An alternative solution for achieving a high stability floating foundation for supporting large horizontal axis wind turbines is compared against current floating offshore wind solutions. The testing of a 1:36th scale model of the solution, called Starfloat, in the wind/wave basin of the Cantabria Coastal and Ocean Basin, Santander and the design of this physical model, including scaling issues, is discussed. A...

This work aims to study recent climatic oscillations and their influence on sedimentation in the Ria de Vigo, a coastal embayment in Galicia, NW Spain. It is based on the study of clay mineral assemblages, in conjunction with other proxies (granulometric, geochemical, geochronological and microfaunal), in the core KSGX 24. A Benthic Foraminifera High Productivity (BFHP) proxy was used to determine changes in th...

Harbours are important man made economic structures that are usually constructed in hydrodynamic complex settings. Their life/service cycle, integrity and maintenance are highly dependent on the knowledge of these settings and the capability to predict future changes and thus their economic impact. In this paper, data regarding bottom and suspended sediments of the Aveiro Harbour inlet were gathered and analyse...
