Importance of Hydrography in Resource Exploration [PDF]

, 2015
Ever since man first ventured into the sea environment, hydrography has played a vital role in promoting marine scientific activities. This paper specifically deals with the importance of hydrography in resource exploration, highlighting the ...

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions

Boreas, 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 ...

Hydrography‐Driven Coarsening of Grid Digital Elevation Models [PDF]

, 2017
A new grid coarsening strategy, denoted as hydrography-driven coarsening, is developed in the present study. The hydrography-driven coarsening is designed to retain the essential hydrographic features of valleys and channels observed in high-resolution ...

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

Seasonality of the Physical and Biogeochemical Hydrography in the Inflow to the Arctic Ocean Through Fram Strait

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Eastern Fram Strait and the shelf slope region north of Svalbard is dominated by the advection of warm, salty and nutrient-rich Atlantic Water (AW). This oceanic heat contributes to keeping the area relatively free of ice.

Identifying the Drivers of Newfoundland Capelin Recruitment After a Breakdown in the Environment–Recruitment Relationship

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environment‐recruitment relationships often break down over time. This can occur because of spurious results from testing numerous environmental variables in the original analyses or from relative changes in the importance of specific environmental drivers over time.

The relationship between zooplankton distribution and hydrography in oceanic waters of the Southern Gulf of Mexico

Journal of Marine Systems, 2019
Zooplankton was sampled in the Southern Gulf of Mexico, during autumn 2010, summer 2011 and winter 2013. Hydrographic data, dynamic topography and geostrophic velocities showed the presence of alternating cyclonic and anticyclonic gyres in the area, and ...

Identifying thermally tolerant bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) source populations for restoration under climate change

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the world due to climate change and other stressors. Restoration is one solution to return kelp forests to places where they have been lost, yet continually warming oceans may necessitate the identification of thermally tolerant strains to facilitate the long‐term success of kelp restoration.

An Automatic Generalization Method of a Block-Based Digital Depth Model Based on Surface Curvature Features

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Addressing the limitations of current multi-scale seabed terrain construction methods for a Digital Depth Model (DDM) and the low computational efficiency of automatic generalization algorithms, this paper draws on the concept of curvature simplification
