Observation of Statistical Characteristics and Vertical Structures of Surface Warm Cyclonic Eddies and Cold Anticyclonic Eddies in the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent Region

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Conventional wisdom about mesoscale eddies is that cyclonic (anticyclonic) eddies are commonly associated with cold(warm) surface cores. Nevertheless, plenties of surface warm cyclonic eddies (WCEs) and cold anticyclonic eddies (CAEs) in the North ...

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

A Crossover Adjustment Method Considering the Beam Incident Angle for a Multibeam Bathymetric Survey Based on USV Swarms

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Multibeam echosounder systems (MBESs) are widely used in unmanned surface vehicle swarms (USVs) to perform various marine bathymetry surveys because of their excellent performance. To address the challenges of systematic error superposition and edge beam

Site conditions and forest stand dynamics impact bottomland hardwood afforestation on wetland reserve easements

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The Wetlands Reserve Easement (WRE) program accounts for the majority of private land afforestation in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV), but consistent ecological monitoring is not often feasible after restoration activities are complete.

Method for Delineating the Formula Limit of the Continental Shelf under the Maximum Area Principle Constraint

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In current practices of determining continental shelf area, the measured sediment thickness data do not effectively reflect the distribution of sediments across the area due to its dispersed nature.

Artifex Ars Cartographica: Collaboration Between Portuguese Painters and Cartographers in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there was no statutory difference between cartography, drawing and painting. These activities were performed then by craftsmen who were part of a vast group under the umbrella of ‘mechanical arts’ and fell under the ‘artifex’ category. Artifex were experts in any particular art, whether a craftsman,

A High-Precision Method for Evaluating the Similarity of Maritime Vessel Trajectories

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
This study investigates the demand for high-precision trajectory similarity assessment in intelligent maritime navigation. This is done by analyzing discrepancies between GPS-derived trajectories and actual vessel paths, while identifying critical ...

Making Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Work for Multiple Users: Improving the Design of FIM for Decision Support

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Visualizing and communicating flood inundation depth and extent can be valuable for informing decisions related to flood preparedness and disaster response. In the United States, several different types of flood inundation mapping (FIM) exist and a new National Water Model (NWM) FIM product is being rolled out across the country (expected to ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1704-1734, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

A Self-Adaptive Compression Method for Ship Trajectories without Threshold Setting

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Addressing the shortcomings of existing ship trajectory compression methods that rely on the empirical setting of a fixed threshold and face challenges in controlling the spatial similarity before and after compression, this paper proposes a self ...
