Journal ArticleDOI
Renewable energy and biodiversity: Implications for transitioning to a Green Economy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the existing knowledge at the interface of renewable energy and biodiversity accross the five drivers of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) framework (i.e., habitat loss/change, pollution, overexploitation, climate change and introduction of invasive species).
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical contaminants entering the marine environment from sea-based sources: A review with a focus on European seas
Victoria Tornero,Georg Hanke +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews the literature, with a predominant focus on the European environment, to compile a list of contaminants potentially released into the sea from sea-based sources and provide an overview of their consideration under existing EU regulatory frameworks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing environmental impacts of offshore wind farms: lessons learned and recommendations for the future
TL;DR: The lessons learned based on the recent literature and the experience with assessing impacts of offshore wind developments on marine mammals and seabirds are described, and recommendations are made for future monitoring and assessment as interest in offshore wind energy grows around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying the consequences of ocean sprawl for sedimentary habitats
Eliza C. Heery,Melanie J. Bishop,Lincoln P. Critchley,Ana B. Bugnot,Laura Airoldi,Mariana Mayer-Pinto,Emma V. Sheehan,Ross A. Coleman,Lynette H.L. Loke,Emma L. Johnston,Valeriya Komyakova,Rebecca L. Morris,Elisabeth M. A. Strain,Larissa A. Naylor,Katherine A. Dafforn +14 more
TL;DR: The importance for comprehensive monitoring using robust survey designs is highlighted and research strategies needed to understand, value, and protect marine sedimentary ecosystems in the face of a rapidly changing environment are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obligations and aspirations: A critical evaluation of offshore wind farm cumulative impact assessments
Edward Willsteed,Edward Willsteed,Simon Jude,Andrew B. Gill,Andrew B. Gill,Silvana N.R. Birchenough +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how robust current cumulative impact assessment practise is, and propose a framework to evaluate cumulative impact assessments relative to the information needs of decision-makers tasked with managing cumulative effects.

Journal ArticleDOI
Standardized general-purpose noise reaction questions for community noise surveys: research and a recommendation
J.M. Fields,R.G. de Jong,Truls Gjestland,I.H. Flindell,R.F.S. Job,S. Kurra,Peter Lercher,M. Vallet,Takashi Yano,R. Guski,U. Felscher-Suhr,R. Schumer +11 more
TL;DR: The ICBEN Community Response to Noise (CRO2N) survey as discussed by the authors was the first attempt to measure community response to noise in nine languages for which a standardized empirical study protocol has been followed to select annoyance scale words.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perception and annoyance due to wind turbine noise : a dose–response relationship
TL;DR: The respondents' attitude to the visual impact of wind turbines on the landscape scenery was found to influence noise annoyance, showing higher proportion of people reporting perception and annoyance than expected from the present dose-response relationships for transportation noise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of personal and situational variables on noise annoyance in residential areas
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used methods that control for noise level and data quality to objectively evaluate the evidence on 22 personal and situational explanations for annoyance with environmental noise in residential areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demographic and attitudinal factors that modify annoyance from transportation noise
Henk M. E. Miedema,H. Vos +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of demographic variables (sex, age, education level, occupational status, size of household, homeownership, dependency on the noise source, and use of noise source) and two attitudinal variables (noise sensitivity and fear of the noise sources) on noise annoyance was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wind turbine noise, annoyance and self-reported health and well-being in different living environments
TL;DR: There is a need to take the unique environment into account when planning a new wind farm so that adverse health effects are avoided and the influence of area-related factors should also be considered in future community noise research.
