Feasibility of offshore wind in Australia
, 2012 There is no offshore wind industry in Australia at present; however, offshore wind could have great potential. There is no published discussion of the economics of offshore wind on a national scale in Australia, so this paper offers analysis which may ...

Offshore wind farm avoidance by a discard‐feeding seabird is independent of local fishing activity
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Fishing is not allowed within wind farms; therefore, discard‐feeding seabirds may appear to avoid wind farm areas. We found that most Lesser Black‐backed Gulls avoided the wind farm area, but not each individual in each period. Avoidance of the wind farm was not driven by fishing exclusion within its perimeter.

Literature review of installation logistics for floating offshore wind turbines
, 2021 Purpose: Currently floating offshore wind emerges as a new technology and thus making offshore windfarms in areas feasible where it was due to certain conditions (water depths, soil conditions) not feasible to install fixed offshore wind turbines.

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
Procedia Engineering, 2015 AbstractEver increasing population of India demands high production of electrical energy which puts immense pressure on our limited stock of non-renewable resources of energy and makes us dependent over imports from foreign countries. But slowly we are shifting our focus towards renewable resources of energy. The present study focuses on the innovative

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Beyond the Wind: Mapping Externalities and Their Role in Shaping Willingness To Pay for Wind Energy
Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.ABSTRACTWind power plays a central role in global low‐carbon energy transitions, offering significant environmental benefits through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and decreased reliance on fossil fuels. Yet, local opposition to wind projects persists, often driven by perceived externalities affecting communities and landscapes. This study conducts a
