Wave energy converter utilizing internal reaction mass and spring
David B. Stewart,James S. Gerber +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a wave energy converter (WEC) is constructed such that, when placed in a body of water and in response to waves in the water, there is relative motion betweenl the shell (10) and the internal oscillator's mass (20).
Journal ArticleDOI

Heather Tallis,Peter L. Hawthorne,Stephen Polasky,Joseph P. Reid,Michael W. Beck,Michael W. Beck,Kate A. Brauman,Jeffrey M. Bielicki,Seth Binder,Matthew G. Burgess,E. S. Cassidy,Adam Thomas Clark,Joseph Fargione,Edward T. Game,Edward T. Game,James S. Gerber,Forest Isbell,Joseph M. Kiesecker,Robert I. McDonald,Marc Metian,Jennifer L. Molnar,N. D. Mueller,Christine S. O’Connell,Daniel Ovando,Max Troell,Max Troell,Timothy M. Boucher,Brian McPeek +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a global, spatially explicit, systems modeling approach to explore the possibility of meeting the demands of increased populations and economic growth in 2050 while simultaneously advancing multiple conservation goals.
Progress towards sustainable intensification in China challenged by land-use change
Kate A. Brauman,L. Zuo,Z. Zhang,Kimberly M. Carlson,Graham K. MacDonald,X. Zhao,James S. Gerber,Paul C. West +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate spatio-temporal trade-offs among crop production and five key environmental indicators, including land use, water consumption, excess nitrogen and phosphorous use, and greenhouse gas emissions in China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping global development potential for renewable energy, fossil fuels, mining and agriculture sectors
James R. Oakleaf,Christina M. Kennedy,Sharon Baruch-Mordo,James S. Gerber,Paul C. West,Justin A. Johnson,Joseph M. Kiesecker +6 more
TL;DR: 1-km spatially-explicit global land suitability maps are generated, referred to as “development potential indices” (DPIs), for 13 sectors related to renewable energy, fossil fuels, mining, and agriculture to illustrate how these DPIs can be used to elucidate potential individual sector expansion and cumulative development patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
A World at Risk: Aggregating Development Trends to Forecast Global Habitat Conversion.
James R. Oakleaf,Christina M. Kennedy,Sharon Baruch-Mordo,Paul C. West,James S. Gerber,Larissa Jarvis,Joseph M. Kiesecker +6 more
TL;DR: This work project and aggregate global spatial patterns of expected urban and agricultural expansion, conventional and unconventional oil and gas, coal, solar, wind, biofuels and mining development, which could result in half of the world’s biomes becoming >50% converted while doubling and tripling the extent of land converted in South America and Africa.
