Here’s why UK tides are soon going to play a much bigger part in powering your home (2022)
Newspaper / Magazine
Waldman, S. (2022). Here’s why UK tides are soon going to play a much bigger part in powering your home

Tidal energy has long lurked at the back of the UK’s renewable energy arsenal, outshone by its wind and solar counterparts due in part to early issues with technology readiness and high costs.

Yet with recent research showing it could provide 11%... Read More about Here’s why UK tides are soon going to play a much bigger part in powering your home.

How reproducible should research software be? (2021)
Preprint / Working Paper
Harrison, S., Dasgupta, A., Waldman, S., Henderson, A., & Lovell, C. (2021). How reproducible should research software be?

How reproducible should research software be? In this article, we attempt to answer this question by defining four levels of reproducibility, suggesting criteria to help you decide which level your research software should be at, and recommended prac...
