ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT VIRTUAL CALCULATOR
Why? PURPOSE OF THE CALCULATOR:
1. The ecological footprint calculator helps to live and
work more sustainably. As measurement tools, the
calculators also help to compare the impacts that
different activities or everyday decisions might have,
whether they take place in your home, in your school or
office, or in managing an event.
2. The WWF VIRTUAL SHOPPING CART seeks to provide an
assessment of the impact of foodstuffs and food waste by
using two indicators (the Water and Carbon Footprints),
which respectively represent water consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions. The shopping cart with its
“environmental receipts” seeks to raise awareness on the
environmental impact of our behavior and choices.

Areas of research :
Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry
Researchers in the Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry use
field observations, laboratory experimentation,
computational modeling, and state-of-the-art analytical
techniques to understand processes that regulate ocean
chemistry. Much of this work is directed at identifying and
determining chemical fluxes, or exchanges, across ocean
boundaries at the seafloor, coastal zone, and air-sea
interface. This research helps to establish the
relationship between ocean chemistry and climate and the
influence of human activity on the marine environment.
Biology
This research helps to understand life in the oceans and
the interactions of marine organisms with their
environments.
Geology & Geophysics
This research helps to understand the role of the oceans
in past climate change, the geologic structure and
tectonics of the ocean basins and their margins, and the
composition and dynamics of the Earth’s mantle.
