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 ...

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...

A continental shelf scale examination of the Leeuwin Current off Western Australia during the austral autumn–winter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A continental shelf scale survey from 22°S to 34°S along the Western Australia coast provides the first detailed synoptic examination of the structure, circulation and modification of the southward flowing Leeuwin Current (LC) during the late austral ...

Effects of climate change on marine biodiversity on the western Atlantic coast

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The current climate crisis, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, threatens global biodiversity, including that in marine ecosystems. However, projections for the western Atlantic Ocean that jointly quantify species richness and endemism while accounting for spatially biased and incomplete occurrence data remain limited.

Phytoplankton biomass and primary production responses to physico-chemical forcing across the northeastern New Zealand continental shelf

open access: yes, 2011
Phytoplankton biomass and primary production were monitored in the Hauraki Gulf and on the northeastern continental shelf, New Zealand – using ship surveys, moored instruments and satellite observations (1998–2001) – capturing variability across a range ...

A Modified Gear Removal Index (GRI) Method to Support the Management of Abandoned Fishing Gear on Coralligenous Reefs

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abandoned, Lost or otherwise Discarded Fishing Gears (ALDFG) have significant negative effects on marine ecosystems. In the Mediterranean Sea, the impact of ALDFG is particularly relevant on coralligenous reefs. The management of ALDFG focuses primarily on their removal, however this type of intervention may potentially damage the habitat, so ...

A simplified semi-empirical model for multifrequency seafloor backscattering angular response (ESAB)

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing
A new approach to seafloor acoustic backscatter prediction and inversion is presented here and applied to an experimental dataset. Based on a frequency-dependent semi-empirical geometrical-physical description, the Extended Seabed Acoustic Backscatter ...

Nearshore and inner shelf sedimentation on the east Coromandel coast, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The east Coromandel coastline on the northeast coast of New Zealand has been characterised by localised erosion problems since its commercial subdivision.

Mesoscale Oceanographic Processes Drive the Seasonal Abundance of the Seabob Shrimp Xiphopenaeus spp. on the Eastern Brazilian Shelf

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seabob shrimp (Xiphopenaeus spp.) is a primary fishery resource in Brazil, with considerable economic and social importance along the coast. While environmental drivers of its life cycle are well‐documented for southeastern and southern populations, the factors modulating populations in the Eastern Brazilian Shelf remain poorly understood,
