DESCRIPTION:Dr. Stefan Pauliuk\, Faculty for Environment and Natural Resou
 rces\, University of Freiburg\, Germany\nStefan Pauliuk is an expert for m
 ethod development to assess sustainable development strategies. He works w
 ith supply chain analysis and scenario modelling for sustainable material 
 futures. In this talk\, he provides an overview of current research in mat
 erial flow analysis (MFA). Materials are the building blocks of a modern l
 ifestyle and of many technology-related sustainable development strategies
 . Material cycles\, including the mining\, refining\, manufacturing\, use\
 , waste management\, and recycling stages of materials\, are important lin
 kages in socioeconomic metabolism. Studying material cycles gives insight 
 into future material and natural resource demand\, the potential for recyc
 ling\, the potential for material efficiency at the different stages of th
 e cycle\, and the impact of material use on the climate\, water\, and ecos
 ystems. Stefan Pauliuk will present an account of the ongoing research and
  practical outcomes\, focussing mostly on scenario-based dynamic MFA\, as 
 well as a report on the current status of theory\, model\, and database de
 velopment in the field is given\, embedding MFA into the wider field of in
 dustrial ecology research.\n\nStefan Pauliuk is an assistant professor for
  sustainable material and energy flow management at the Faculty for Enviro
 nment and Natural Resources\, University of Freiburg\, Germany.\n\nSandwic
 hes and drinks are provided.
