Sounding Out the Carbon: The Potential of Acoustic Backscatter Data to Yield Improved Spatial Predictions of Organic Carbon in Marine Sediments

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Marine sediments hold vast stores of organic carbon (OC). Techniques to spatially map sedimentary OC must develop to form the basis of seabed management tools that consider carbon-rich sediments.

A validated 3D point‐cloud analysis workflow for the creation of seagrass canopy height models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Seagrasses support highly productive ecosystems in both temperate and tropical waters and provide essential ecosystem services. Despite their importance, the vertical structure of seagrasses (i.e. the canopy) remains poorly characterised at the microscale, even though it is a strong predictor of ecological processes that influence both ...

Giant pockmarks discovered on the West Greenland shelf

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research
Pockmarks provide valuable insights into subsurface fluid dynamics, methane release, and potential geohazards. We present the first detailed mapping and characterization of giant pockmarks (>250 m diameter) on the West Greenland continental shelf using ...

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 ...

The magic project: genesis, implementation, and results

open access: yesJournal of Maps
The Magic Project was conceived following a submarine-generated tsunami at Stromboli in 2002. Recognizing the lack of knowledge on submarine geohazards, the Italian Civil Protection Department launched the project in 2007, aiming to map marine geohazards

The use of singlebeam echo‐sounder depth data to produce demersal fish distribution models that are comparable to models produced using multibeam echo‐sounder depth

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Seafloor characteristics can help in the prediction of fish distribution, which is required for fisheries and conservation management. Despite this, only 5%–10% of the world's seafloor has been mapped at high resolution, as it is a time‐consuming and ...

Performing a Sonar Acceptance Test of the Kongsberg EM712 Using Open-Source Software: A Case Study of Kluster

open access: yesGeomatics, 2022
In the world of seafloor mapping, the ability to explore and experiment with a dataset in its raw and processed forms is critical. Kluster is an open-source multibeam data processing software package written in Python that enables this exploration ...

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 ...
