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.

The proposal is for the installation, operation and decommissioning of five 2 bladed 100 kW tidal turbines. The proposed devices are bottom mounted, gravity anchored, non-yawing horizontal axis tidal turbines comprising of a cylindrical nacelle unit, rotor and gravity base to secure it to the sea bed (no seabed drilling or additional site works are required). The negatively buoyant nacelle is…
This document contains the Appropriate Assessment for Tidal Generation Limited at the Fall of Warness EMEC test site.
This paper considers the process of modelling sediment transport and morphological change in the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters using coastal area models. This region is atypical of regions commonly modelled using such techniques: it is high energy with limited and highly variable regions of mobile sediment. This causes challenges with regards both model capability and availability of data.…
The report describes how adult harbour seals and grey seal pups use the water column within the Brims lease site.
- Telemetry data from 12 adult harbour seals and seven grey seal pups diving within the Brims lease site were analysed to extract descriptors of dive behaviour.
- Dive data were summarised to provide estimates of the proportion of time seals spent at different…
