Exploring the relationship between tourism and offshore finance in small island economies: lessons from Jersey [PDF]

Many islands host tourism and offshore finance but research tends to focus on either industry without examining the nature of the relationship(s) between these two where they co-exist.

Upper bound limit analysis of coral reef limestone cavern roof stability incorporating a tension‐shear failure mechanism with tensile‐strength cut‐off

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
For the roof of coral reef limestone caverns, a novel tension‐shear composite failure mechanism was developed. The most critical tensile crack model was identified using a hybrid optimization algorithm, and the stability of the cavern roof was analyzed accordingly.

Major engineering breakthrough of Well XA‐1, the deepest ten‐thousand‐meter well in a global sedimentary basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Well XA‐1, completed at a true vertical depth of 11 156 m in the Shawan Sag of the Junggar Basin, is the deepest predominantly near‐vertical well drilled in a sedimentary basin. The figure shows the basin's tectonic framework and well location (a), a structural cross‐section spanning the Shawan Sag and adjacent uplifts (b), and the stratigraphic column

Reusing depleted oil and gas wells for geothermal energy: Feasibility, challenges, and a decision‐making framework for sustainable conversion

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents a structured decision‐support framework for assessing the feasibility of converting depleted oil and gas wells into geothermal energy systems. The left panel illustrates a comprehensive, multi‐stage decision‐making framework progressing from prefeasibility screening and technical–economic analysis to policy alignment ...

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Life cycle assessment of a microfluidic electrolytic cell using Bi–Sn nanoparticle catalyst and an ionic liquid electrolyte

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce formic acid is a sustainable and crucial method for combating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing global warming. This study focuses on conducting a life cycle assessment of formic acid synthesis using microfluidic electrolytic cells with Bi–Sn catalyst and [EMIM][BF4] (1 ...

Hybrid Simulation–Machine Learning Surrogates for Coordinate‐Based Solar and Wind Energy Yield Assessment in Iraq: A Streamlit Decision‐Support Tool

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates climatic simulations with machine learning to predict solar and wind energy across Iraq. Results show Random Forest excels for solar (R2 = 0.98) and neural networks for wind (R2 = 0.97), enabling a practical web tool for renewable energy planning. ABSTRACT Driven by the global shift away from fossil fuels, solar and wind resources

Variance‐Empirical Mode Decomposition Method for Fault Detection in MMC‐HVDC Transmission Lines

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A variance‐embedded empirical mode decomposition (VEMD) method is proposed for fast and accurate fault detection in MMC‐HVDC transmission lines. By combining variance analysis with EMD, the method reliably detects various faults without communication links and remains robust to noise and non‐fault transients.

"Valuing the Visual Disamenity of Offshore Wind Projects at Varying Distances from the Shore: An Application on the Delaware Shoreline" [PDF]

Several offshore wind power projects are under consideration in the United States. A concern with any wind power project is the visual disamenity it may create.
