Author Biographies

Ralph K. Rosenbaum LCA expert and environmental modeller focusing on LCIA development
since early 2000s. Contributed to several UNEP/SETAC working groups towards global
harmonisation of LCA methodology. Interested in LCIA modelling of emissions and water/soil
resource use, operationalisation of uncertainty management and spatial differentiation.

Michael Hauschild Involved in development of LCIA methodology since the early 1990s. Has led
several SETAC and UNEP/SETAC working groups and participated in the development of the
ISO standards and the ILCD methodological guidelines. Main LCA interests are chemical impacts,
spatial differentiation and science-based boundaries in LCIA.

Anne-Marie Boulay LCA and water footprint expert focusing on water use impacts assessment in
LCA since 2008. Chaired UNEP/SETAC and FAO working groups towards harmonisation of
water use impact assessment methodologies, and has been involved in ISO standards development
on water footprint, providing training on the topic for UNEP and ISO worldwide.

Peter Fantke Develops methods for LCIA, health impact assessment and chemical alternatives
assessment since 2006. Has contributed to UNEP/SETAC LCIA working groups and is USEtox
Manager. Interested in quantifying and characterising chemical emissions, uncertainty analysis,
consumer exposure, chemical substitution and model parameterisation.

Alexis Laurent Working with LCA since 2010 with a strong LCIA focus, particularly on
normalisation aspects. Main LCA interests include development of LCIA methods, LCA
applications and footprinting of large-scale systems for policy-making (e.g. nations, sectors), and
LCA applied to various technology domains, including energy systems.

Montserrat Núñez Environmental scientist with interest in LCA, agriculture, and modelling of
environmental impacts from resource use in agricultural activities. Involved in development of
LCIA methods to assess impacts of land use and water use since 2007.
Marisa Vieira Both as researcher and consultant developing and applying LCA, LCM and
footprints since 2007. Main interests are the application of life cycle thinking in companies, branch
associations and policy and capability development through training on LCA, SimaPro and
Environmental Footprint.
