Industrialized watersheds have elevated risk and limited opportunities to mitigate risk through water trading
Abstract Businesses are increasingly concerned about water scarcity and its financial impacts, as well as competing needs of other stakeholders and ecosystems. Industrialized watersheds may be at more serious risk from water scarcity than previously ...

Characterising the spatial and temporal variability of the tidal-stream energy resource over the northwest European shelf seas
Abstract As devices move from full-scale prototype to commercial installations, it is important that developers have detailed knowledge of the tidal energy resource. Therefore, the spatial distribution of the tidal currents over the northwest...

Assessing land-use changes driven by river dynamics in chronically flood affected Upper Brahmaputra plains, India, using RS-GIS techniques
Abstract This work documents land-use changes driven by river dynamics along two tributaries in the chronically flood affected Upper Brahmaputra floodplain which supports a population of more than half a million. Planform changes for a period of...

Performance of a quasi-steady model for hovering hummingbirds
Abstract A quasi-steady model describing aerodynamics of hovering Ruby-throated hummingbirds is presented to study extent of the low-order model in representing the flow physics of the bird and also to separately quantify the forces from the...

Single beam bathymetric data modelling techniques for accurate maintenance dredging
Abstract Most ports have dredged channels, berths and anchorages. Such infrastructure suffers from siltation which reduces the depth available for shipping, at which, maintenance dredging is required. Accurate bathymetric data modelling is important ...

Weathering of Oil Spill: Modeling and Analysis
Abstract Oil spill releases a large amount of crude oil on sea surface. Once the crude oil is spilled, it gradually starts decaying under the influence of concurrent processes collectively termed as oil weathering processes (OWP). Weathering of an...
