Water‐Borne Erosion of Reinforced Polymer Composites: Application to Shallow Offshore Marine Environment

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 4102-4126, 10 March 2026.
Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 342-369, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Output characteristics of tidal current power stations [PDF]

, 2004
With increasing targets being set for renewable-derived electricity generation, wind power is currently the preferred technology. It is widely accepted that due to the stochastic nature of wind, there is an upper limit to the capacity that can be ...

Shrouded Wind and Water Turbine Analytical Model Extensions for Tip Gaps, Center Bodies, and Flow Blockage

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper provides improvements to a previously presented simple, accurate, lower order analytical model for predicting the performance of horizontal‐axis shrouded turbines for a wide range of shroud airfoil shapes varying in length, camber, and thickness. The new, extended model incorporates explicit quantitative predictions of those effects

Impacts of the renewable energy transition on global plant diversity: A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 87-115, January 2026.
People and nature need a renewable energy transition to help address the growing, and catastrophic, effects of climate change. A sustainable energy transition involves rigorously examining the potential impacts on nature – including plant life – and creating pathways for impact mitigation that strike a clear balance between energy production and ...
