Modeling Interactions Between Cities and Climate Across Scales
Cities now house more than half of humanity and consume the majority of energy resources. Urban areas alter climate and atmospheric chemistry in ways that can be important at regional to global scales. However, processes influencing climate, as well as the impacts of climate extremes, are often important at the scale of individual […]
As wind energy scales up, researchers study the fluid dynamics challenges — ScienceDaily
Twenty years ago, wind energy was mostly a niche industry that contributed less than 1% to the total electricity demand in the United States. Wind has since emerged as a serious contender in the race to develop clean, renewable energy sources that can sustain the grid and meet the ever-rising global energy demand. Last year, […]
