The use of offshore wind turbines in coastal zones is the most promising method for clean energy production from the environment. Theyamplify the advantages of land based turbines due to the greater wind potential in the unprotected coasts and the vast areas of coastlines,whilst, in addition, avoid the disadvantages associated with deep water installations at the open sea (e.g. wind turbines mount ...

Adaptation in the face of climate change is currently a major challenge, not only in the EU, but all around the world. Climate change has two distinct characters: the slower trends in climatic variables such as sea water temperatur, and the extreme weather phenomena, such as heavy precipitation. The fundamental driver for regional adaptation are regional climate scenarios. Crucial for local societ ...
