations are on the rise, with the causes still poorly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioenergy and climate change mitigation: an assessment.
Felix Creutzig,N. H. Ravindranath,Göran Berndes,Simon Bolwig,Ryan M. Bright,Francesco Cherubini,Helena L. Chum,Esteve Corbera,Mark A. Delucchi,André Faaij,Joseph Fargione,Helmut Haberl,Helmut Haberl,Garvin Heath,Oswaldo Lucon,Richard J. Plevin,Alexander Popp,Carmenza Robledo-Abad,Steven K. Rose,Pete Smith,Anders Hammer Strømman,Sangwon Suh,Omar Masera +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors bring together perspectives of various communities involved in the research and regulation of bioenergy deployment in the context of climate change mitigation: Land-use and energy experts, land use and integrated assessment modelers, human geographers, ecosystem researchers, climate scientists and two different strands of life-cycle assessment experts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated life-cycle assessment of electricity-supply scenarios confirms global environmental benefit of low-carbon technologies.
Edgar G. Hertwich,Thomas Gibon,Evert A. Bouman,Anders Arvesen,Sangwon Suh,Garvin Heath,Joseph D. Bergesen,Andrea Ramirez,Mabel Vega,Lei Shi +9 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the first global, integrated life-cycle assessment of the large-scale implementation of climate-mitigation technologies, addressing the feedback of the electricity system onto itself and using scenario-consistent assumptions of technical improvements in key energy and material production technologies.
