Contributions from sea level variability changes to extreme sea level projections in western Europe
Future projections of extreme sea level (ESWL) are critical for assessing coastal flood risk in western Europe. Current assessments often rely on static approaches, overlooking the dynamic interplay of sea-level variability. This research utilizes a regional 3D ocean model to quantify how changes in tides, storm surges, and seasonal cycles modify ESWL projections, revealing potential amplifications of up to 40% compared to static estimates. Notably, regional drivers vary—tidal changes dominate in the English Channel, while storm surges impact the North Sea.
Major U.K Offshore Wind Site Abandoned By BP Is Back Up For Auction
The Morgan offshore wind project, a significant prospective development in the Irish Sea capable of generating up to 1.5 gigawatts, is once again available following BP’s withdrawal. The Crown Estate has initiated a new tender process to secure a developer for this substantial site. This represents a renewed opportunity to advance offshore wind capacity in the U.K., crucial for achieving climate indicators and energy security goals.
