Cover Story: Emerging issues of global warming turn the society to development of CO2-free technologies. While wind and solar energy sources are being intensively explored now, others are still unexplored, particularly, ocean waves, which are attractive due to a high energy density and low CO2 emission. Although development of wave energy converters has a history of more than 100 years, wave power technologies have not proven to be commercially viable. One of the reasons is a rather high operation and maintenance cost. Sharing experience of offshore operations will help to avoid repeating mistakes by different developers and accelerate the technology progress. View the paper here.

Predicting Dynamic Coastal Delta Change in Response to Sea-Level Rise

  • Wietse I. Van De Lageweg and
  • Aimée B. A. Slangen

The world’s largest deltas are densely populated, of significant economic importance and among the most valuable coastal ecosystems. Projected twenty-first century sea-level rise (SLR) poses a threat to these low-lying coastal environments with inhab...

The Impact of Uncertainties in Ice Sheet Dynamics on Sea-Level Allowances at Tide Gauge Locations

  • Aimée B. A. Slangen,
  • Roderik S. W. Van de Wal,
  • Thomas J. Reerink,
  • Renske C. De Winter,
  • John R. Hunter,
  • Philip L. Woodworth and
  • Tamsin Edwards

Sea level is projected to rise in the coming centuries as a result of a changing climate. One of the major uncertainties is the projected contribution of the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica to sea-level rise (SLR). Here, we study the impact of...

Offshore Deployments of Wave Energy Converters by Seabased Industry AB

  • Maria Angeliki Chatzigiannakou,
  • Irina Dolguntseva and
  • Mats Leijon

Since 2008, Seabased Industry AB (SIAB) has manufactured and deployed several units of wave energy converters (WECs) of different design. The WECs are linear generators with point absorber buoy systems that are placed on the seabed, mounted on a grav...
