Harnessing Geothermal Energy Potential from High-Level Nuclear Waste Repositories by Sarsenbayev, Dauren, Zheng, Liange, Ermakova, Dinara, Sharipov, Rashid, Wainwright, Haruko M.

“…TOUGHREACT V3.32 software was used to model the heat transfer resulting from radioactive decay to the surrounding geological media. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of employing the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to generate approximately 108 kWe per HLW canister 30 years after emplacement and a heat pump system to produce 81 kWth of high-potential heat per canister for HVAC purposes within the same timeframe. …”

Eviction as a community health exposure by Schwartz, Gabriel L., Leifheit, Kathryn M., Arcaya, Mariana C., Keene, Danya

“…In this narrative review, we summarize evidence and lay out a theoretical model for eviction as a community health exposure, mediated through four paths: 1) shifting ecologies of infectious disease and health behaviors, 2) disruption of neighborhood social cohesion, 3) strain on social networks, and 4) increasing salience of eviction risk. …”

Tropical forest clearance impacts biodiversity and function whereas logging changes structure by Marsh, C, Turner, EG, Blonder, BW, Hemprich-Bennett, D, Riutta, T, Slade, EM, Lewis, O, Hector, A

“…We present an extensive ecosystem analysis of the impacts of logging and conversion of tropical forest to oil palm from a large-scale study in Borneo, synthesizing responses from 82 variables categorized into four ecological levels spanning a broad suite of ecosystem properties: (i) structure and environment, (ii) species traits, (iii) biodiversity, and (iv) ecosystem functions. …”

Fair division for avoidance of biodiversity impacts by Booth, H, Milner-Gulland, E, Bang, A, Bull, J, Moreno-Ternero, JD, Squires, D

“…Biodiversity is declining at alarming rates, with some negative impacts caused by activities that are necessary for meeting basic human needs and others which should be avoided to prevent ecological collapse. Avoidance of biodiversity impacts is costly; these costs must be distributed fairly. …”

Neap-spring tidal effects on dissolved oxygen in two Malaysian estuaries by Nelson, Bruce W., Sasekumar, A., Ibrahim, Zelina Z.

“…These oxygen minima are attributed to the high oxygen demand of sediment that rests on the bottom during neap tides and is resuspended during spring tides. The ecological effects of tidal cycling patterns of dissolved oxygen in these Malaysian estuaries need further study, within the context of land use patterns and other human activities.…”
