This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

Montecinos and Carvajal
La revolución industrial viene de la mano con un aumento significativo del requerimiento energético, llevando al hombre a utilizar combustibles fósiles como fuente principal de energía que, hasta ese momento, eran satisfechas por fuentes renovables. El uso indiscriminado de los combustibles fósiles experimentado desde entonces ha causado un aumento sostenido de la concentración de dióxido de…

Windenergieanlagen verursachen in Deutschland eine relativ hohe Zahl an Fledermausschlagopfern, die potenziell zu Bestandseinbußen führen können. Ein wirksamer Fledermausschutz ist daher für die Umsetzung einer ökologisch-nachhaltigen Energiewende, die sowohl die Ziele des Klimaschutzes als auch die des Biodiversitätsschutzes berücksichtigt, notwendig. Ein wirksamer Fledermausschutz beim Bau…

This book presents the papers presented at the Third International Conference on the Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life that took place in August 2013 in Budapest, Hungary. The meeting, like its predecessors in Nyborg, Denmark (2007; Hawkins et al. 2008), and Cork, Ireland (2010; Popper and Hawkins 2012), introduced participants to the most recent research on the effects of man-made noise on…

Pavlov et al.
This book is a fundamental research in migration and it describes how the regulated river flows affect fish downstream migration. The book provides information on 45 reservoirs, and it contains a comparative analysis of patterns (species and sizes of the downstream fish migrants, as well as seasonal and daily dynamics of their migration) and migration mechanisms through dams of hydroelectric…

Yang and Copping
This complete reference to marine renewable energy covers aspects of resource characterization and physical effects of harvesting the ocean’s vast and powerful resources—from wave and tidal stream to ocean current energy. Experts in each of these areas contribute their insights to provide a cohesive overview of the marine renewable energy spectrum based on theoretical, numerical modeling, and…

Anderson et al.
In the 1980s little was known about the potential environmental effects associated with large scale wind energy development. Although wind turbines have been used in farming and remote location applications throughout this country for centuries, impacts on birds resulting from these dispersed turbines had not been reported. Thus early wind energy developments were planned, permitted,…

Wright et al.
Energy from wave and tidal power is a key component of current policies for renewable sources of energy. This book provides the first comprehensive exploration of legal, economic, and social issues related to the emerging ocean energy industry, in particular wave and tidal energy technologies. This industry is rapidly developing, and considerable technical literature has…

Throughout the world, the threat of climate change is pressing governments to accelerate the deployment of technologies to generate low carbon electricity or heat. But this is frequently leading to controversy, as energy and planning policies are revised to support new energy sources or technologies (e.g. offshore wind, tidal, bioenergy or hydrogen energy) and communities face the prospect of…

Ölçer et al.
This book provides an overview of contemporary trends and challenges in maritime energy management (MEM). Coordinated action is necessary to achieve a low carbon and energy-efficient maritime future, and MEM is the prevailing framework aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions resulting from maritime industry activities. The book familiarizes readers with the status quo in the field, and…

Diederichs et al.
This reports reviews methodologies for measuring and assessing potential changes in marine mammal behaviour, abundance or distribution arising from the construction, operation and decommissioning of offshore windfarms. The report first describes impacts from offshore windfarms on marine mammals and defines the spatial and temporal scope of investigations in order to detect impacts on marine…

Renewable energies offshore are becoming a significant contributor to the total energy produced in some countries and the interest in the subject is increasing worldwide. Various forms of renewable energy are being developed, from which some are at sea. There are some forms of energy that depend on the sea such as wave, tides and OTEC, which are the ones traditionally known as ocean energy but…

This book presents a selection of new insights in understanding and mitigating impacts on wildlife and their habitats. Topics such as, species behaviour and responses; collision risk and fatality estimation; landscape features and gradients, are considered. Other chapters in the book cover the results of current research on mitigation; compensation; effectiveness of measures; monitoring and…

Voigt and Kingston
Humans have inadvertently changed global ecosystems and triggered the dawn of a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. While some organisms can tolerate human activities and even flourish in anthropogenic habitats, the vast majority are experiencing dramatic population declines, pushing our planet into a sixth mass extinction. Bats are particularly susceptible to anthropogenic changes because…

Hötker et al.
This book discusses the increase in number and capacity of wind farms in Germany and how this is affecting birds of prey. Several methods are used to study the behaviour of birds of prey in relation to wind farms, including telemetry data, field observations, and comparisons of turbine base areas. Special attention is given to the effects on different bird species and the impact wind farms may…

Langston and Pullan
The report analyses the literature into the effects of windfarms on birds and suggests some guidance for assessing their impact and the precautions to be taken when selecting sites. The location selected for windfarms is of vital importance. The main potential hazards for birds are disturbance, leading to their exclusion from an area or barring their movement; death by collision; and loss of…

Angelici
This book provides insight into the instances in which wildlife species can create problems. Some species trigger problems for human activities, but many others need humans to save them and to continue to exist. The text addresses issues faced by economists and politicians dealing with laws involving actions undertaken to resolve the problems of the interaction between humans and wildlife.…

Renewable energy resources now play an essential role in the energy supply debate, and especially a new interest in wind energy has resulted in the intensified construction of wind farms. Thanks to the growing demand for renewable energy, offshore wind farms (OWFs) are increasingly gaining in popularity, since yields over sea are greater and more reliable than over land. Against this…

Yates and Bradshaw
The generation of offshore energy is a rapidly growing sector, competing for space in an already busy seascape. This book brings together the ecological, economic, and social implications of the spatial conflict this growth entails. Covering all energy-generation types (wind, wave, tidal, oil, and gas), it explores the direct and indirect impacts the growth of offshore energy generation has on…

Wind farms are an essential component of global renewable energy policy and the action to limit the effects of climate change. There is, however, considerable concern over the impacts of wind farms on wildlife, leading to a wide range of research and monitoring studies, a growing body of literature and several international conferences on the topic. This unique multi-volume work…
