Tidal ecosystems like the Wadden Sea are particularly valuable for their ecological and economic importance. Here, the natural dynamics of the abiotic and biotic processes is threatened by the human pressure, and great efforts are made on mapping and ...

Data handling methods and target detection results for multibeam and sidescan data collected as part of the search for SwissAir Flight 111 [PDF]
The crash of SwissAir Flight 111, off Nova Scotia in September 1998, triggered one of the largest seabed search surveys in Canadian history. The primary search tools used were sidescan sonars (both conventional and focussed types) and multibeam sonars ...

Depositional evolution of the upper Miocene complex. ABSTRACT To achieve net‐zero carbon emissions by 2050, gigatonnes of CO2 must be captured and stored in the subsurface. Screening and exploration of prospective storage sites have thus gained momentum in recent years.

An Autonomous Surface Vehicle for Long Term Operations
Environmental monitoring of marine environments presents several challenges: the harshness of the environment, the often remote location, and most importantly, the vast area it covers.

Abstract The Zabargad Fracture Zone (ZFZ), the largest rift‐axis offset in the Red Sea, extends from 23.5°N to 26°N. It is covered by thick sedimentary layers that have hindered the ability of geophysical data sets to image the geometry of the normal faults and any potential transform faults.

Deconvolution of chirp sidescan sonar data
The first return of a sidescan sonar chirp contains information about the bottom and immediate subbottom character and roughness. Measured real data from a chirp sidescan sonar are basebanded, producing complex signals. These signals are deconvolved using an ideal transmitted source signal, a measured source signal, and, for cross-correlated data, the ...

Sidescan Sonar Image Enchancement Using a Decomposition Based on Orthogonal Functions. Applications with Chebyshev Polynomials [PDF]
A method is presented to remove from sidescan sonar images of the seafloor, artifacts that are clearly unrelated to the backscattering properties of the seafloor.
