The low-carbon risk society: Dilemmas of risk-risk tradeoffs in energy innovations, transitions, and climate policy. [PDF]

Risk Anal
Abstract As countries and communities grapple with climate change, they seek to rapidly decarbonize their economies and cultures. A low‐carbon future will likely depend on more distributed solar energy, the electrification of mobility, and more efficient homes and buildings. But what emergent risks are evident within this low‐carbon society?

Enhanced Precision in Dam Crack Width Measurement: Leveraging Advanced Lightweight Network Identification for Pixel‐Level Accuracy

International Journal of Intelligent Systems, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
In dam engineering, the presence of cracks and crack width are important indicators for diagnosing the health of dams. The accurate measurement of cracks facilitates the safe use of dams. The manual detection of such defects is unsatisfactory in terms of cost, safety, accuracy, and the reliability of evaluation.
