Facilitating macrosystem biology with organismal‐scale airborne remote sensing: Challenges and opportunities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Emergent ecosystem properties, such as population and trait distributions, biodiversity and energy and water fluxes, occur because of the dynamic interactions of individuals in their environment.

Identifying Purse Seine Vessel Operations Through Machine Learning Models for Better Spatial Fishing Effort Estimates

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial fisheries management requires precise, spatial explicit information on species distribution and fishing impacts. In the NW Mediterranean, the distribution of small pelagic fish (SPF) stocks is currently assessed through annual acoustic surveys.

Local Angler Knowledge Reveals Declines in Fishing Quality for Black Bass in Lakes of Eastern Ontario

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local ecological knowledge can be useful to assess data‐limited fisheries such as the Ontario Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) recreational fishery. We surveyed local anglers using the Life History Calendar approach to determine if there were perceived changes in fishing quality for Black Bass in eastern Ontario across different time periods. For

A Novel DOA Estimation Method for a Far-Field Narrow-Band Point Source via the Conventional Beamformer

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Far-field narrow-band Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation is a practical challenge in passive and active sonar applications. While the Conventional Beamformer (CBF) is a robust Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), its precision is inherently constrained

Development of a fusion adaptive algorithm for marine debris detection within the post-Sandy restoration framework [PDF]

, 2014
Recognition of marine debris represent a difficult task due to the extreme variability of the marine environment, the possible targets, and the variable skill levels of human operators.

Online algorithms for POMDPs with continuous state, action, and observation spaces

, 2018
Online solvers for partially observable Markov decision processes have been applied to problems with large discrete state spaces, but continuous state, action, and observation spaces remain a challenge.

Variations in downslope activity and bottom current dynamics in a land‐detached submarine channel system since the Last Glacial Maximum

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Gollum Channel System is a land‐detached large‐scale canyon‐channel system situated offshore southwest Ireland on the Northeast Atlantic margin. The system has been considered inactive with downslope gravity flows since the last glacial period, but geophysical data in some of its branches do suggest Holocene activity.

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...
