Compendium: Coastal Management Practices on West Africa. Existing and potential solutions to control coastal erosion, prevent flooding and mitigate damage to society.
(World Bank, Washington D.C., 2022)Erosion and flooding are the most visible consequences of coastal zone degradation in West Africa. Man-made and natural processes, aggravated by the effects of climate change, cause erosion and flooding. These threatened ... -
Best practice in seabed image analysis for determining taxa, habitat, or substrata distributions.
(Ministry for Primary Industries, Wellington, N.Z., 2020)This is a review of seabed imaging survey methods and their application in New Zealand, focusing on the deep sea and covering the fields of image acquisition, data extraction from imagery, and data management. The potential ... -
Monte Carlo–Based Quantification of Uncertainties in Determining Ocean Remote Sensing Reflectance from Underwater Fixed-Depth Radiometry Measurements.
(2020)A new framework that enables evaluation of the in situ ocean color radiometry measurement uncertainty is presented. The study was conducted on the multispectral data from a permanent mooring deployed in clear open ocean ... -
Determination of dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved nitrogen in seawater using High Temperature Combustion Analysis.
(2022)This document describes best practices for analysis of dissolved organic matter (dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved nitrogen) in seawater samples. Included are SOPs for sample collection and storage, details ... -
A numerical framework for modeling fate and transport of microplastics in inland and coastal waters.
(2022)Proliferation of microplastics in rivers, lakes, estuaries, coastal waters and oceans is a major global challenge and threat to the environment, livelihoods and human health. Reliable predictive tools can play an essential ... -
Modeling Environmental DNA Transport in the Coastal Ocean Using Lagrangian Particle Tracking.
(2019)A number of studies have illustrated the utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) for detecting marine vertebrates. However, little is known about the fate and transport of eDNA in the ocean, thus limiting the ability to ... -
Best Practices for Increasing Data Return: Case Study From Indian Ocean Observation Network
(2019)Sustained real-time ocean observation systems using moored data buoys are vital for understanding ocean dynamics and variability, which are essential for improving oceanographic services including weather prediction, ... -
Ideas and perspectives: Proposed best practices for collaboration at cross-disciplinary observatories,
(2019)Interdisciplinary science affords new opportunities but also presents new challenges for biogeosciences collaboration. Since 2007, we have conducted site-based interdisciplinary research in central PA, USA, at the ... -
Guidance on Best Practice for Marine and Coastal Physical Processes Baseline Survey and Monitoring Requirements to inform EIA of Major Development Projects.
(Natural Resources Wales, Cardiff, Wales, 2018)The purpose of this report is to provide guidance on marine, coastal and estuarine physical processes Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) baseline survey and monitoring requirements for major development projects, ... -
Best Practices for Comparing Ocean Turbulence Measurements across Spatiotemporal Scales.
(2021)The turbulent energy dissipation rate in the ocean can be measured by using rapidly sampling microstructure shear probes, or by applying a finescale parameterization to coarser-resolution density and/or shear profiles. ... -
A two-part seabed geomorphology classification scheme, Version 2.0. Part 1: Morphology features glossary.
(Zenodo, 2020)This report updates the ‘Two-part Seabed Geomorphology classification scheme’ of Dove et al. (2016) and presents a new glossary (Part 1) of Seabed Morphology features. This Morphology glossary is intended to provide marine ... -
A two-part seabed geomorphology classification scheme. Part 2: Geomorphology classification framework and glossary - Version 1.0.
(Zenodo, 2023)Maps of seabed geomorphology provide foundational information for a broad range of marine applications. These maps rely on bathymetry data from which geomorphic units can be identified, supported by knowledge of the ... -
Comparison of three quick methods to estimate crab size in the land crabs Cardisoma guanhumi Latreille, 1825 and Ucides cordatus (Crustacea: Brachyura: Gecarcinidae and Ucididae).
(2012)Quick, reliable and non destructive methods are necessary to estimate size structure on commercial land crabs, in order to acquire relevant information concerning the health of their populations. Cardisoma guanhumi and ... -
7 Ocean Data Things: A Self-Guided Course. [TRAINING COURSE]
(2023)The 7 Ocean Data Things project is based on 23 Data Things by Helene Blowers, but given an Ocean Data context for early career researchers. The 7 Ocean Data Things project is a self guided course, part of CIOOS’ Data ... -
Principles and best practices in data versioning for all data sets big and small. Version 1.1.
(Research Data Alliance (RDA), 2020)The demand for better reproducibility of research results is growing. More and more data is becoming available online. In some cases, the datasets have become so large that downloading the data is no longer feasible. Data ... -
FAIR Data Maturity Model Specification and Guidelines. [Proposed recommendation; version for public review]
(Research Data Alliance (RDA), 2020)The FAIR Data Maturity Model defines a set of indicators, their priorities and evaluation methods for the evaluation of the FAIR principles to be used as a common approach across assessment methodologies. This document ... -
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 ... -
Survey on the method of creating a tidal current harmonic constants data set.
(2020)Sea current information is used in a variety of fields, including navigation safety, marine economic activities, marine environment conservation, and marine leisure. The Japan Coast Guards Hydrographic and Oceanographic ... -
Modeling and Simulation of Aquaculture Systems.
(2022)In this work, models for aquaculture are developed with regard to their relevance in an automated recirculation system. The three subsystems fish, water, and feed are determined as modular components. A selection of relevant ... -
Evaluation of Ocean Color Remote Sensing Algorithms for Diffuse Attenuation Coefficients and Optical Depths with Data Collected on BGC-Argo Floats.
(2020)The vertical distribution of irradiance in the ocean is a key input to quantify processes spanning from radiative warming, photosynthesis to photo-oxidation. Here we use a novel dataset of thousands local-noon downwelling ...
