Toward Enhanced Safety Management in Wave Energy Power Plant Construction Projects: FMEA and HAZOP Combination

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Consolidated FMEA–HAZOP safety management framework for WEC construction projects. ABSTRACT This study presents an advanced safety management framework for “Wave Energy Converter” (WEC) projects, addressing the inherent uncertainty, technological complexity, and environmental exposure of offshore renewable energy systems.

A Measurement Quality Factor for Swath Bathymetry Sounders

open access: yes, 2010
The quality estimation associated with individual soundings measured and computed by swath bathymetry sonars is a paramount issue which is most often imperfectly addressed today by sonar manufacturers.

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.

Least-Squares-Based Deep Learning for Sentinel-2 Derived Bathymetry: A Case Study on Anegada’s Southern Coast [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) provides a cost-effective solution for coastal mapping, but challenges remain in model interpretability and uncertainty quantification. This study investigates the applicability of the least-squares-based deep learning (

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 ...

Model-based 3D micro-navigation and bathymetry estimation for interferometric synthetic aperture sonar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Sub-wavelength navigation information is vital for the formation of all synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) data products. This challenging requirement can be achieved using the redundant phase centre (RPC) or displaced phase centre antenna (DPCA) micro ...

Estimating Nearshore Morphological Change through Ensemble Optimal Interpolation with Altimetric Data

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Nearshore bathymetry changes on scales of hours to months in ways that strongly impact coastal processes. However, even at the best-monitored sites, surveys are typically not conducted with sufficient frequency to capture important changes such as ...

Mapping South Baltic Near-Shore Bathymetry Using Sentinel-2 Observations

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research, 2017
One of the most promising new applications of remote observation satellite systems (RO) is the near-shore bathymetry estimation based on spaceborn multispectral imageries.

Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.
