Energy Paradoxes, Frontiers in Energy Research

Madureira, NL, Energy ParadoxesFrontiers in Energy Research, Frontiers ,vol. 9 , June 2021, Article 686140, open acess.

 

In the domain of energy systems, paradoxes show that history runs often against what is expected or predicted. This article reviews the paradoxes related with the transition from wood to coal, and then from coal/oil to nuclear, and concludes by lifting a corner of the veil on the paradoxes that have already surfaced in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy (green paradoxes).

Call - Conference session 'Beyond the shoreline: Coastal Dunes, Aeolian Processes, and Human Impacts'

Conference session 'Beyond the shoreline: Coastal Dunes, Aeolian Processes, and Human Impacts' - EGU Conference - April 14-19, 2024

Session Details:

Convener: Glenn Strypsteen

Co-conveners: Michel Riksen, Jan-Markus Homberger, Andreas Baas, Kathelijne M. Wijnberg

Abstract Submission Deadline: January 10, 2024 13:00 CET

EGU Conference Dates: April 14-19, 2024

Location: Vienna, Austria

Session Overview:

Coastal dunes, essential for safety and habitat development, are facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change factors. Increased storm events, shifting wind patterns, and rising sea levels are influencing the long-term evolution of coastal landscapes, creating a complex interplay of internal dynamics within the eco-physical system.

Despite qualitative insights into individual factors shaping coastal dune landscapes, a critical gap exists in quantifying their integrated effects on a landscape scale. This session aims to bridge that knowledge gap by exploring the intricate relationships between coastal dunes, aeolian sediment transport, human interventions, climate change, and ecosystem functions.

Why Participate?

  • Explore cutting-edge research in coastal dunes, aeolian processes, and human impacts.
  • Foster knowledge exchange through field measurements/experiments and modelling.
  • Contribute to the development of management strategies for safeguarding coastal ecosystems.
