Nonimaging High Concentrating Photovoltaic System Using Trough
Solar energy is a long-established technology, which has zero CO2 emissions, and provides low-cost energy for a given area of land. The concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) has been given preference over the photovoltaic due to its high efficiency.

Field campaigns establish a novel hydro‐eco‐geomorphic database for St. Lawrence Estuary saltmarshes; foundations to predict ecosystem evolution in an understudied region. Documented spatial and temporal variability in vegetation traits, inundation dynamics and sediment supply warrants further investigation in saltmarsh modelling frameworks.

Wave Propagation in 3‐D Poroelastic Media Accounting for Both Mesoscopic and Global Flow Effects
Abstract Biot's theory of poroelasticity is widely recognized as a fundamental framework for describing wave‐induced fluid flow in mesoscopic heterogeneous porous media. However, dynamic numerical modeling of velocity dispersion and attenuation in heterogeneous porous media remains challenging due to (a) the stiffness of Biot's equations and (b) the ...

Process‐Based Modeling of Coastal Dune Blowout Initiation, Development, and Stabilization
Abstract Coastal dune blowouts are key geomorphic features that drive landward sediment transport, dune mobility, and habitat diversity, yet their conditions of formation and evolution remain poorly quantified. Using the process‐based AeoLiS model under time‐invariant wind conditions and for idealized coastal dune settings, we simulate the spontaneous ...
