Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a central role in communicating for sustainability, both on and off campus. This study analyzes how top HEIs, listed in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Ranking 2023, communicate sustainability initiatives on their websites, comparing them with Portuguese HEIs and proposing a website model for the Open University (UAb). 22 international HEIs with a ranking above ...
This report summarizes the outcomes of the IBISurvey citizen science project, focusing on reported interactions involving exotic bird species introduced in Europe during the period 2021–2023.
O artigo caracteriza tipologicamente três dolia completos, recuperados na zona ribeirinha da cidade romana de Salacia, actual Alcácer do Sal.
Urban ecosystems are suitable for the introduction and spread of alien bird species, and early detection of their establishment and expansion is crucial to reduce potential negative impacts. In this context, the use of opportunistic citizen science data can have considerable advantages in relation to conventional scientific approaches. We gathered records of parakeets and parrots (Psittaciformes) and mynas and ...
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar a coleção de dolia provenientes de dois contextos arqueológicos romanos do concelho de Fronteira (Portugal) – a villa da Horta da Torre (2012-2019) e o sítio de São Pedro (2000-2005), incluindo a área junto à Igreja de São Pedro. Foram caracterizados e classificados tipologicamente um total de 37 fragmentos. Com o objetivo de identificar o conteúdo dos dolia, fora...
O presente artigo expõe uma súmula embrionária sobre a presença de dolia no espaço lusitano, desde a República até à Antiguidade Tardia, com natural focus no Período Imperial. Para além de um estado da arte sobre os trabalhos realizados a nível trans-provincial, na Hispania,na Gallia e na Italia, apresenta-se a base empírica publicada sobre os centros de produção potenciais (arquitecturas e formas produzidas) e...
The urgency in mitigating the climate change effects and the expecting rise of energy consumption in the coming decades will require zero-carbon sources like renewables, fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage, and sustainable storage solutions like underground gas storage. Hydrogen geological storage in porous rock formations is expected to play a major role for sustainable energy systems, offering large-...
This study, part of the H2GeoStore R&D project, investigates underground hydrogen storage in saline aquifers as a solution for large-scale, long-term energy storage to support renewable energy systems. Using reservoir simulations of cyclic hydrogen injection and withdrawal under various conditions and reservoir heterogeneities, the research evaluates performance metrics like injectivity, productivity, and stora...
This study presents the construction of a 3D static geological model with uncertainty assessment for the Q4-TV1 prospect in the offshore northern Lusitanian Basin, Portugal, as part of the PilotSTRATEGY project. Using seismic interpretation, well data, and petrophysical logs, lithofacies and reservoir properties were simulated with geostatistical algorithms in Aspen SKUA. The models reproduced the geological fr...
This study, conducted within the PilotSTRATEGY project, explores the optimization of CO₂ injection under geological uncertainties in the Q4-TV1 prospect of the offshore Lusitanian Basin, Portugal. A static model integrating seismic and well data was coupled with dynamic simulations in the Big Loop framework, combining Bayesian optimization with uncertainty analysis. Geological risks, including intersecting faul...
