  • Studies assessing noise impacts of wave, tidal energy systems

    Updated: 2011-06-30 22:06:05
    , Jun 10 2011 Studies assessing noise impacts of wave , tidal energy systems Effects of Noise on Wildlife Ocean Science Add comments An article in Renewable Energy World this month provides a great overview of ongoing research funded by the DOE that is assessing environmental impacts of Marine and Hydrokinetic” energy technologies . These new MHK” systems include anything that generates electricity from the movement of water without dams , including systems that tap waves , tides , currents , or ocean thermal gradients . Much of the research looks at the ways these systems can change the physcial dyanamics of ocean ecosystems e.g . reducing wave height by drawing energy from the waves , changes in sediment movement and salt freshwater mixing , etc . Of special interest here , of course ,

  • Do High-Density, Urban Areas Really Have a Lower Carbon Footprint?
