Analysis of Platform Dynamic Response With a 3 × 3 Mooring System for the DTU 10 MW Wind Turbine Based on OpenFAST

Shock and Vibration
A novel 3 × 3 mooring system was designed for the DTU 10 MW wind turbine based on the floating platform OOStar. This new mooring system was compared with the original mooring system using OpenFAST.

Structural behaviour of fully coupled spar–mooring system under extreme wave loading

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2014
Floating spar platform has been proven to be an economical and efficient type of offshore oil and gas exploration structure in deep and ultra-deep seas. Associated nonlinearities, coupled action, damping effect and extreme sea environments may modify its

Dynamic response of communities and ecosystem functions to ecosystem engineering and multiple stressors in a marine mussel bed

Oikos, EarlyView.
Ecosystem engineers are crucial to the development of coastal ecosystem communities and functions. However, a better understanding of how environmental stressors affect ecosystem engineering and thereby influence communities and ecosystem dynamics is needed. We conducted an in situ experiment in a blue mussel Mytilus spp.

Technical wildness: Modernity, romanticism, and the technocratic turn in Scottish rewilding

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Technical wildness is a new and increasingly influential culture of nature. This paper marks its emergence in Scotland in the early 2020s. Focusing on Scotland's rapidly evolving land management sector, the paper traces how private rewilding companies position science‐led land management and natural capital markets as the most effective ...

Balancing forage and fear: How people, environment and predators shape reindeer grazing in the Fennoscandian tundra

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.

Shore-Based Constant Tension Mooring System Performance and Configuration Study Based on Cross-Domain Collaborative Analysis Method

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In this paper, a new solution is proposed for the problem of mooring safety of large ships in complex sea conditions. Firstly, a dual-mode mooring system is designed to adaptively switch between active control and passive energy storage, adjusting the ...

Study on the Tension Mooring of the Floating Ocean Structures

Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1985
The tension mooring of the floating ocean structures seems promising to expand the ocean space exploitation. This kind of mooring method becomes relatively inexpensive in deep ocean, and has many advantages such that it can suppress the motion of the floating structures and needs only minimum mooring space.This paper presents the results of the ...

Impact of data assimilation on Arctic sea‐ice thickness variability and its coupling with atmospheric forcing

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document for the first time how the assimilation of CS2SMOS observations improves the model representation of Arctic sea‐ice thickness (SIT) and its variability: biases are reduced (top row), while excessive variability in the Beaufort Sea and lack of variability in the ice pack are both corrected (bottom row).

A Multi‐Method Approach to Assessing Barrier Effectiveness in Preventing the Spread of Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus)

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Relieving barriers and increasing free flowing rivers is a global imperative to restore habitat connectivity for migratory fish stocks. While reducing river fragmentation will certainly improve biodiversity, the spread of non‐native species throughout a river system may be facilitated as an inadvertent outcome.
