Predicting oxygen thresholds of marine taxa to improve ecological forecasts
Ecography, EarlyView.Species' ranges are shifting in response to increasing temperature and decreasing oxygen in coastal oceans. Predicting these shifts is limited by information on physiological oxygen thresholds and how they depend on temperature. Here we collate laboratory‐derived measurements of a common oxygen threshold, pcrit, for 148 animal species that span six ...

Coordination Centre for Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Belgium (poster) [PDF]
, 2002 The need for coordinationCoastal zones are complex areas with a highly specific natural character. As a contact zone between land and sea they possess an exceptional diversity of environments, biotic communities, and animal- and plant species.

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Field schools for Kenyan dairy farmers [PDF]
, 2013 Currently over 1000 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) on integrated pest management (IPM) and/or integrated soil management are being successfully implemented in Kenya and many more in Africa as a whole. In 2001, the DFID/FAO project on Farmer Field Schools for

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Traditional air conditioners suffer from low energy efficiency and exacerbate grid peak loads. While ice storage offers energy‐saving potential, the systematic regulation of ice packing fraction (IPF) on cooling consumption and its synergy with dynamic carbon emissions remains unexplored.
