The tidal range energy potential of the West Coast of the United Kingdom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
With concerns mounting over the UK’s energy future and the effects of climate change, it will soon become paramount that all viable sources of renewable energy are fully exploited.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Fundy Tidal Power Environmental Sedimentology [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Tidal power potentially can contribute significantly to North America's future needs. Proposed developments in the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy have a total generating capacity half again that of Niagara Falls.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

Fate of large-scale vortices in idealized tidal lagoons

open access: yesEnvironmental Fluid Mechanics, 2018
The generation and evolution of tidally-induced vortices in coastal and estuarine regions can influence water quality and sedimentary processes. These effects must be taken into consideration in the development of coastal reservoirs, barrages and lagoons,

The institutional paradox of a substantivist conception of the economy in public policy: Insights from public procurement for solidarity economy in Ecuador

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecuador's 2008 Constitution advanced an ambitious substantive economic vision through Buen Vivir (Good Living), recognizing a plural economy which encompasses private, public and solidarity economy (SE) sectors. This paper aims to analyze public procurement programs in Ecuador, one of the flagship Buen Vivir policies for SE promotion.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.
