      In the marine environment, greening of grey infrastructure (GGI) is a rapidly growing field that attempts to encourage native marine life to colonize marine artificial structures to enhance biodiversity, thereby promoting ...
    • The world must rethink plans for ageing oil and gas platforms 

      Knights, A; Lemasson, A; Frost, M; Somerfield, P (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024-03-07)
      Earth’s oceans are awash with ageing energy infrastructure. A change in the law is needed to ensure that these structures are decommissioned in ways that maximize environmental and societal benefits.
