This repository provides data and code for blade shape selection of micro-hydrokinetic rotors in sediment-laden tropical rivers. It includes a MATLAB blade element momentum solver, an Oka-family erosion model with Stokes-number partition, a…

Kunju Mol Raj, Robin

This dataset provides empirical evidence on the dynamic relationships between carbon pricing, energy markets, and exchange rates in European currency markets. It supports research on how carbon pricing policies influence international finan…

Hughes, Hunter

This monograph argues that the Global South faces a structural break due to climate, debt, geopolitical, and AI-driven shocks, making traditional fossil-fueled growth obsolete. It proposes five pillars: decentralized clean electrification, …

Жиенбаева, Айсанем

This paper analyzes mechanisms for harmonizing environmental accounting and reporting internationally, comparing IFRS S1/S2, GRI, ESRS, SASB, and TCFD. It finds that aligned approaches enhance comparability and information quality, offering…

Alves, Marcela, Palola, Pirta, Bailey, Emma +3

This talk shares the software engineering effort to transform a baseline agent-based model (ABM) into a tool for comparing UK Net Zero policy intervention scenarios. It combines coding economic shocks, a UK-specific data pipeline, Monte Car…
