Automated underwater image analysis reveals sediment patterns and megafauna distribution in the tropical Atlantic [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The deep-sea comprises diverse habitats and species whose characterisation provides crucial insights into the health and resilience of our oceans. Whereas direct sampling enables investigation of the vertical variability of the seafloor at small spatial ...

Acoustic Seafloor Classification Using the Weyl Transform of Multibeam Echosounder Backscatter Mosaic

Remote Sensing, 2021
The use of multibeam echosounder systems (MBES) for detailed seafloor mapping is increasing at a fast pace. Due to their design, enabling continuous high-density measurements and the coregistration of seafloor’s depth and reflectivity, MBES has become a ...

Seafloor and Ocean Crust Structure of the Kerguelen Plateau from Marine Geophysical and Satellite Altimetry Datasets

Geomatics, 2023
The volcanic Kerguelen Islands are formed on one of the world’s largest submarine plateaus. Located in the remote segment of the southern Indian Ocean close to Antarctica, the Kerguelen Plateau is notable for a complex tectonic origin and geologic ...

Multispectral multibeam backscatter response of heterogeneous rhodolith beds

Scientific Reports, 2023
Acoustic backscatter has been used as a tool to map the seafloor in greater detail and plays an increasingly important role in seafloor mapping to meet multiple ocean management needs.

Implementation of an automated workflow for image-based seafloor classification with examples from manganese-nodule covered seabed areas in the Central Pacific Ocean

Scientific Reports, 2022
Mapping and monitoring of seafloor habitats are key tasks for fully understanding ocean ecosystems and resilience, which contributes towards sustainable use of ocean resources. Habitat mapping relies on seafloor classification typically based on acoustic

Improved predictive modelling of coralligenous formations in the Greek Seas incorporating large-scale, presence–absence, hydroacoustic data and oceanographic variables

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Our understanding of the distribution of coralligenous formations, throughout but mostly on the Eastern Mediterranean seafloor, is still poor and mostly relies on presence-only opportunistic trawling and fishermen reports. Previous efforts to gather this

Seafloor earthquake ruptures and mass wasting from the 2004 Mw 6.3 Les Saintes submarine earthquake

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
The seismic hazard posed by submarine faults and the capacity of submarine earthquakes to trigger mass wasting are poorly understood because we lack detailed characterizations of coseismic ruptures at the seafloor.
