The Application of Uncertainty Quantification Techniques and Information Theory to Oil Spill and Ocean Forecasting.
(University of Miami (PhD Thesis), Coral Gables, Florida, 2017)Quantifying uncertainties in ocean current forecasts is an important component of formulating a response to an oil spill, e.g. to compute the anticipated oil trajectories. Polynomial Chaos (PC) methods have recently been ... -
Approaching Trust: Case Studies for Developing Global Research Infrastructures.
(2021)Research is a global endeavor of iteration and collaboration. Research requires trust-building: shared understanding of process, access to source data, and points of validation. A number of trust structures are used by ... -
Aquaculture Facility Certification BAP Farm Standard Issue 3.0 – 01-March-2021 Best Aquaculture Practices Certification Standards, Guidelines.
(Best Aquaculture Practices, Portsmouth, NH, 2021)The following Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) standards apply to the farming of finfish, crustaceans, and other aquatic invertebrates. They cover all production methods, including flow-through, partial exchange, and closed ... -
The Argos-CLS Kalman Filter: Error Structures and State-Space Modelling Relative to Fastloc GPS Data.
(2015)Understanding how an animal utilises its surroundings requires its movements through space to be described accurately. Satellite telemetry is the only means of acquiring movement data for many species however data are ... -
ASC Abalone Standard. Version 1.1.
(Aquaculture Stewardship Council, Utrecht The Netherlands, 2019)Linked to the ASC Vision, the Scope of the ASC Abalone Standard addresses the key negative environmental and social impacts associated with the Abalone aquaculture industry. An ASC-certified farm contributes in reducing ... -
Assegnazione di Zone Marine per l'Acquacoltura (AZA). Guida Tecnica.
(ISPRA, Rome, Italy, 2020)This Technical Guide, drafted by ISPRA for the General direction of fisheries and aquaculture of the Ministry of Agriculture, is a practical tool to facilitate the understanding of the processes for the identification and ... -
Assessing data change in scientific datasets.
(2021)Scientific datasets are growing rapidly and becoming critical to next‐generation scientific discoveries. The validity of scientific results relies on the quality of data used and data are often subject to change, for ... -
Assessing data quality in citizen science.
(2016)Ecological and environmental citizen-science projects have enormous potential to advance scientific knowledge, influence policy, and guide resource management by producing datasets that would otherwise be infeasible to ... -
Assimilation of coastal and open sea biogeochemical data to improve phytoplankton simulation in the Mediterranean Sea.
(2018)The high spatial and temporal variability of biogeochemical features, induced by local dynamics and terrestrial and atmospheric inputs in shelf seas, are challenging issues for the implementation of data assimilation in ... -
Assimilation of significant wave height from distributed ocean wave sensors.
(2021)In-situ ocean wave observations are critical to improve model skill and validate remote sensing wave measurements. Historically, such observations are extremely sparse due to the large costs and complexity of traditional ... -
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 ... -
An automated real-time vessel sound measurement system for calculating monopole source levels using a modified version of ANSI/ASA S12.64-2009.
(2016)Underwater noise from vessels permeates many of the world’s oceans. While vessel sound emissions are at levels typically below those that would be acutely injurious to marine fauna, this noise can interfere with normal ... -
Autonomous Optofluidic Chemical Analyzers for Marine Applications: Insights from the Submersible Autonomous Moored Instruments (SAMI) for pH and pCO2.
(2018)The commercial availability of inexpensive fiber optics and small volume pumps in the early 1990’s provided the components necessary for the successful development of low power, low reagent consumption, autonomous ... -
Basic fishing methods: a comprehensive guide to commercial fishing methods.
(Seafish, Edinburgh, Scotland, 2022)Basic Fishing Methods provides a wealth of basic knowledge on how wild fish and shellfish are caught using a range of fishing methods. You may be keen to see how different types of gear work, or just interested in the ... -
Bayesian statistics and modelling.
(2021)Bayesian statistics is an approach to data analysis based on Bayes’ theorem, where available knowledge about parameters in a statistical model is updated with the information in observed data. The background knowledge ... -
A benthic substrate classification method for seabed images using deep learning: Application to management of deep-sea coral reefs.
(2023)Protecting deep-sea coral-based vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) from human impacts, particularly bottom trawling, is a major conservation challenge in world oceans. Management processes for these ecosystems are weakened ... -
Benthic Terrain Modeler (BTM) 3.0, tools for understanding and classifying the benthic environment. [Sofware]
(Esri, Redlands, CA, USA, 2018)A full tutorial with sample data is included with this zip file within the 'tutorial' directory. This self-paced training module introduces the benthic terrain modeling concepts used in the BTM, and steps users through ... -
Best Management Practice Recommendations For Seaweed Relocation Activities,
(Galveston Park Board, Galvaston, TX, 2015)This document has been prepared to help enhance the beach experience and improve environmental stewardship for the benefit of all beach visitors. The beaches of Galveston provide many unique and diverse recreational ... -
Best Practice Framework and Principles for Monitoring the Effect of Coastal Development on Marine Mammals.
(2017)As the world’s human population increases along the coastal zone, with major alteration of coastal embayments, increased on-water activities and a plethora of other intrusions into the coastal zone, there is a simultaneous ... -
Best Practice Guide for Underwater Particle Motion Measurement for Biological Applications.
(University of Exeter for the IOGP Marine Sound and Life Joint Industry Programme, Exeter, UK, 2021)The problem: All sound comprises fluctuations in pressure and particle motion (PM) and all fishes and many aquatic invertebrates detect PM. Noise is unwanted or harmful sound, and underwater anthropogenic noise is a global ...
