300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Recovering Bathymetry Using BP Neural Network Combined with Modified Gravity–Geologic Method: A Case Study in the South China Sea

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The gravity–geologic method (GGM) is widely used for bathymetric predictions. However, the conventional GGM cannot be applied in regions without actual bathymetric data.

Climatic–Anthropogenic Synergy Drives Escalating Minimum Area Requirements and Connectivity‐Protection Mismatch in a Karst‐Endemic Primate

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Submerged geomorphic record of Quaternary palaeoshorelines: terraces and clinothems along a shelf‐edge in the Žirje Archipelago, Adriatic Sea

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Numerous studies have shown that during the Quaternary there were substantial fluctuations in sea level in response to glacial–interglacial climate variability, reaching lowstand positions up to 134 m below the present sea level (b.s.l.). These fluctuations have had a strong influence on the morphology of shallow shelf seas, which preserve evidence of ...

Comparative Analysis of Wavelet-Based Anisotropy Index Calculation for Bathymetric Data

open access: yesSakarya University Journal of Computer and Information Sciences
This study investigates the relationship between seabed structures and ship manoeuvrability by applying an anisotropic transformation to bathymetric data. The one of the selected study areas is the downstream section of the Mississippi River in Chalmette,

SDUST2023BCO: a global seafloor model determined from a multi-layer perceptron neural network using multi-source differential marine geodetic data [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Science Data
Seafloor topography, as a fundamental marine spatial geographic information, plays a vital role in marine observation and science research. With the growing demand for high-precision bathymetric models, a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network is ...

Bathymetric Mapping Using IKONOS Multispectral Data

open access: yesGIScience & Remote Sensing, 2004
The objective of this research was to develop an accurate bathymetric map for an area around Roatan Island, Honduras using high-resolution multispectral IKONOS data based on a variation of a linear regression model. Linear regression models estimate water depths by regressing brightness values over known benthos (albeit non-homogeneous) and known ...
