HI54A:
Marine Renewable Energy: Resource Characterization, Environmental Impacts, and Societal Interactions IV Posters


Session ID#: 11387

Session Description:
The ocean represents a vast and largely untapped energy resource, which could be exploited as a form of low carbon electricity generation, and there is much research within the oceanographic community into resource characterization and environmental impacts. We seek contributions spanning a broad range of topics related to marine renewable energy, including wind, wave, ocean current and tidal resource assessment (and wave-tide interactions) over timescales ranging from semi-diurnal to decadal, and feedbacks between electricity generation and the resource at both device and array scale. This session is designed to gather and relate research methods, plans, and results from global investigations into field techniques, statistical modeling, and integrative mapping used to assess the presence, distribution, migration, dispersal, and/or abundance of species (seabirds, marine mammals, fish, sea turtles, and decapod crustacean) most likely affected by offshore renewable energy. The session will also include studies of physical impacts (e.g. impacts on sedimentary systems), and societal interactions. We also invite reports of research into potential or existing effects due to novel aspects of offshore renewable energy structures, such as the presence of artificial habitat, noise, electromagnetic field emission, and species barrier or displacement, as well as observational or modeling methodologies.
