Addressing ALDFG in Africa: a best practice guide.
(Sustainable Seas Trust, Gqeberha, South Africa., 2024)Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is considered harmful not only because it may lead to ghost fishing, but because fishing gear makes up a significant proportion of macrolitter in the world’s ... -
African Marine Litter Monitoring Manual. 2nd Edition.
(African Marine Waste Network, Sustainable Seas Trust, Gqeberha, South Africa, 2023)The manual evolved from an initiative in the Western Indian Ocean region that was spearheaded by WIOMSA (Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association) and Sustainable Seas Trust. The first edition created considerable ... -
Sediment Sample Collection and Preparation for the Analysis of Plastic-Related Pollutants.
(Sustainable Seas Trust, Gqeberha, South Africa., 2023)As research on plastic-related pollutants grows in Africa, it will become increasingly important to use harmonized methods to prepare and analyse samples for further analyses, so that results can be compared across the ... -
Remote Monitoring Checklist for Radial Sites : Remote monitoring , 11 August 2011.
(CODAR Ocean Sensors, Mountain View, CA, USA, 2011)Some basic daily and weekly checks of diagnostics and data quality will help in network maintenance and remote troubleshooting and early detection of any problems creeping up resulting in less downtime and overall time and ... -
100% Sustainable Ocean Management: an Introduction to Sustainable Ocean Plans.
(High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (Ocean Panel), Washington, DC, 2021)In its Transformations for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (Transformations) launched in December 2020, the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (Ocean Panel) announced a shared vision for the sustainable development ... -
Science-Policy Interfaces: From Warnings to Solutions.
(International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), 2022)Key Messages and Recommendations • Since 1972, a variety of science-policy interfaces (SPIs) have been deployed in global environmental governance to identify environmental risks and propose solutions. • The landscape ... -
Science-policy interface for plastic pollution.
(GRID-Arendal, Arendal, Norway, 2023)The international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution serves as a crucial mechanism for navigating the intricacies of the global plastic pollution crisis and fostering the development of evidence-based ... -
An automatic identification algorithm of internal solitary wave for mooring data based on geometric characteristics of the flow field.
(2023)Internal solitary wave (ISW) is one of the most important sub-mesoscale phenomenas in the ocean, and detection of which is of utmost significance for marine exploitation, ecological environment protection and military ... -
Digital Twin Earth - Coasts: Developing a fast and physics-informed surrogate model for coastal floods via neural operators.
(Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation, 2021)Developing fast and accurate surrogates for physics-based coastal and ocean models is an urgent need due to the coastal flood risk under accelerating sea level rise, and the computational expense of deterministic numerical ... -
Uncertainties in Steric Sea Level Change Estimation During the Satellite Altimeter Era: Concepts and Practices.
(2017)This article presents a review of current practice in estimating steric sea level change, focussed on the treatment of uncertainty. Steric sea level change is the contribution to the change in sea level arising from the ... -
Quantifying Daytime Heating Biases in Marine Air Temperature Observations from Ships.
(2023)Marine air temperatures recorded on ships during the daytime are known to be biased warm on average due to energy storage by the superstructure of the vessels. This makes unadjusted daytime observations unsuitable for many ... -
Recommendations for the design of in situ sampling strategies to reconstruct fine-scale ocean currents in the context of SWOT satellite mission.
(2023)The new Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission aims to provide sea surface height (SSH) measurements in two dimensions along a wideswath altimeter track with an expected effective resolution down to ... -
Ten simple rules for making a vocabulary FAIR
(2021)We present ten simple rules that support converting a legacy vocabulary—a list of terms available in a print-based glossary or in a table not accessible using web standards—into a FAIR vocabulary. Various pathways may ... -
Ecosystem Model Skill Assessment. Yes We Can!
(2016)Accelerated changes to global ecosystems call for holistic and integrated analyses of past, present and future states under various pressures to adequately understand current and projected future system states. Ecosystem ... -
Accurate oxygen measurements on modified Argo floats using in situ air calibrations.
(2016)Oxygen is an important tracer for biological processes in the ocean. Measuring changes in oxygen over annual cycles provides information about photosynthesis and respiration and their impact on the carbon cycle. Long-term, ... -
A toolbox for secondary quality control on ocean chemistry and hydrographic data.
(2015)High quality, reference measurements of chemical and physical properties of seawater are of great importance for a wide research community, including the need to validate models and attempts to quantify spatial and ... -
Oceanids C2: An Integrated Command, Control, and Data Infrastructure for the Over-the-Horizon Operation of Marine Autonomous Systems.
(2020)Long-range Marine Autonomous Systems (MAS), operating beyond the visual line-of-sight of a human pilot or research ship, are creating unprecedented opportunities for oceanographic data collection. Able to operate for up ... -
Modelled Mapping of Continuous Underwater Noise Generated by Activities.
(Marine Management Organisation, 2015)This report on underwater noise in the South marine plan areas has been prepared by ABP Marine Environmental Research Ltd (ABPmer) on behalf of the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). Quantification of underwater noise ... -
Handbook of Survey Methodology Plastics Leakage (developed for CSIRO Global Plastic Pollution Baseline Project). Version 1.4.
(CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, Canberra, Australia, 2020)We are using field sampling to measure, and mathematical modelling to estimate, the distribution and movement of plastic waste near urban centres, along waterways, on the coastline and in the ocean. We are designing robust ... -
Reporting Guidelines to Increase the Reproducibility and Comparability of Research on Microplastics.
(2020)The ubiquitous pollution of the environment with microplastics, a diverse suite of contaminants, is of growing concern for science and currently receives considerable public, political, and academic attention. The potential ...
