From Science News:

Climate change may have changed the direction of the North Pole's
drift

A mid-1990s change in pole movement coincided with increased
glacial melting

Sid Perkins
April 28, 2021

A sudden zag in which way the North Pole was drifting in the
1990s probably stemmed in large part from glacial melt caused by
climate change, a new study suggests.

The locations of Earth's geographic poles, where the planet's
axis pierces the surface, aren't fixed. Instead, they wander in
seasonal and near-annual cycles, largely driven by weather
patterns and ocean currents. But in addition to moving about in
relatively tight swirls just a few meters across, the poles drift
over time as the planet's weight distribution shifts and alters
its rotation around its axis.

Before the mid-1990s, the North Pole had been drifting toward the
western edge of Canada's Ellesmere Island. But then the pole
veered eastward by about 71 degrees toward the northeastern tip
of Greenland. It's continued to head that way, moving about 10
centimeters per year. Scientists aren't quite sure why this shift
occurred, says Suxia Liu, a hydrologist at the Institute of
Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research in Beijing.

Liu and colleagues checked how well the polar drift trends
matched data from previous studies on glacial melt worldwide. In
particular, glacier melt in Alaska, Greenland and the southern
Andes accelerated in the 1990s. The timing of that melting, as
well as the effects it would have had on Earth's mass
distribution, suggests that glacial melt induced by climate
change helped trigger the change in polar drift, the team reports
in the April 16 Geophysical Research Letters.

The team's analysis shows that while glacier melting can account
for much of the change in polar drift, it doesn't explain all of
it. So other factors must be at play. With copious irrigation,
for example, groundwater pumped from aquifers in one region can
end up in an ocean far away. Like glacial melt, water management
alone can't explain the North Pole's tack, the team reports, but
it can give the Earth's axis a substantial nudge.

The findings "reveal how much human activity can have an impact
on changes to the mass of water stored on land," says Vincent
Humphrey, a climate scientist at the University of Zurich not
involved in this study. And they show how large these mass shifts
can be, he says. "They're so big that they can change the axis of
the Earth."

From New Atlas:

Orbital launches O2, the "most powerful tidal turbine in the
world"

Loz Blain
April 25, 2021

Scotland's Orbital Marine Power (formerly Scotrenewables) has
completed the build on what it claims will be the world's most
powerful operational tidal turbine. It's now on its way to the
Orkney Islands, where it'll have a chance to prove its worth
connected to the grid.

Solar energy is a key part of the energy mix that'll push us
towards zero carbon emissions – but lunar energy might have a
role to play too. As the moon's gravity pulls at the Earth's
surface, it heaves vast quantities of ocean water around the
globe in predictable patterns. Where this water is forced through
narrow gaps or around headlands, it speeds up, and it's possible
to harvest the kinetic energy of that mass of water using
turbines under the ocean's surface. This is called tidal power.

It's not new; people across Europe and the Middle East were
sticking water wheels on the outflow of pools that fill up with
the tides to grind corn as far back as the middle ages.

Today's biggest tidal energy projects, Korea's Sihwa Lake Tidal
Power Plant and the Rance Tidal Power Station in France, have
both been built using enormous and extremely expensive undersea
walls, or barrages. These barrage systems close sluice gates at
low tide, then open them up at high tide to take advantage of the
height differential to run turbines. They work well, but the
installation cost is stratospheric and the stifling of natural
water flow has had some negative environmental consequences.

Orbital's approach is targeted to keeping costs as low as
possible. It uses floating turbines, installed in channels that
accelerate tidal flows. These turbine platforms are moored to the
ocean floor at four points using extremely strong chains, meaning
the undersea work to install them is quick, cheap and minimal.

The turbines are joined to the main platform with huge arms, and
their giant blades can be reversed in pitch between tide cycles
to generate power whichever way the water's moving. Energy is
sent back to shore through thick undersea cables, and the
platform's arms can articulate to bring the turbines up out of
the water for simple inspection and maintenance without any scuba
gear required.

Orbital's prototype, the SR2000, was installed in 2017 with a
rated capacity of 2 MW, and generated some 3 GWh in its first
year of operation despite mainly being an R&D platform.

Now the production version is complete, and it's expected to do
significantly better. The O2 is also rated at 2 MW, with twin
20-meter (65.6-ft) rotors sweeping more than 600 square meters
(6,460 sq ft) of area below the surface, on the end of
18-meter-long (60-ft) articulating arms. The platform itself is
some 74 m (243 ft) long. The company says it "has the ability to
generate enough clean, predictable electricity to meet the demand
of around 2,000 UK homes and offset approximately 2,200 tonnes of
CO2 production per year."

As to Orbital's claim that the O2 will be the "world's most
powerful operational tidal turbine," well, that statement
probably needs some more qualifiers. Each of the Rance station's
24 turbines peak at 10 MW and average 2.375 MW over the course of
a year. Each of the Sihwa Lake installation's 10 turbines is
rated at 25.4 MW and averages 6.3 MW, producing about 55 GWh each
year toward a 550-GWh total for the facility.

So perhaps the O2 is the most powerful floating tidal turbine, or
the most powerful tidal turbine not connected to a barrage
system, but it seems to us the odd asterisk is required next to
that claim.

Either way, it'll go online for a fraction of the cost of the
US$298-million-dollar Sihwa facility. Produced entirely on land,
the O2 can simply be launched like a ship and floated out to its
location to be moored, commissioned and connected to the grid.

And cost is of the essence for green energy technologies. The
most important numbers for Orbital will be how much power the O2
generates annually, how much it costs to build and run, how much
it can sell that power for in a given market, and how long it'll
last in the corrosive undersea environment. The world can
certainly do with more predictable power sources that can operate
when the sun's not shining and the wind's not blowing – but tidal
generators will be dead in the water if the price isn't right.
