Challenges during installation of floating wind turbines
(ASRANet, 27 August 2021)Floating wind turbine substructures are an expanding sector within renewable power generation, offering an opportunity to deliver green energy, in new areas offshore. The floating nature of the substructures permits wind ... -
The microbiology of metal mine waste: bioremediation applications and implications for planetary health
(American Geophysical Union (AGU) / Wiley, 8 September 2021)Mine wastes pollute the environment with metals and metalloids in toxic concentrations, causing problems for humans and wildlife. Microorganisms colonise and inhabit mine wastes, and can influence the environmental mobility ... -
Low-cost internet of things (IoT) for monitoring and optimising mining small-scale trucks and surface mining shovels
(Elsevier BV, 27 August 2021)This paper discusses the design and deployment of low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) in mediumscale open pit mines to optimise the performance of their mining small-scale trucks and surface mining shovels. Low-cost IoT can ... -
Paleocene/Eocene carbon feedbacks triggered by volcanic activity
(Nature Research, 31 August 2021)The Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a period of geologically-rapid carbon release and global warming ~56 million years ago. Although modelling, outcrop and proxy records suggest volcanic carbon release occurred, ... -
Soiling on PV performance influenced by weather parameters in Northern Nigeria
(Elsevier / World Renewable Energy Network (WREN), 4 September 2021)The photovoltaic device's economic and environmental merits have made it the most suitable clean energy alternative to help developing countries achieve the SDG-7. However, the low efficiency of the device, which is ...
