Understanding the effects of weather and topography on fire spread in specific contexts,
such as oceanic islands, is critical for supporting fire prevention and suppression strategies …

The ingestion of microplastics (MPs-plastic particles< 5 mm) by planktivorous organisms
represents a significant threat to marine food webs. To investigate how seasonality might …

When planning wind farms it is important to optimize the layout to increase production and
reduce costs. In this paper we minimize the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for a floating …

The Island Mass Effect has been primarily attributed to nutrient enhancement of waters
surrounding oceanic islands due to physical processes, whereas the role of land runoff has …

The exchange of trace gases between the atmosphere and the ocean plays a key role in the
Earth's climate. Fluxes at the air-sea interface are affected mainly by wind blowing over the …

During the summer months, the northeasterly trade winds im**ing on Madeira Island lead
to the establishment of a quasi‐permanent wind pattern with two tip jets emerging near the …

The interaction between the incoming winds and high mountainous islands produces a wind-
sheltered area on the leeward side, known as the atmospheric wake. In addition to weaker …

The climate of western Europe and northwest Africa strongly depends on the Azores
anticyclone strength, location, and shape and, locally, also on the characteristics of the …

The upcoming environmental regulations when applied to the aquaculture sector will further
require that the industry adopt routine control methodologies and results registration, to …

Sea turtles have various life-stages, typically being oceanic foragers as juveniles while
shifting to more coastal habitats as they mature. The present study focuses on the least …
