I would also like to thank Dr. João Luís de Jesus Fernandes for his invaluable orientation, insight and great support throughout this thesis, as well as for opening my mind up to new perspectives and ways of thinking. Also, I would like to thank Flavia Carlet for her master transcription and translations skills in the language of Portuguese, as this allowed for the results of this study to be analysed and shared. Lastly I would like to think my friends and the humble, open and kind people of Pico Island, as without their support and participation this study could not of happened. ABSTRACT Globally, the dominant energy paradigm of our time is being challenged and changed. As the negative impacts, conflicts and uncertainty over the future supply of fossil fuel energies persists, alternative options are increasingly being adopted and promoted. Principal amongst these are renewable energies, options believed to be sustainable, cleaner and to have a lower environmental impact than that of our current carbon energy regime. Shifting to a renewable energy regime, however, is bound to bring with it its own set of impacts, conflicts and challenges, as energy affects the landscape and the landscape affects energy. The purpose of this study has been to examine the change to a new renewable energy paradigm through an energy geography lens. This study has attempted to do so by examining a remote island where a shift from the dominant fossil fuel paradigm to one powered by renewable energies is taking place. The Island of Pico in the Autonomous Region of the Azores was selected for this analysis. This island, being an outermost region of the EU, was selected due to the fact that it has an isolated energy system that is not connected to any outside energy source, and therefore, it has to produce all its energy locally. It was believed that Pico may serve as an example of how a place that is totally dependent on fossil fuel imports may aim to switch to locally produce 100% of its energy from renewable sources. This study was carried out in three parts: first, a theoretical component involving a literature review on types of energy and the discipline of geography; second, an examination of paradigm shifts on two other EU Islands; and third, a practical component involving a case study analysis conducted on Pico Island through structured interviews and a survey questionnaire. Such a change in paradigm does seem possible for Pico, as the vast majority of participants believed such a change was possible, that it would be positive for Pico and its image, and they are open to seeing it happen. How, if and when Pico will achieve a 100% shift of paradigm remains to be seen. It was also found that it remains unclear as to whether Pico Island may follow or adapt the models used by other islands or if it must develop its own model to make this shift. This is something that requires further study. Keywords: energy geography; renewable energy systems, energy paradigm, remote islands, energy self-sufficiency. RESUMO Globalmente, o paradigma dominante de energia do nosso tempo está sendo desafiado e modificado. Em razão dos impactos negativos, dos conflitos e da incerteza quanto ao futuro fornecimento de combustíveis fósseis, alternativas estão sendo cada vez mais adotadas e impulsionadas. A principal delas, são as energias renováveis, consideradas sustentáveis, limpas e de menor impacto ambiental se comparadas ao atual regime de energia de carbono. Entretanto, uma mudança para o regime de energia renovável, inevitavelmente, traz consigo impactos, conflitos e desafios, a exemplo da energia afetar a paisagem e a paisagem afetar a energia. O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar a mudança de um paradigma de energia fóssil para um novo paradigma de energia renovável, sob a perspectiva da „energy geography‟. Este estudo buscou examinar essa mudança em uma ilha remota, onde esta transição de paradigma de energia está a ocorrer. A Ilha do Pico, localizada na Região Autónoma dos Açores, uma região ultraperiférica da União Europeia, foi selecionada para essa análise. Isso se deve ao fato de que a ilha possui um sistema de energia isolado que não está conectado a nenhuma fonte de energia externa e, portanto, necessita produzir localmente toda a sua energia. Acredita-se que o Pico pode ser um exemplo de como um lugar totalmente dependente da importação de combustíveis fósseis, pode mudar para produzir 100% de sua energia a partir de fontes renováveis. Este trabalho foi organizado em três partes. A primeira, apresenta uma revisão da literatura sobre os tipos de energia e a disciplina da geografia; a segunda, examina as mudanças de paradigma energético em outras duas ilhas da UE; e a terceira, apresenta a análise do estudo de caso realizado na Ilha do Pico através de entrevistas estruturadas e questionários de pesquisa. Tal mudança de paradigma parece ser possível para o Pico, conforme a opinião da grande maioria dos participantes do estudo. Eles acreditam que essa mudança é possível; que ela será positiva para o Pico e sua imagem; e que estão abertos para que isso aconteça. Como, se e quando o Pico alcançará 100% da mudança de paradigma ainda não sabemos. Também não sabemos se a ilha do Pico seguirá ou se adaptará aos modelos usados por outras ilhas, ou se deve desenvolver o seu próprio modelo para fazer essa mudança. Isso é algo que requer um estudo mais aprofundado. Palavras-chave: „energy geography‟; sistemas de energia renovável; paradigma energético; ilhas remotas; energia autossuficiente.

    Annex 2: Additional Copy of Section B “Geological Heritage” of the Application Section B “Geological Heritage” GEOLOGICAL SUMMARY The Azores Archipelago is located in the North Atlantic, on the triple junction between the North American, Eurasian and African-Nubian plates. Volcanic and tectonic activities are well displayed in the geomorphology of the islands; the former includes 26 eruptions since the settlement, in early 15th century. The Azores Islands are formed by 16 major polygenetic volcanoes, most of them silicic and with summit subsidence calderas: nine of them are still active. Moreover, there are about 1750 monogenetic volcanoes in the archipelago, either dispersed along the flanks and inside the summit depression of the polygenetic volcanoes, either belonging to the 11 basaltic fissural volcanic systems located in different islands. These monogenetic centres include domes and coulées, tuff rings, tuff cones, maars, scoria and spatter cones, and eruptive fissures that together with other volcanic, tectonic, sedimentary, littoral and deep sea features may be considered as geosites and can embrace outstanding landscapes. B – Geological Heritage B1. Location of the proposed Geopark The Azores archipelago is located in the Atlantic Ocean, between the latitudes 36º56’ e 39º44’ North and the longitudes 24º47’ and 31º16’ West (Figure 5), and at the distance of 1815 km from the Mainland Portugal. ´ Figure 6 – General geodynamic framework of the Azores archipelago. From a geological point of view, all the Azores islands are of volcanic origin and are oceanic islands that emerged from the surrounding seafloor due to the progressively piled up of submarine volcanic products, a process that should have started about 36 million years (M.y.).
