Low Nest Success of Black‐Legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) at a Mainland Colony Is Not Associated With Disturbance From Walkers or Boats: Implications for Compensation for Offshore Renewables Impacts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Offshore wind energy is rapidly expanding in the North sea foraging grounds of internationally important seabirds, with predicted impacts on their survival and productivity. Since reduction to breeding colony disturbance is a proposed compensation measure for these impacts, we used a seven‐year dataset of > 1400 black‐legged kittiwake nests at an ...

Evaluating Mechanical Strength in Vertical-Axis Tidal Turbines: A Comparative Study of Internal Blade Structure and Material Selection through CFD Simulation [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Due to the density of water, tidal turbine blades are subject to significantly greater stresses than wind turbine blades. Multiple blade failures occurred during prototype testing as a result of loading conditions and protracted exposure to seawater ...

Combining Morpho‐Taxonomy and Metabarcoding Enhances the Detection of Biofouling Communities at Offshore Sites

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Biofouling communities on offshore renewable energy infrastructure were characterized using complementary approaches based on morphology and DNA metabarcoding. The combined analyses revealed high diversity, including the identification of non‐native species and micro‐eukaryotes, and highlighted the influence of environmental and temporal factors on ...

Rotor Loading Characteristics of a Full-Scale Tidal Turbine

Energies, 2019
Tidal turbines are subject to highly dynamic mechanical loading through operation in some of the most energetic waters. If these loads cannot be accurately quantified at the design stage, turbine developers run the risk of a major failure, or must choose

Exercise Intolerance in Young Physically Active Smokers Compared to Non‐Smokers During Sinusoidal Cycling

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The impact of cigarette smoking on the cardiorespiratory response to exhaustive exercise remains unclear. This study investigated the smoking effect on exercise tolerance by analyzing the cardiorespiratory and metabolic variables during an exhausting sinusoidal exercise in young physically active smokers (SM) without known cardiovascular and ...

Development of a contra-rotating tidal current turbine and analysis of performance [PDF]

, 2007
A contra-rotating marine current turbine has a number of attractive features: nearzero reactive torque on the support structure, near-zero swirl in the wake, and high relative inter-rotor rotational speeds.

Review of tidal turbine wake modelling methods

International Marine Energy Journal, 2020
Enabling Future Arrays in Tidal (EnFAIT) is an EU Horizon 2020 flagship tidal energy project. It aims to demonstrate the development, operation and decommissioning of the world’s largest tidal array (six turbines), over a five-year period, to prove a ...

Transboundary Policy Perspectives on Migratory Bird Stopover Sites Conservation: A Case Study of Yancheng (China) and Geelong (Australia) 迁徙鸟类停歇地保护的跨境政策视角 —— 以中国盐城与澳大利亚吉朗为例

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 149-159, September 2026.
Migratory shorebirds traveling the East Asian–Australasian Flyway face systemic policy fragmentation and habitat disconnection between China (coordination challenges and renewable energy conflicts) and Australia (federal governance fragmentation). This study proposes a transboundary conservation framework to fill this gap.
