Energy and the Environment-A Coastal Perspective

The Gulf Stream is a current which travels from the Gulf of Mexico, around the coast of Florida, along the mid-Atlantic cast, and toward Europe and possesses vast amounts of energy. This current moves eight billion gallons of water every minute. The energy behind movement of this water could be harnessed as a clean energy […]

The Water-Energy Nexus has become an increasingly nascent consideration for innovating solutions to environmental problems and managing natural resources. The term simply explains the inextricable connection between water and energy, meaning sources of one are often required by the presence of the other (Gliek 1994.) Fresh water resources is now considered one scarcest natural resources […]

As carbon dioxide remains one of the most targeted and analyzed compounds contributing to both Earth’s natural and anthropogenic greenhouse effect and subsequent global warming, scientists and citizens alike turn to the abilities of natural features to engage in carbon sequestration to capture and store detrimental atmospheric carbon. There are many approaches to deal with […]

In 2010 ten states on the East Coast agreed to create renewable energy projects in the form of offshore wind farms. These states include Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Virginia and make up the The Atlantic Offshore Wind Energy Consortium, according to Tina Casey of […]
