Turbine sound may influence the metamorphosis behaviour of estuarine crab megalopae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 It is now widely accepted that a shift towards renewable energy production is needed in order to avoid further anthropogenically induced climate change. The ocean provides a largely untapped source of renewable energy.

Lifetime Analysis of IGBT Power Modules in Passively Cooled Tidal Turbine Converters
Energies, 2020 Thermal cycling is one of the major reasons for failure in power electronic converters. For submerged tidal turbine converters investigating this failure mode is critical in improving the reliability, and minimizing the cost of energy from tidal turbines.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study develops a spatial and technical framework to evaluate hydrokinetic energy potential in the Amazon as a sustainable alternative to diesel‐based systems. By modeling regional resources, we demonstrate that hydrokinetic sources offer a cleaner, economically competitive solution for displacing fossil fuels in remote riverine communities ...

Power Extraction Strategy of a Robust kW Range Marine Tidal Turbine Based on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators and Passive Rectifiers [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents a kW range marine tidal current power generation system consisting of a fixed pitch marine current turbine (MCT) with two permanent magnet synchronous generators in the turbine shaft, two diode rectifiers (each rectifier is associated

From Map Follower to Navigator: Archetypes of Environmental Impact Assessment
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental impact assessment (EIA) scholarship is commonly framed as a tension between efficiency and comprehensiveness paradigms. These paradigms describe a persistent tension but cannot explain how EIA operates through it. Drawing on social systems theory, this analysis traces that operation.
