ABSTRACT In this article we examine how rural‐to‐urban migrant factory workers in two of Vietnam's industrial zones actively construct livelihood stability and pursue future aspirations while dealing with structurally precarious work environments. We develop a multi‐scalar conceptual framework combining key ideas regarding livelihood trajectories ...

On Wind Directions Estimated by Nacelle Lidar Under Different Reconstruction Methods
ABSTRACT The wind direction is closely linked to the power performance and structural loads of wind turbines. Conventional nacelle‐mounted vanes or sonic anemometers face errors associated with airflow distortions caused by turbine blades. Nacelle‐mounted lidar systems offer line‐of‐sight speed measurements from multiple positions ahead of the rotor ...

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

From wells to windmills: Resource redeployment and new technology investment in the energy sector
Abstract Research Summary This study examines how multi‐business firms redeploy resources following an industry shock. Using the case of oil and gas firms diversified into wind power, I show that firms reduced expenditure in oil and gas—particularly on complex offshore projects—while increasing investment in wind after the 2014 oil price crash.

Assemblage, archive, and ancestor: Developing more‐than‐human historical geography with salmon
This paper interrogates recent geographic literature on the more‐than‐human archive and argues that there needs to be more specificity when conceptualising and researching the more‐than‐human. It then answers this call for specificity by theorising three modes of more‐than‐human historical geography that are developed through empirical encounters with ...
