Global increases in environmental noise levels–arising from expansion of human
populations, transportation networks, and resource extraction–have catalysed a recent …

The global demand for renewable energy is on the rise. Expansion of onshore wind energy
is in many parts of the world limited by societal acceptance, and also ecological impacts are …

Offshore wind power provides a valuable source of renewable energy that can help reduce
carbon emissions. Technological advances are allowing higher capacity turbines to be …

Marine management plans over the world express high expectations to the development of
offshore wind energy. This would obviously contribute to renewable energy production, but …

Marine noise pollution (MNP) can cause a multitude of impacts on many organisms, but
information is often scattered and general outcomes difficult to assess. We have reviewed …

Renewable energy sectors have been rapidly growing over the last three decades due to
the environmental concerns regarding fossil fuels and increasing demand of energy by …

Wind energy development contributes substantially to achieve climate protection goals.
Unintended side effects, especially on wildlife, have long been discussed and substantial …

The expected increase in the offshore wind farm (OWF) developments to meet global
decarbonisation targets is raising concerns in the scientific community about the ecological …

Changes in natural patterns of animal behaviour and physiology resulting from
anthropogenic disturbance may alter the conservation status of a population if they affect the …

The impact of underwater noise on marine life calls for identification of exposure criteria to
inform mitigation. Here we review recent experimental evidence with focus on the high …
