Benthic habitat mapping in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary: Classification of side scan sonar data from survey HMPR-108-2002-01: Version I [PDF]

, 2006
In September 2002, side scan sonar was used to image a portion of the sea floor in the northern OCNMS and was mosaiced at 1-meter pixel resolution using 100 kHz data collected at 300-meter range scale.

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Evaluating the Risk of Collision of Seals Swimming Within Metres of Operating Tidal Turbines

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT We used imaging sonar to continuously monitor wildlife at an operational tidal turbine in the Pentland Firth, Scotland, between May 2022 and June 2023. Of 704 detected seal tracks, 347 occurred during turbine operation and 122 of these were detected directly upstream of the rotating blades in the horizontal plane.

D4SC: Deep Supervised Semantic Segmentation for Seabed Characterization and Uncertainty Estimation for Large Scale Mapping

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Seabed characterization consists in the study of the physical and biological properties of the of ocean floors. Sonar is commonly employed to capture the acoustic backscatter reflected from the seabed.

Functionally Rich Fish Assemblages Support Greater Rates of Multiple Ecological Functions in Seagrass Meadows

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We show that the functional diversity of fishes promotes multifunctionality in seagrass meadows. We found that there was consistency in the seascape context and connectivity variables that structured the rate and distribution of different components of functioning and the functional diversity of fish in seagrass meadows.

Tsunami Casualty Risk Assessment Integrating Evacuation Tower Placement, Seismic Road Network Performance Enhancement, and Disaster Education

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 500-520, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 682-700, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...
