ASSESSMENT OF MULTIBEAM BACKSCATTER TEXTURE ANALYSIS FOR SEAFLOOR SEDIMENT CLASSIFICATION [PDF]
Recently, there have been many debates to analyse backscatter data from multibeam echosounder system (MBES) for seafloor classifications. Among them, two common methods have been used lately for seafloor classification; (1) signal-based classification ...

MBES Seabed Sediment Classification Based on a Decision Fusion Method Using Deep Learning Model
High-precision habitat mapping can contribute to the identification and quantification of the human footprint on the seafloor. As a representative of seafloor habitats, seabed sediment classification is crucial for marine geological research, marine ...

In this paper, object-based image analysis classification methods are developed that do not rely on backscatter in order to classify the seafloor. Instead, these methods make use of bathymetry, bathymetric derivatives, and grab samples for classification.

Marine Anoxia and Ocean Acidification During the EndāPermian Extinction
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Extractive activities in the ocean are expanding into the vast, poorly studied deep sea, with the consequence that environmental management decisions must be made for data-poor seafloor regions.
