Habitat heterogeneity over multiple scales supports dense and diverse megafaunal communities on a northeast Pacific ridge

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 377-392, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Marine environments are highly heterogeneous, varying across scales of a few meters to entire ocean basins. Understanding the relationship between environmental variability and species distribution is essential for area‐based management and conservation.

Innovative and Cost‐Effective Approaches to the Measurement of Sediment Levels in Small Water Reservoirs

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 28-38, 15 January 2025.
ABSTRACT Sedimentation in small water reservoirs poses a critical challenge with significant environmental, economic, and social implications. To address this issue, this study will employ three measurement techniques—GNSS RTK Trimble R8s, Echolot HDS LIVE 7 with Active Imaging 3‐in‐1, and the Mivardi Carp Scout bait boat—to assess sediment levels in ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Review: Marine Seismic And Side-Scan Sonar Investigations For Seabed Identification With Sonar System

open access: yesJGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology, 2017
Marine seismic reflection data have been collected for decades and since the mid-to late- 1980s much of this data is positioned relatively accurately.

Geometric and Radiometric Correction of Multibeam Backscatter Derived from Reson 8101 Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A common by-product of multibeam surveys is a measure of the backscattered acoustic intensity from the seafloor. These data are of immense interest to geologists and geoscientists since maps of the acoustic backscatter strength can be used to infer ...

Fault and magmatic interaction within Iceland's western rift over the last 9kyr [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We present high-resolution 'Chirp' sub-bottom profiler data from Thingvallavatn, a lake in Iceland's western rift zone. These data are combined with stratigraphic constraints from sediment cores to show that movement on normal faults since 9 ka are ...

Latent Space Metric Learning For Sidescan Sonar Place Recognition

open access: yesIEEE/OES Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, 2020
Place recognition is an essential part of a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, SLAM, framework. By recognizing that the AUV has returned to a previously visited place, constraints on the trajectory can be imposed leading to a reduction in navigation ...

Post‐Fire Sediment Yield From a Western Sierra Nevada Watershed Burned by the 2021 Caldor Fire

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Watershed sediment yield commonly increases after wildfire, often causing negative impacts to downstream infrastructure and water resources. Post‐fire erosion is important to understand and quantify because it is increasingly placing water supplies, habitat, communities, and infrastructure at risk as fire regimes intensify in a warming climate.

Concurrent mapping and localization using sidescan sonar [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, 2004
This paper describes and evaluates a concurrent mapping and localization (CML) algorithm suitable for localizing an autonomous underwater vehicle. The proposed CML algorithm uses a sidescan sonar to sense the environment. The returns from the sonar are used to detect landmarks in the vehicle's vicinity.
