Mapping seabird sensitivity to offshore wind farms. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 We present a Geographic Information System (GIS) tool, SeaMaST (Seabird Mapping and Sensitivity Tool), to provide evidence on the use of sea areas by seabirds and inshore waterbirds in English territorial waters, mapping their relative sensitivity to offshore wind farms.

How Expensive Is Expensive Enough? Opportunities for Cost Reductions in Offshore Wind Energy Logistics. [PDF]
, 2016 This paper reveals that logistics may conservatively amount to 18% of the levelized cost of energy for offshore wind farms. This is the key finding from an extensive case study carried out within the organization of the world’s leading offshore wind farm
