Automatic Hierarchical Classification of Kelps using Deep Residual Features [PDF]
Across the globe, remote image data is rapidly being collected for the assessment of benthic communities from shallow to extremely deep waters on continental slopes to the abyssal seas. Exploiting this data is presently limited by the time it takes for experts to identify organisms found in these images. With this limitation in mind, a large effort has

The control of hydrogen sulfide on benthic iron and cadmium fluxes in the oxygen minimum zone off Peru [PDF]
Sediments in oxygen-depleted marine environments can be an important sink or source of bio-essential trace metals in the ocean. However, the key mechanisms controlling the release from or burial of trace metals in sediments are not exactly understood ...

First Description of Invertebrate Benthic Fauna in the Middle Zone of the Loa River (Chile)
Aquatic insect communities in inland waters of Chile are characterised by the presence of certain species depending on water quality, but there is little information on statistical ecology in the structure of insect communities. The aim of the present study was to apply null models to explain the structure of aquatic insects in the middle zone of the ...

Transport of benthic diatoms across the continental shelf off southern Baja California Peninsula
Material collected with a time-series sediment trap moored in San Lázaro Basin, near the NE Pacific upwelling zone off Bahía Magdalena, Baja California Sur (Mexico), from August to November 1996 and December 1997 to June 1998, revealed temporal changes ...

Glacier retreat is a major long-standing global issue; however, the ecological impacts of such retreats on marine organisms remain unanswered. Here, we examined changes to the polar benthic community structure of “diatoms” under current global warming in

Future Arctic Ocean Seasonal Ice Zones and Implications for Pelagic-Benthic Coupling [PDF]
Despite concerns about rapid changes in Arctic Ocean physical forcing and ecosystem function, quantitative knowledge and time series are scarce. The number of reliable physical-biological coupled models and models based on remote sensing is small. To improve our comprehension of carbon flux in the most prominent Arctic Ocean feature, the seasonal ice ...

Benthic Species Distribution Linked to Morphological Features of a Barred Coast
The composition of benthic species communities in the nearshore zone is closely related to the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic conditions. Sustainable management of the coastal ecosystem requires knowledge about the natural dynamics as well as human ...

Towards Adaptive Benthic Habitat Mapping [PDF]
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly being used to support scientific research and monitoring studies. One such application is in benthic habitat mapping where these vehicles collect seafloor imagery that complements broadscale bathymetric data collected using sonar.

Ecology of foraminifera during the middle Eocene climatic optimum in Kutch, India
The shallow marine carbonates of Kutch temporally correspond to the globally recognised warming period called Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) that extended from later part of planktic foraminiferal zone E11 to E12 and Shallow Benthic Zone (SBZ) 17.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill occurred in spring and summer 2010 in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Research cruises in 2010 (approximately 2-3 months after the well had been capped), 2011, and 2014 were conducted to determine the initial and subsequent ...
