Mapping with confidence; delineating seagrass habitats using Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS).
(2019)
There is growing interest in the use of Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) for mapping and monitoring of seagrass habitats. UAS provide flexibility with timing of imagery capture, are relatively inexpensive, and obtain very ...
Reconstructing Global Chlorophyll-a Variations Using a Non-linear Statistical Approach.
(2020)
Monitoring the spatio-temporal variations of surface chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl, a
proxy of phytoplankton biomass) greatly benefited from the availability of continuous and
global ocean color satellite measurements ...
Monitoring protocol for coastal reefs. Version 1.0.
(The Long-term Ecological Research Program Coastal Habitats of Espírito Santo (LTER HCES), Vitória, Brazil, 2020)
The aim of this protocol is to elucidate the methodology and rationale applied in the Long-Term Research Program for Coastal Habitats in Espírito Santo to monitor marine biodiversity in coastal reefs of the Eastern Brazil ...
Next-Generation Optical Sensing Technologies for Exploring Ocean Worlds—NASA FluidCam, MiDAR, and NeMO-Net.
(2019)
We highlight three emerging NASA optical technologies that enhance our ability
to remotely sense, analyze, and explore ocean worlds–FluidCam and fluid lensing,
MiDAR, and NeMO-Net. Fluid lensing is the first remote sensing ...
Coastal Harmful Algae Bloom Monitoring via a Sustainable, Sail-Powered Mobile Platform.
(2019)
Harmful algae blooms (HABs) in coastal marine environments are increasing in
number and duration, pressuring local resource managers to implement mitigation
solutions to protect human and ecosystem health. However, ...
Australia’s Long-Term Plankton Observations: The Integrated Marine Observing System National Reference Station Network.
(2019)
The Integrated Marine Observing System National Reference Station network provides
unprecedented open access to species-level phytoplankton and zooplankton data
for researchers, managers and policy makers interested in ...
Standard Operating Procedures for Analytical Methods and Data Collection in Support of Pilot-Scale Cultivation of Microalgae. Public Output report WP1A3.01 of the EnAlgae Project,
(EnAlgae, Swansea University, Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research, Swansea, UK, 2015)
This document is a compilation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) deployed
by the EnAlgae microalgal pilot facilities. EnAlgae was a four year Strategic Initiative
of INTERREG IVB North West Europe programme. One ...
African Marine Litter Monitoring Manual.
(African Marine Waste Network, Sustainable Seas Trust, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 2020)
Universally, concerns are mounting over the ubiquitous increase in plastic in waterways and oceans
of the world. It is commonly stated that about 80% of plastic waste enters the seas from land-based
sources, of which ...
Data Management Planning for Citizen Science.
(UK Environmental Observation Framework (UKEOF), Bailrigg, UK, 2020)
This guidance note provides specific, practical advice to citizen science
practitioners (specifically those involved
in the planning, collection, storage or
use of data) about the development of
data management plans ...
Big Data and Data from Sensors.
(UK Environmental Observation Framework (UKEOF), Bailrigg, UK, 2017)
This paper aims to provide a broad
range of the UKEOF community and
partners with a brief and introductory
overview of the current state-of-play
of big data, including UKEOF partner
use cases in environmental ...
