Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration is a global priority due to its critical role in enhancing climate resilience and biodiversity. Tidal reinstatement, through the removal or modification of tidal barriers, is a promising method to restore these ecosystems.

Constraining the distribution of dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with stellar tidal streams
We use high-resolution N-body simulations to follow the formation and evolution of tidal streams associated to dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). The dSph models are embedded in dark matter (DM) haloes with either a centrally-divergent 'cusp', or an ...

Problems and Solutions in the Knowledge Economy: Ideational Power in Slow‐Burning Crises
ABSTRACT Societies are grappling with uncertainty about how to adapt to the emerging knowledge economy. Drawing on the public policy literature, we propose a new approach to studying the politics of ideas during long‐term structural changes. We depart from existing scholarship that focuses on the politics of ideas during episodic crises, and instead ...

Detectability of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles in the Sagittarius Dwarf Tidal Stream
Tidal streams of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr) may be showering dark matter onto the solar system and contributing approx (0.3--23)% of the local density of our Galactic Halo. If the Sagittarius galaxy contains WIMP dark matter, the extra

ABSTRACT The Gollum Channel System is a land‐detached large‐scale canyon‐channel system situated offshore southwest Ireland on the Northeast Atlantic margin. The system has been considered inactive with downslope gravity flows since the last glacial period, but geophysical data in some of its branches do suggest Holocene activity.

Characteristics of the velocity profile at tidal-stream energy sites
Abstract Realistic oceanographic conditions are essential to consider in the design of resilient tidal-stream energy devices that can make meaningful contributions to global emissions targets. Depth-averaged or simplified velocity profiles are often used in studies of device performance, or device interaction with the environment.

Abstract All organisms contain carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in widely ranging amounts and proportions. Integrating existing datasets enables quantification of this variation at global scales. Such efforts could leverage ecological stoichiometry theory, the study of elemental supply and imbalances in ecological interactions, to connect ecological ...

Quantifying the System Benefits of Ocean Energy in the Context of Variability: A UK Example
Recent studies have shown benefits of using tidal stream and wave energy in the electricity generation mix to improve supply–demand balancing on annual/subannual timeframes.

Abstract In British Columbia (BC), Canada, industry advocates are increasingly mobilising bioenergy as a renewable and carbon neutral fuel source in energy transition and climate change mitigation strategies. At the same time, changing climate conditions have exacerbated the extent and severity of beetle and fire activity in the region, and trees ...

Tidal-range and tidal-stream energy characterisation in the Gulf of California, Mexico
In the last two decades, there has been a growing interest in tidal energy, which is a predictable source of renewable energy driven by astronomical forces. To date, no dedicated assessments of the available tidal-stream energy resource have been carried out for the Gulf of California, México (hereafter GC) and only two limited studies of tidal-range ...
