Application of Geobia to map the seafloor [PDF]

open access: yesGEOBIA 2016: Solutions and synergies, 2016
Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) has been successfully employed to map terrestrial environments. However, 71% of Earth's surface is covered by seawater and standard optical methods suitable for mapping the land surface have limited application in such environments.

State of the Art in Swath Bathymetry Survey Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
In the last decade, advances in real-time computing and data storage capabilities have led to significant improvements in bathymetric survey systems and the single point echo-sounder has now been replaced by a variety of highresolution swath mapping ...

Identifying the pre‐Odra river system with hydroacoustic and seismic reflection imagery offshore Rügen Island, southern Baltic Sea

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the course and dynamics of ancient river systems, such as the pre‐Odra, provides valuable insights into the post‐glacial evolution of landscapes and riverine processes. The northwest‐trending pre‐Odra was an important drainage system of the European mainland into the Baltic Basin during and after the Scandinavian Ice Sheet retreat ...

From the Arctic to the Tropics: The U.S. UNCLOS Bathymetric Mapping Program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Since CHC2006, the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Coastal & Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center has mapped with multibeam, the bathymetry of an additional ~220,000 km2 of seafloor in areas as diverse as the Arctic, the Northern Marianas of ...

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Geohazard features of the Central-Southern Tyrrhenian seamounts

open access: yesJournal of Maps
The Magic project (MArine Geohazard along Italian Coasts), a large coordinated initiative that involved the whole marine geological research community in Italy in 2007–2013, produced a series of maps of the Geohazard features of the Central-Southern ...

Deep Dark Futures: Foresighting Human Impacts on Mesopelagic Ecosystem Services

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
This study uses foresighting to explore four plausible future scenarios of human activity affecting mesopelagic ecosystem services; provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural. Using participatory scenario development, qualitative network modelling and indicator design, we assess systemic risks and early warning signals linked to harvest, climate

Geohazard features of the western Sardinia

open access: yesJournal of Maps
The Maps of Geohazard features of the Western Sardinia produced by the Magic project (MArine Geohazard along Italian Coasts) were presented. The maps were created using morphobathymetric data obtained by surveying with a multi-beam echo sounder. The main
