Multi‐Strategy Synergy‐Based Differential Evolution for Large Wind Farm Layout Optimization
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Exploring clean energy alternatives to fossil fuels has become a major research focus worldwide. Wind energy is regarded as one of the most promising renewable energy sources due to its clean and sustainable nature. However, wake interactions among turbines significantly reduce power conversion efficiency, making wind farm layout optimization (

Can Tidal Current Energy Provide Base Load?
Energies, 2013 Tidal energy belongs to the class of intermittent but predictable renewable energy sources. In this paper, we consider a compact set of geographically diverse locations, which have been assessed to have significant tidal stream energy, and attempt to ...

INFRASTRUCTURAL CONCEALMENT: Everyday Festival Economies and Riverine Ecologies in Kolkata
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Urban infrastructures are often celebrated within marketized development logics for their promise of equitable access while concealing ecological harm. This article examines whether and how ecological degradation is integral to infrastructural modernization, showing how infrastructures that promise improvement and inclusion simultaneously ...

Significant Far‐Right Challenges to Australian Society? The XYZ and AustraliaOne
Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Scholars who analyse the Australian far‐right from a criminological or security studies perspective propose that activists and groups pose ‘political’ challenges to Australian society. This paper examines the far‐right news website The XYZ and the AustraliaOne political party, and argues that claims that the far‐right may normalise ...

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway
Boreas, EarlyView.The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Boreas, EarlyView.Numerous studies have shown that during the Quaternary there were substantial fluctuations in sea level in response to glacial–interglacial climate variability, reaching lowstand positions up to 134 m below the present sea level (b.s.l.). These fluctuations have had a strong influence on the morphology of shallow shelf seas, which preserve evidence of ...

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions
Boreas, EarlyView.Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...

Theoretical limits to tidal stream energy extraction
, 2014 Tidal stream energy has gained attention as a source of predictable and renewable energy. Devices resembling underwater wind turbines, placed in fast tidal streams, have been proposed to extract this energy. Arrays of many such devices will need to be deployed to deliver a significant amount of energy to the electricity grid.

Characteristics of the velocity profile at tidal-stream energy sites
Renewable Energy, 2017 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.

Creativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental organisations (EOs) are not‐for‐profit organisations that contribute to responsible innovation (RI) efforts to mitigate the climate crisis as central catalysts in society. While the RI discourse in management research acknowledges that collaboration between a broad variety of actors is necessary to foster climate action, so far ...
