Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Evaluation of Catch Performance and Environmental Impact of Technical Gear Modifications for a More Sustainable Scallop Dredging Fishery

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Catch and environmental performance of modified scallop dredge designs were assessed. Skid belly bags increased scallop catch by 14%–19% and reduced gear wear. N‐Virodredge reduced catch of scallop juveniles and sorting time. Gear footprint on the seabed was reduced by 50% for skid belly bags. N‐Virodredge cut fuel use by 30%, reducing carbon emissions

Variations in downslope activity and bottom current dynamics in a land‐detached submarine channel system since the Last Glacial Maximum

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 620-644, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Gollum Channel System is a land‐detached large‐scale canyon‐channel system situated offshore southwest Ireland on the Northeast Atlantic margin. The system has been considered inactive with downslope gravity flows since the last glacial period, but geophysical data in some of its branches do suggest Holocene activity.

Navigating the Ethereal Tightrope: The Nanogenerator Manipulates Neurons for Immune Equilibrium

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
This review explores how nanogenerators modulate neuroimmune responses, offering innovative strategies for treating neurological disorders. By interfacing with neural pathways, they enable precise control of immune activity, especially via vagus nerve stimulation.

A Mapping Method Fusing Forward-Looking Sonar and Side-Scan Sonar

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In modern ocean exploration, forward-looking sonar (FLS) provides real-time 2D imaging of the seabed ahead, but its detection range is relatively limited.

PING‐Mapper: Open‐Source Software for Automated Benthic Imaging and Mapping Using Recreation‐Grade Sonar

Earth and Space Science, 2022
The characterization of benthic habitats is essential for aquatic ecosystem science and management, but is frequently limited by waterbody visibility and depth. Recreation‐grade side‐scan sonar systems are increasingly used to aid scientific inquiries in

Side-Scan Sonar Applications for Evaluating Coastal Structures [PDF]

, 1988
Applications of side-scan sonar for inspecting coastal structures were evaluated. Results were based on 6 years of structure inspections, including structures on the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf, and Great Lakes coasts of the United States. Most of the structures inspected were jetties and breakwaters; however, applications for vertical wall structures and ...

Holocene subaqueous landslide dynamics in the Lake Siljan‐Orsasjön Basin, south‐central Sweden

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Subaqueous landslide areas studied by multibeam bathymetry, sub‐bottom profiling and sediment coring reveal complex stratigraphies, suggesting mass movement events starting close to the area's deglaciation and up to very recent times. Abstract The Siljan‐Orsasjön Basin in south‐central Sweden hosts two prominent lakes.

Prioritized Real‐Time UAV‐Based Vessel Detection for Efficient Maritime Search

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 561-577, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Real‐time vessel detection in maritime environments is crucial for diverse applications requiring speed and accuracy. Static camera views often introduce blind spots, compromising detection efficiency. This paper proposes a novel, real‐time UAV‐based system that uses a dynamic camera control strategy to address this limitation.
