Kisco, N.Y., but he lived in San Francisco and Stanford as a young boy. He had two older brothers, Gordon L. Poole and Roger Poole
Harnessing Marine Renewable Energy from Poole Harbour: Case Study
No full textGlobal warming and its impact on our environment, society, economies and security is one of the fundamental concerns of our time. In response, the United Kingdom government has put in place a legally binding target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions on 1990 levels by 2050. The United Kingdom will need to achieve a tenfold expansion of energy supply from renewable sources by 2020 to meet its share of the European Union renewable energy target. The marine and coastal environment’s renewable energy potential in Britain is high. It is estimated that it has 50% of the tidal energy, 35% of wave and 40% of wind resources in the European Union. Use of geothermal resources using heat pump technology is the least evolved sector, but in 2010 contributed to 0.7 TWh of energy and it is believed that non domestic heat pumps could contribute up to 22 TWh by 2020. In the Southwest of England, Poole Harbour has been recognised as a potential, highly predictable source of tidal and heat energy. Local groups are embarking on a feasibility study for harnessing this energy for the benefit of the community. The purpose of this article is to examine the potential conflict of interest between the laudable aims of promoting the use of renewable energy and of safeguarding ecosystems and their biodiversity. Using Poole Harbour as a case study, it will consider the environmental and economic costs and benefits of a Community Renewable Energy project (the Poole Tidal Energy Partnership) in the context of an area subject to a number of statutory and non-statutory designations to protect nationally and internationally important habitats and species. The paper identifies key environmental legislation, including spatial planning law and policy, which will facilitate exploring whether there is potential for reconciling what may be perceived as competing objectives for sustainable development
Interview with Jeff Poole, 2018.
No full textThis oral history interview was conducted by Gregory Peek as part of The Joe Anthony Project. Summary of the interview by Gregory Peek: "Jeff Poole is the drummer for the rock band Legs Diamond, a Los Angeles-based hard rock band that formed in 1975. Songs from their 1977 album A Diamond is a Hard Rock were a favorite of San Antonio radio DJ Joe Anthony and received consistent radio airplay. By April 1977 the band played San Antonio for a concert at the Municipal Auditorium where they opened for Bob Seger. By November of that same year the band was the touring headliner. Of particular note is the song "Woman," the fourth track off of A Diamond and a San Antonio fan favorite.

Long-term morphological model of Poole Harbour
No full textThe study focuses on the impact of human interventions on the natural behaviour of estuaries in response to sea-level rise. In particular it focuses on the affect of managed realignment on the critical sea level rise (SLRcrit) for the Poole Harbour. Numerical model ASMITA (Aggregated Scale Morphological Interaction between a Tidal inlet and the Adjacent coast, Stive and Wang, 1996) is used to study the response of the system to the external forcing (both natural and anthropogenic). ASMITA model schematises the tidal-inlet system and characterises each model element by a single variable volume. Volumetric data of the Poole harbour inlet elements obtained through the digitisation of the historical admiralty charts was used to calibrate the model. The model assumes that the each inlet elements tends towards an equilibrium volume which can be defined using the empirical equations. These equilibrium equations consist of equilibrium parameters that depend on the regional properties like hydrodynamics and topography of the Poole harbour. Once the model is calibrated, simulations were performed with various sea level rise scenarios (historic and future SLR) to observe the natural behaviour of the Poole harbour. Managed realignment is being introduced in the model and a range of values of critical sea-level rise was obtained and compared with the predicted sea-level rise rate given in the literature for the next century. Results suggest that the “hold the line” management scenario (current situation) would not result in the complete loss of inter-tidal flats and the coastal flooding is unlikely to occur over the next century, as a result of critical sea-level rise values exceeds the predicted rate. However research suggests, introducing realignment (coastline retreat management scenario) reduces SLRcrit values for the estuary; thus making the estuary more sensitive to the predicted future SLR rates.CoMEMHydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
