Uncertainty Quantification and Attribution for Resilient Infrastructure Systems
Infrastructure resilience is critical for maintaining the delivery of essential services to society. However, although computational modelling is integral to infrastructure management, infrastructure model outputs are conditional on a range of uncertain assumptions, both in the present day and under future climate change.

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Prospects for generating electricity by large onshore and offshore wind farms
The decarbonisation of energy sources requires additional investments in renewable technologies, including the installation of onshore and offshore wind farms. For wind energy to remain competitive, wind farms must continue to provide low-cost power even

Optimal Power Dispatch of an Offshore Wind Farm under Generator Fault
For offshore wind farms, the power loss caused by the wake effect is large due to the large capacity of the wind turbine. At the same time, the operating environment of the offshore wind farm is very harsh, and the cost of maintenance is higher than that

Wake steering experiments in onshore and offshore wind farms
Abstract Over the past years, wake steering has been the subject of much research in the wind industry. Multiple academic publications have shown results from high fidelity simulations (such as SOWFA), engineering simulations (such as FLORIS) or from field tests.

ABSTRACT Offshore wind power, like other variable renewable electricity sources, requires variation management strategies (VMS) to address demand–supply imbalances in the electricity system. From a functional perspective, VMS that can absorb excess electricity are particularly well suited to wind power, which exhibits strong temporal variability.

ABSTRACT This study explores environmental justice issues in coastal food systems, focusing on conflicts between small‐scale fisheries and the energy sector due to differing goals in managing food and energy sources. It does so by examining the interdependence between institutions, policies, and different types of knowledge; key elements in building ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
