Applying a Multi-Method Framework to Analyze the Multispectral Acoustic Response of the Seafloor

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022
Improvements to acoustic seafloor mapping systems have motivated novel marine geological and benthic biological research. Multibeam echosounders (MBES) have become a mainstream tool for acoustic remote sensing of the seabed.

Assessing the use of harmonized multisource backscatter data for thematic benthic habitat mapping

open access: yesScience of Remote Sensing, 2021
Legacy seabed mapping datasets are increasingly common as the need for detailed seabed information is recognized. Acoustic backscatter data from multibeam echosounders can be a useful surrogate for seabed properties and are commonly used for benthic ...

Analysis of the Spatio-Temporal Evolution of Dredging from Satellite Images: A Case Study in the Principality of Asturias (Spain)

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
One of the fundamental tasks in the maintenance of port operations is periodic dredging. These dredging operations facilitate the elimination of sediments that the coastal dynamics introduce.

Acoustic estimates of methane gas flux from the seabed in a 6000 km2 region in the Northern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Seeps of free methane gas escaping the seabed can be found throughout the ocean basins. To understand the role of methane gas seeps in the global carbon cycle—including both gas added to the atmosphere and that which is dissolved and potentially oxidized

Coralligenous banks along the western and northern continental shelf of Sardinia Island (Mediterranean Sea)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2022
Mapping of coralligenous banks was carried out along the continental shelf of the northern and western margin of Sardinia Island (Italy, western Mediterranean Sea) in the context of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC ...
