What's happening on Heard Island & McDonald Islands?
Landing stores, Atlas Cove, Heard Island with Rogers Head in background Photo: Alan Campbell-Drury Due to the extreme isolation of Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI), together with the persistently severe weather and sea conditions, human activities in the region have been, and remain, limited.
Are there scientific studies on Heard Island?
Although hindered by the extreme isolation and unfavourable working conditions, scientific studies have been carried out on Heard Island since the first research visit by scientists from the HMS Challenger in 1874. See the Research Expeditions pages in the History section of this website for more information.
How many private yachts have visited Heard Island?
A low number of private yachts and commercial tourist vessels have visited Heard Island, although few successful landings have been made due to poor weather. Other private expeditions have included brief visits by ham radio enthusiasts, private scientific groups and mountaineering parties.
Why do people visit Heard Island?
Visits to Heard Island were initially associated with wildlife resource exploitation (see the 19th century sealing pages in the History section of this website) and then for research and management, private expeditions and for surveillance purposes.
How many people have landed on Heard Island?
Since the first landing on Heard Island in 1855, there have been only approximately 240 shore-based visits to the island, and only two landings on McDonald Island (in 1971 and 1980).
How has the wind power market changed over the years?
The wind power market has grown at a CAGR of 14% between 2010 and 2021 to reach 830 GW by end of 2021. This has largely been possible due to favourable government policies that have provided incentives to the sector. This has led to an increase in the share of...
Cambodia micro grid power
Okra Solar has developed a creative solution, where the excess power not used by one household can be shared with the rest of the community. Thanks to Okra’s new DC mesh grid microgrid network, integrating both existing distribution, local power generation and storage, and smart data software, nearly 150,000. . Okra Solar’s mesh grids combine both physical hardware, including solar panels, battery storage, and existing and new transmission equipment. . According to Okra Solar operations manager Otteh Edubio, a key benefit of their system is that the DC mesh grid “can be installed for a fraction. . Affordable, reliable access to sustainable energy—United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7—is critical for achieving many of the other SDGs, including poverty. . Thanks to this mesh system, almost all the households in Steung Chrov have their own solar and battery system that can power small appliances. Okra Solar’s system uses the Okra Pod, a DC-to-DC controller system that. [pdf]
