A Comparative State-of-the-Art Review on Hydrodynamics of Floating Breakwaters

As marine development extends into deep and far-offshore waters, fixed breakwaters become increasingly costly and difficult to construct and may have greater environmental impacts. Floating breakwaters (FBs) offer flexible deployment across a wide range of water depths and have therefore received growing attention. Yet...

Seasonal assessment of groundwater quality and irrigation suitability using a solar-powered AgNP/activated carbon treatment system in a coastal aquifer

The increasing water scarcity, groundwater degradation, and climate variability have increased the demand for sustainable groundwater management strategies in arid and semiarid regions. This work presents an integrated framework for groundwater monitoring and irrigation suitability assessment of groundwater from 13 bor...

The Role of Civil Society Organizations in Climate Action in Africa: A Case Study of the “YLE Foundation”

Africa is responsible for a small part of the emissions of greenhouse gases around the globe; however, it is still one of the regions that are most susceptible to the impacts of climate change. Civil Society Organizations (CSO) play an important role in initiating measures that target the reduction of climate change ef...
