Green Developmentalism? The Political Economy of Hydropower in India in the 21st Century
Development and Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article critically examines the political economy of hydropower in India since its global reconfiguration as ‘green energy’ in the early 2000s. While an opportune convergence of interests among key global, national and subnational stakeholders contributed to the greening of hydropower in India, this reframing did not produce the expected ...

Underwater hearing thresholds and hearing mechanisms
, 1993 Divers are often exposed underwater to very intense noise, the levels of which can be as high as 200 dB SPL. Appropriate noise limits can only be recommended for underwater use if hearing thresholds and hearing mechanisms are known.

Effects of Pile-driving Noise on the Behaviour of Marine Fish [PDF]
, 2010 Studies on the effects of offshore wind farm construction on marine life have so far focussed onbehavioural reactions in porpoises and seals. The effects on fish have only very recently come intothe focus of scientists, regulators and stakeholders.

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...
