Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.This article explores what drives households to adopt solar PV and battery systems in South East Queensland. Using hybrid discrete choice experiments, it reveals distinct adopter profiles and highlights cost, system size, and energy independence as key motivators.

Solar Radiation Drives the Plant Species Distribution in Urban Built-Up Areas
PlantsUrban areas serve as critical habitats for numerous plant species. Existing studies suggest that, due to human-mediated introductions, urban environments often harbor a greater variety of plant species compared to suburban areas, potentially becoming ...

Solar radiation forecasting using ad-hoc time series preprocessing and neural networks
, 2009 In this paper, we present an application of neural networks in the renewable energy domain. We have developed a methodology for the daily prediction of global solar radiation on a horizontal surface. We use an ad-hoc time series preprocessing and a Multi-

The long-term policy context for solar radiation management
Climatic Change, 2012 We examine the potential role of “solar radiation management” or “sunlight reduction methods” (SRM) in limiting future climate change, focusing on the interplay between SRM deployment and mitigation in the context of uncertainty in climate response. We use a straightforward scenario analysis to show that the policy and physical context determine the ...

Geo-engineering using dust grains in heliotropic elliptical orbits [PDF]
, 2011 This paper examines the concept of a Saturn-like Earth ring comprised of dust grains to offset global warming. A new family of non-Keplerian periodic orbits, under the effects of solar radiation pressure and the Earth’s oblateness J2 perturbation, is ...

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.
