Data handling methods and target detection results for multibeam and sidescan data collected as part of the search for SwissAir Flight 111 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The crash of SwissAir Flight 111, off Nova Scotia in September 1998, triggered one of the largest seabed search surveys in Canadian history. The primary search tools used were sidescan sonars (both conventional and focussed types) and multibeam sonars ...

Identifying Purse Seine Vessel Operations Through Machine Learning Models for Better Spatial Fishing Effort Estimates

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 712-725, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial fisheries management requires precise, spatial explicit information on species distribution and fishing impacts. In the NW Mediterranean, the distribution of small pelagic fish (SPF) stocks is currently assessed through annual acoustic surveys.

Strategy for Detection and High-Resolution Characterization of Authigenic Carbonate Cold Seep Habitats Using Ships and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles on Glacially Influenced Terrain

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Cold seep habitats with authigenic carbonates and associated chemosynthetic communities in glacially influenced terrains constitute an important part of the benthic ecosystems, but they are difficult to detect in large-scale seabed surveys.

Prospects for Arctic Summertime Sea Ice Prediction Based on Arctic Seasonal Prediction System (ArcSPS)

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract To satisfy the needs of the Arctic sea ice seasonal prediction in summer, we developed the Arctic Seasonal Prediction System (ArcSPS). This system integrates an Arctic sea ice–ocean–atmosphere coupled model with an ensemble‐based Kalman Filter data assimilation model.

Seasonal and Diurnal Patterns of Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Behavior and the Disruptive Effects of Vessel Presence in a High‐Traffic Coastal Habitat

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic anthropogenic activity is an ongoing threat to the marine environment and presents unique challenges in shallow, coastal habitats where harbor porpoises reside. Harbor porpoises have high metabolic needs and are highly susceptible to negative environmental factors; however, no long‐term studies have been conducted on wild populations ...

Unveiling Patterns in Cetacean Strandings Along Southern Atlantic Iberia: Temporal and Spatial Trends, Seasonality, and Causes of Death

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.

A Frequency–Azimuth Spectrum Estimation Method for Uniform Linear Array Based on Deconvolution

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The frequency–azimuth (FRAZ) spectrum is a critical characteristic in passive target detection and tracking, as it encapsulates information regarding the signal’s frequency and azimuth.
