Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Atoll islands’ alongshore sediment transport gradients depend on how island and reef morphology affect incident wave energy. It is unclear, though, how potential atoll morphologic configurations influence shoreline erosion and/or accretion patterns, and ...

Current issues relating to artificial reefs in European seas
, 2000 European artificial reef research has now been active for about three decades. For much of that time research has been conducted within national programmes, focussing on national or local issues, and has taken place predominately in the Mediterranean Sea.

Movement of yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus Block 1790) and black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey 1860) in the northern Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary as determined by acoustic telemetry [PDF]
, 2005 We tagged a total of 14 yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus Bloch 1790) and black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey 1860) inside the Conch Reef Research Only Area (a no-take marine reserve) in the northern Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in ...

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Exploring the multispectral acoustic response of reef habitats
Frontiers in Remote SensingIn recent decades, the value and utility of multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data has been increasingly recognized within the field of seascape ecology (the ocean-centric equivalent of landscape ecology) to map the bio- and geodiversity of the ocean ...

Postglacial Fringing-Reef to Barrier-Reef conversion on Tahiti links Darwin's reef types [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 AbstractIn 1842 Charles Darwin claimed that vertical growth on a subsiding foundation caused fringing reefs to transform into barrier reefs then atolls. Yet historically no transition between reef types has been discovered and they are widely considered to develop independently from antecedent foundations during glacio-eustatic sea-level rise.
