Offshore solar emergence is driven by a lack of available land and the immense decarbonisation targets. It promising area photovoltaic application, with multiple benefits when co-located offshore wind, almost unlimited potential for nations living close to sea. Research understand environmental implications must be carried out in parallel realization first pilot demonstrations. Such pilots provide important opportunities learn collect field data that can used verify untested assumptions...
Abstract This paper reports on a laboratory study that aims to reproduce tidal channel network, in order enhance the understanding of morphodynamic evolution characteristics as network expands and finally reaches equilibrium. A high‐resolution laser system scanned bed topography at different time steps creating multiple digital elevation models network. Two hundred seventy individual segments are analyzed cross‐correlated terms their width, depth length. The results show positive linear...
Abstract. An improved understanding of the effects floating solar platforms on ecosystem is necessary to define acceptable and responsible real-world field implementations this new marine technology. This study examines a number potential offshore photovoltaic (PV) hydrodynamics net primary production in coastal sea for first time. Three contrasting locations within North Sea (a shallow deeper location with well-mixed conditions seasonally stratifying location) have been analysed using water...
The increasing need for renewable energy has led to the transition of devices marine environment. Currently, mainly offshore wind farms have been completely developed and are operational in North Sea. solar sector is also rapidly evolving floating photovoltaics continuously created deployed. In this study, we investigated colonisation patterns community changes with time fouling fauna on first coastal Dutch Samples were collected by divers from underwater side 4 floaters, coated different...
The ocean is becoming crucial for the sustainable development of our blue economy, including offshore renewable energy and food sectors. However, maritime space finite, hosting these industries in combination with managing other uses sea more challenging. Multi-use marine offers an opportunity to optimise limited minimise potential conflicts use.The EU-funded project BAMBOO (Build scAled Modular Bamboo-inspired Offshore sOlar systems), running through 2024-2027, aims develop a blueprint...
The search for, and extraction of, hydrocarbons in carbonate rocks demands a thorough understanding of their depositional anatomy. complexity systems, however, hinders detailed direct characterization volumetric heterogeneity. Information with which to construct reservoir model must therefore be based on information gathered from wells or outcrops transecting the sequence interest. Most (particularly exploration wells) are vertical, presenting problem for geostatistical modeling. While...
Statistical stationarity is a key assumption for the many modeling techniques based on variograms and transiograms used geostatistical reconstruction of subsurface. Stationarity expresses property that rules geometry neighborhood in model are translation invariant, is, no directional change either mean or variance observed. These criteria met when lateral arrangement lithologic elements into facies mosaic isotropic. The balance between isotropy anisotropy defining statistic configuration...
The modern carbonate systems and sabkhas of Abu Dhabi other sites along the Arabian shores Gulf are well established as shallow-marine to onland analogues for local or evaporite formations such Shuaiba Khuff, but they have also successfully been used decades carbonate-evaporite-bearing worldwide (Purser & Evans, 1973; Hughes, 1997, AlSharhan Kendall, 2003). On eastern coast Oman, isolated on edge Peninsula, Bar Al Hikman peninsula provides a recent carbonate-evaporite system that lies around...
In May 1999 a field campaign has been carried out at Omaha beach, macrotidal beach situated along the coastline of Normandy in North France. This is characterised as typical ridge and runnel four intertidal bars can be distinguished. During period two weeks extensive morphological hydrodynamic data have collected. Key objective during was to understand three-dimensional development ridges runnels recognise processes responsible for origin mobility ridges. The paper presented here attempts...

This study examines a number potential offshore PV hydrodynamics net primary production in coastal sea for first time. Three contrasting locations within North Sea (a shallow deeper location with well-mixed conditions summer-stratifying location) have been analysed using water column...
A reservoir model based on subsurface data as well appropriate (reservoir) analogs is a critical field management tool, and therefore should accurately incorporate features affecting fluid storage, distribution flow. However, the complexity of specifically carbonate reservoirs makes detailed direct-characterisation their 3D heterogeneity difficult, this problem worsened in where lateral constraint facies architecture typically poor to non-existent, while information vertical stacking maybe...
Carbonate reservoirs tend to be particularly heterogeneous because, besides physical sedimentary processes, biological and chemical inputs play an important role in shaping the initial depositional architecture. In addition these diagenetic overprints, which can either follow or cross cut primary architecture, introduce another level of complexity by altering porosity permeability. This combination multiple processes interacting both a temporal spatial sense creates carbonate reservoir...
This paper reports on the potential of offshore solar to enhance wind energy projects. Offshore is a novel technology for which first systems by Oceans Energy have surpassed high wave environmental conditions over 3,5 years and received Approval in Principle certification. The system can be installed at sites where it offers benefits terms spatial use, meteorological resource complementarity, synergies. New assessments been conducted test complementarity patterns site island Malta assess...
Spatial heterogeneity is a basic characteristic of carbonate depositional systems. Poor seismic resolution and the limited density well data are not always adequate to extract sufficient information on geometric characteristics facies their horizontal extent at reservoir scale. Examining quantifying spatial patterns, in modern analogs, may elucidate dynamics, assist interpretation subsurface, predict distribution patterns that required as inputs for geologic models. Various quantitative...
