Mass transfer between bubbles and seawater is an important mechanism when determining how much gas reaches the atmosphere from gas sources at the seabed. The mass transfer coefficient is a governing parameter for the phenomenon. Experiments on small bubbles in seawater have been performed where the bubble...

Floods and stormwater events are the costliest natural catastrophes. Costs are expected to increase due to urbanization and climate change. Mitigation is needed, and is already ongoing in certain cases. Different stakeholders with different motivations unfortunately often evaluate vulnerability by using...

Microplastic pollution has been reported in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems, from the sea surface to sediments, from beaches to the deep sea, from lakes to rivers, from the tropics to the poles, and in a wide range of organisms representing different trophic levels. Our current understanding...

...designed to lift water to a reservoir at higher elevation when the electricity demand is low or when prices are low, and turbine water to produce electricity when the demand is high and/or prices are high. PSP are often designed with a relative high capacity to operate in turbine or pumping mode only...

...increasingly interconnected, automated, and complex, from a human centred approach to digital connectivity. This involves new opportunities but also implies new vulnerabilities. This paper present maritime transport challenges when implementing automated vessels, and especially how this may affect cooperation...
