Optimizing counterinsurgency operations
… These types of models depend on data from historic counterinsurgencies, but scholars differ on how to compare historic counterinsurgencies to an ongoing or future conflict. One such method to analyze counterinsurgencies applies a classification scheme to them, and then compares …

Wave energy resource assessment
The use of satellite altimeter data for spatial mapping of the wave resource is examined.<br/>A new algorithm for estimating wave period from altimeter data is developed and<br/>validated, which enables estimates of wave energy converter (WEC) power to be<br/>derived. Maps of the long-term mean WEC …
