Deep Uncertainty Surrounding Coastal Flood Risk Projections: A Case Study for New Orleans
, 2017 Future sea-level rise drives severe risks for many coastal communities. Strategies to manage these risks hinge on a sound characterization of the uncertainties. For example, recent studies suggest that large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) may

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Hydrocarbon membranes are a greener alternative to PFSA in PEM fuel cells, but degrade rapidly from radical attack. We present a novel strategy using poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) as a local radical scavenger. Incorporated as an interfacial barrier, PVPA enhances chemical stability and significantly extends membrane lifetime under accelerated ...

Wind Turbine Ice Protection system Benchmark Analysis
, 2018 The goal of this project was to anonymously benchmark state-of-the-art wind turbines equipped with Ice Protection Systems (IPS, active blade heating using anti- or de-icing strategy) used to mitigate production losses due to icing in icing climates. The performance and maturity of Enercon, Vestas, Nordex Group and Dongfang +2MW wind turbines in various

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Metal oxide (MOx)‐based NO2 gas sensors typically require high temperatures or ultraviolet light, limiting their practical use. To enable visible‐light activation at room temperature, efficient and stable photosensitizers should be integrated with nanostructured MOx hosts.
