Tributary‐scale oyster reef restoration in Harris Creek, Maryland: lessons from a decade of planning, implementing, and monitoring

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In response to the decline of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations in Chesapeake Bay, a large‐scale restoration initiative was launched in Harris Creek, Maryland, in 2011. This effort marked a shift from fragmented projects toward a coordinated, sanctuary‐based approach to oyster restoration.

Shallow water depth (≤5 m) estimation based on single-beam echo sounder and optical satellites

open access: yesGeocarto International
This study combined single-beam echo sounder data with PlanetScope multispectral data to invert shallow water depth (≤5 m) around Weizhou Island, analyzing how each band's reflectance varies with depth by establishing their quantitative relationship and ...

Method for shaping and aiming narrow beams [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
A sonar method and apparatus is discribed which utilizes a linear frequency chirp in a transmitter/receiver having a correlator to synthesize a narrow beamwidth pattern from otherwise broadbeam transducers when there is relative velocity between the ...

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

The Seismic Expression of Core Complex‐Style Extensional Detachment Faults in Rifted Margins

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The identification of core complex‐style extensional detachment faults (CCDFs) in rifted margins is crucial for accurately restoring their stratigraphic and thermal histories. Yet recognising CCDFs in seismic reflection images is challenging due to their faint topographic expression; the lack of associated abrupt offset in seismic reflections;

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

High Stability of Diketopyrrolopyrrole Polymer Transistors Under Aqueous Condition Toward Biosensing Platform

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.
We are reporting the first‐time investigation of DPP‐based Organic Field‐Effect Transistor (OFET) devices with high‐stability of signal response in both of ambient and aqueous conditions with PBS solution. ABSTRACT Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)–based conjugated polymers show strong promise for electronic applications, including bioelectronic gas sensors ...

Sonar-Based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Using the Semi-Direct Method

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The SLAM problem is a common challenge faced by ROVs working underwater, with the key issue being the accurate estimation of pose. In this work, we make full use of the positional information of point clouds and the surrounding pixel data.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1332-1362, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a
