Autonomous underwater vehicles are becoming more and more common in the maritime industry, and technology is rapidly developing for different applications, such as inspection, maintenance and surveillance. Meanwhile, more advanced...

Ever since the launch of the VRSS-2 Antonio José de Sucre satellite in 2017, researchers have been looking into how best to use and apply the information that it provides...

Currently, calibration of multibeam echosounders (MBES) for hydrographic surveys is based on the traditional ‘patch test’ method. This subjective method, although rigorous, has major drawbacks, such as being time-consuming (in...

Experts have reconstructed the depth of the Southern Ocean at key phases in the last 34 million years of the Antarctic’s climate history. The glacial history of the Antarctic is...

What is the best image classification technique to optimize maps so that effective action can be taken to conserve seagrass meadows? The distribution of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows has been...

This paper explores the various features of the Apache USV series for efficient seafloor-level mapping. The CHCNAV hydrographic survey software is used for data recording and analysis. It provides results...

Details of a new depth map of the Arctic Ocean have been published in the Nature Journal Scientific Data. The new portrayal of the Arctic Ocean floor is in the...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a significant part of the water cycle that delivers anthropogenically derived and naturally occurring nutrients to coastal waters. As part of the drive to develop...
