Understanding extinction risk in the Anthropocene

University of Reading Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

We live in a humanized world in which even the most remote areas have been affected by the actions of our species. Human impacts have caused a widespread loss of biodiversity, to the point that we have likely entered the sixth mass extinction event on Earth, the first primarily caused by humans. Read more

Adjoint based optimization of vertical axis wind turbines

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

Recently vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have been more installed in urban areas than before. They are known to perform better in urban regions compared to horizontal axis wind turbines as they do not require alignment to the oncoming flow. Read more
