 In the domain of energy systems, paradoxes show that history runs often against what is expected or predicted. This article reviews the paradoxes related with the transition from wood to coal, and then from coal/oil to nuclear, and concludes by lifting a corner of the veil on the paradoxes that have already surfaced in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy (green paradoxes).

Conference session 'Beyond the shoreline: Coastal Dunes, Aeolian Processes, and Human Impacts' - EGU Conference - April 14-19, 2024

Session Details:

Convener: Glenn Strypsteen

Co-conveners: Michel Riksen, Jan-Markus Homberger, Andreas Baas, Kathelijne M. Wijnberg

Abstract Submission Deadline: January 10, 2024 13:00 CET

EGU Conference Dates: April 14-19, 2024

Location: Vienna, Austria

Session Overview:

Coastal dunes, essential for safety and habitat development, are facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change factors. Increased storm events, shifting wind patterns, and rising sea levels are influencing the long-term evolution of coastal landscapes, creating a complex interplay of internal dynamics within the eco-physical system.

Despite qualitative insights into individual factors shaping coastal dune landscapes, a critical gap exists in quantifying their integrated effects on a landscape scale. This session aims to bridge that knowledge gap by exploring the intricate relationships between coastal dunes, aeolian sediment transport, human interventions, climate change, and ecosystem functions.

Why Participate?

• Explore cutting-edge research in coastal dunes, aeolian processes, and human impacts.
• Foster knowledge exchange through field measurements/experiments and modelling.
• Contribute to the development of management strategies for safeguarding coastal ecosystems.

Call for thematic dossiers: HoST – Journal of History of Science and Technology (2025)

HoST - Journal of History of Science and Technology, recently indexed by Scopus, is an open access, on-line peer-reviewed international journal devoted to the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, published in English by a group of Portuguese research institutions and Sciendo. HoST encourages submissions of original historical research exploring the cultural, social and political dimensions of science, technology, and medicine (STM), both from a local and a global perspective.

Past thematic issues have dealt with topics as diverse as circulation, science communication, natural history, or the relation between science, technology and politics. Future issues might deal with both established and emerging areas of scholarship. The editors of HoST are looking for proposals for two thematic dossiers to be published in 2025 (HoST volume 19, issue 1-June; issue 2-December).

Each thematic dossier should be prepared by the guest editor(s) and include four research papers along with an introduction.

Proposals should include the following items:

An abstract describing the topic for the thematic dossier and its significance (500 words);

A list of the contributors along with the titles and abstracts (300 words each) of the four research papers;

Brief CVs (300 words) of the guest editor(s) and authors.

The guest editor(s) and the contributors must be prepared to meet HoST's publication schedule:

Deadline for the submission of proposals (general abstract, paper titles and abstracts, and brief CVs) - 20 January 2024

Deadline for the submission of research papers to be published in the June 2025 issue - 31 July 2024

Deadline for the submission of research papers to be published in the December 2025 issue - 30 December 2024

Proposals will be subject to approval by the Editorial Board and authors will be informed of the outcome by February 2024.

Submissions should be sent as an e-mail attachment (preferably in one single .doc, .docx, .rtf or .odt file), to the chief-editor: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
