Methodology of Regionalization

This ongoing project looks at regionalization in life cycle assessment, including developing regionalized inventories, impact assessment methods, the computational methodology of regionalized LCA, GIS-based regionalized LCA software, and methods for assessing the needs for regionalized LCA.
