A simplified two‐station approach for modeling metabolism in dam tailwaters subject to diel flow variation

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Tailwaters are ubiquitous and highly managed ecosystems whose food webs often rely disproportionately on autochthonous energy. In situ continuous dissolved oxygen data are increasingly being used to estimate gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration in rivers, but this approach is complicated in tailwaters, where upriver ...

Exploring Marine Energy Potential in the UK Using a Whole Systems Modelling Approach

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
The key market drivers for marine energy are to reduce carbon emissions, and improve the security and sustainability of supply. There are other technologies that also meet these requirements, and therefore the marine energy market is dependent on the ...

A HOLISTIC METHOD TO SELECT TIDAL STREAM ENERGY HOTSPOTS [PDF]

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 2017
Potential areas for tidal stream energy development are conventionally selected on the basis of resource assessments. For all the importance of the resource, there are other elements (technological, economic, spatial, etc.) that must be taken into account in this selection.

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

The role of the synoptic‐scale conditions in driving fog and mist during the FATIMA July 2022 Sable Island Field program

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
ERA5 hourly 325‐m and 1512‐m (a) convergence and (b) vertical motion (actually pressure change with sign reversed to compare with convergence) over Sable Island around the time of an event. The mist (green) and fog (red) occurrences at the surface station are shown at the bottom of the figures. A 325‐m fitted line convergence was positive for the first

Using Deep Learning AI to Detect Riparian Vegetation Recovery Following a Major Flood in the Brisbane River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐flood riparian vegetation recovery demands significant attention; however, the complexity of traditional remote sensing methods often hinders environmental managers from implementing rapid vegetation monitoring. This paper developed a model using a Deep Learning Model within ArcGIS to classify and detect recovery of vegetation with high ...

Modeling the Energy Output from an In-Stream Tidal Turbine Farm

open access: yesJournal of Computers, 2009
This paper is based on a recent paper presented in the 2007 IEEE SMC conference by the same authors, discussing an approach to predicting energy output from an instream tidal turbine farm. An in-stream tidal turbine is a device for harnessing energy from tidal currents in channels, and functions in a manner similar to a wind turbine.
