Submarine Slope Failure Primed and Triggered by Bottom Water Warming in Oceanic Hydrate-Bearing Deposits

Kwon, Tae-Hyuk; Cho, Gye-Chun - In: Energies 5 (2012) 8, pp. 2849-2873

Many submarine slope failures in hydrate-bearing sedimentary deposits might be directly triggered, or at least primed, by gas hydrate dissociation. It has been reported that during the past 55 years (1955–2010) the 0–2000 m layer of oceans worldwide has been warmed by 0.09 °C because of...

The Impact of a Carbon Tax on the Chilean Electricity Generation Sector

Benavides, Carlos; Gonzales, Luis; Diaz, Manuel; … - In: Energies 8 (2015) 4, pp. 2674-2700

This paper aims to analyse the economy-wide implications of a carbon tax applied on the Chilean electricity generation sector. In order to analyse the macroeconomic impacts, both an energy sectorial model and a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model have been used. During the year 2014 a...

Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Global Hydropower

Hamududu, Byman; Killingtveit, Aanund - In: Energies 5 (2012) 2, pp. 305-322

Currently, hydropower accounts for close to 16% of the world’s total power supply and is the world’s most dominant (86%) source of renewable electrical energy. The key resource for hydropower generation is runoff, which is dependent on precipitation. The future global climate is uncertain...
