Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

Implications of climate change for coastal and inter-tidal habitats in the UK [PDF]
, 2013 Coastal habitats are diverse and vary in the extent to which they are shaped by physiographic processes, such as wave action, wind, tides and sediment availability, and the relative influence of terrestrial and marine environments, e.g.

Thermodynamic and microphysical properties of summertime marine fog observed from Sable Island
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Atmospheric profiling and near‐surface fog and visibility measurements revealed synoptic‐scale forcing as the dominant factor in fog formation over Sable Island, with deep fog layers under low‐pressure systems and shallow fog layers under high‐pressure systems.

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

Coastal sand dunes of southeast Sri Lanka
Journal of the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka, 1990 Sand dunes are the most common landforms of the Sri .Lankan coasts even though little attention has been paid to them in the field of geomorphological studies in the island. In the first part of this study.the large-scale factors governing the sand dune formation are analysed, as an introduction to the aeolian environment of thc SE coast. In the second

Evaluating methods for high‐resolution, national‐scale seagrass mapping in Google Earth Engine
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Marine habitat mapping using satellite imagery can provide baseline and monitoring data across large spatial scales and in remote locations globally. This study evaluates how key methodological choices influence the accuracy of open‐source (for non‐commercial use), cloud‐based satellite mapping workflows for seagrass meadows in the Maldives.
