XBTs Provide First‐Order Characterization of Seabed Physical Properties
Earth and Space ScienceExpendable Bathythermographs (XBTs) are oceanographic instruments that fall through the ocean's water column and measure ocean temperature with depth. In many instances, however, XBTs continue to record temperature after they impact the seabed.

Assessing the effectiveness of Sri Lankan marine protected areas: Challenges and recommendations
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We evaluated the biodiversity conservation effectiveness of 32 zones of Sri Lankan marine protected areas (MPA) and found that most are currently insufficiently protected. Threats to MPAs were not uniform, with harmful dredging/dumping, anchoring, fishing, and non‐extractive activities identified as major pressures affecting different sets of MPAs.

High Strength Steel Fatigue Crack Growth Database for Offshore Renewable Energy Applications
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High strength steels can reduce costs and carbon emissions in offshore renewable energy, but their effect on structural integrity remains unclear. In welded structures, such as support structures for offshore wind and tidal turbines, fatigue life is dominated by crack growth from flaws at weld toes.

A Novel Visual Classification Method of Seabed Sediments
, 2014 This study aims at the autonomous seafloor surveillance by underwater vehicles based on computer vision techniques. A novel scheme of seabed image classification is proposed to identify three types of seabed sediments.

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Kattegat Sea acts as a nursery area for several fishes, exhibiting complex ichthyoplankton dynamics influenced by environmental factors and species‐specific traits. We investigated factors influencing spatiotemporal variability in yolk‐sac larvae presence and areal density for three economically and ecologically important fishes: sandeel ...

Ibis, EarlyView.While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...
