Harmonizing Multi-Source Sonar Backscatter Datasets for Seabed Mapping Using Bulk Shift Approaches
Remote Sensing, 2020 The development of multibeam echosounders (MBES) as a seabed mapping tool has resulted in the widespread uptake of backscatter intensity as an indicator of seabed substrate properties.

Ecosphere, 2016 Detailed habitat maps are critical for conservation planning, yet for many coastal habitats only coarse‐resolution maps are available. As the logistic and technological constraints of habitat mapping become increasingly tractable, habitat map comparisons

Modelling habitats in karst landscape by integrating remote sensing and topography data
Open Geosciences, 2018 Field mapping is an accurate but also time consuming method of detailed mapping of habitat types. Levels of habitat types are usually hierarchically nested at several levels.

Fully convolutional neural networks applied to large-scale marine morphology mapping
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 In this study we applied for the first time Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCNNs) to a marine bathymetric dataset to derive morphological classes over the entire Irish continental shelf.

Translating habitat class to land cover to map area of habitat of terrestrial vertebrates [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2021 Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) is defined as the “habitat available to a species, that is, habitat within its range” and is calculated by subtracting areas of unsuitable land cover and elevation from the range. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Habitats Classification Scheme provides information on species ...

A seafloor habitat map for the Australian continental shelf [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2019 AbstractHere we outline the genesis of Seamap Australia, which integrates spatial data of the seabed of Australia’s continental shelf (0–200 m depth) from multiple sources to provide a single national map layer of marine habitat. It is underpinned by a hierarchical classification scheme with registered vocabulary, enabling presentation of nationally ...

Mapping the habitat suitability of Ottelia species in Africa
Plant Diversity, 2022 Understanding the influence of environmental covariates on plant distribution is critical, especially for aquatic plant species. Climate change is likely to alter the distribution of aquatic species. However, knowledge of this change on the burden of aquatic macroorganisms is often fraught with difficulty.
