Ocean of Tomorrow: Investment Assessment of Multi-Use Offshore Platforms: Methodology and Applications - Volume 1 - Volume 56

This volume develops and applies an integrated socio-economic assessment of multi-use offshore platforms in European marine locations.

The sites assessed regard infrastructures in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic coast.

The assessment uses the results from the natural and engineering sciences as inputs, boundaries and constraints to the socio-economic analysis.

The content of the book develops in a step-by-step, coherent and integrated manner.

The presentation and the discussion on the methodology are followed by the detailed assessment of specific multi-use offshore platforms.

A detailed risk analysis follows in which the results of the socio-economic assessment are integrated.

This is complemented with sensitivity analysis.
