Tidal range schemes can protect estuaries and coastal areas from the effects of sea level rise according to Lancaster researchers. https://doi.org/10.1680/jener.23. ...

“This is going to last longer than a lifetime,” said Dr Andrew Garrad, chair of the Severn Estuary Commission, who presented on the proposed tidal scheme for the estuary. “We should be expecting at ...

Tidal range power generation, as proposed by Lancaster University, can safeguard habitats and coasts from sea level rise while providing sustainable energy. Misconceptions about tidal barrages have ...

When you think about renewable energy, you think about solar, wind or hydro, but rarely about tidal energy, which is technically a form of hydropower. That’s because the modern version of the ...

A Severn Barrage with the potential to generate around 7% of the UK’s energy needs has been ruled out by an independent commission which instead is recommending over the long-term a series of ...

This huge range shows the bay’s tidal power, which is key for coastal life and local jobs. Every day, over 175 billion tons of seawater flow in and out of the bay. This is as much as all the world’s ...

Figure 1: OC burial and preservation in mangrove systems. Here we integrate palaeogeographic reconstructions, palaeotidal modelling and sedimentary analysis and suggest that higher tidal range and ...

We examine the potential for diurnal variation in elevation of saltmarsh surfaces as a source of error in long-term experiments; errors particularly critical in high ...

These daytime floods have hit coastal residents in places like Miami; Norfolk, Virginia; and Charleston, South Carolina. “Even though they are not killing people, these nuisance flooding events are ...

Tidal energy is clean and predictable, but harsh conditions, high maintenance, and technical challenges have made it hard to implement. But a new breakthrough in Scotland could change that. SKF, a ...
