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 ... -
Emerging Methodologies Applied to Automated Data Quality Control.
(2018)Oceanographers have faced three specific challenges for the past half-century: limited electrical power, challenging data telemetry, and biofouling. Amazing advances are being made in all three areas, and substantial ... -
EMFF Benthic Impacts Decision Support Tool User Manual Version 4.0.
(Bangor University, Bangor, Wales, 2020)Bottom trawl fisheries impact sedimentary habitats to various degrees. It is difficult to determine whether a fishery is causing serious or irreversible harm to a habitat objectively. Marine protected areas are areas that ... -
An empirical approach to improving tidal predictions using recent real-time tide gauge data.
(2015)Harmonic tidal prediction methods are often problematic in estuaries owing to the distortion of tidal fluctuations in shallow water, causing disparity between predicted and observed sea levels. The UK National Tidal and ... -
Enabling local blue growth in developing countries: a thematic review.
(Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, Gothenburg, Sweden, 2021)Blue growth – the prospect of economic revenue and wellbeing from the sustainable use of ocean resources – has caught the interest of most coastal and island nations of the world, including many developing countries. The ... -
An End-to-End DNA Taxonomy Methodology for Benthic Biodiversity Survey in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, Central Pacific Abyss.
(2016)Recent years have seen increased survey and sampling expeditions to the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), central Pacific Ocean abyss, driven by commercial interests from contractors in the potential extraction of polymetallic ... -
Environmental Decision Support Systems for Monitoring Small Scale Oil Spills: Existing Solutions, Best Practices and Current Challenges.
(2019)In recent years, large oil spills have received widespread media attention, while small and micro oil spills are usually only acknowledged by the authorities and local citizens who are directly or indirectly affected by ... -
Environmental DNA applications in biomonitoring and bioassessment of aquatic ecosystems: Guidelines.
(Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), Bern, Switzerland, 2020)Aquatic biomonitoring is currently transformed by environmental DNA (eDNA) based approaches. These new tools overcome some limitations of traditional biomonitoring and allow non-invasive sampling, broad taxonomic coverage, ... -
ERSEM 15.06: a generic model for marine biogeochemistry and the ecosystem dynamics of the lower trophic levels.
(2016)The European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM) is one of the most established ecosystem models for the lower trophic levels of the marine food web in the scientific literature. Since its original development in the ... -
Estimating animal population densities using passive acoustics.
(2013)Reliable estimation of the size or density of wild animal populations is very important for effective wildlife management, conservation and ecology. Currently, the most widely used methods for obtaining such estimates ... -
Estimating Uncertainties in Oceanographic Trace Element Measurements.
(2019)A realistic estimation of uncertainty is an essential requirement for all analytical measurements. It is common practice, however, for the uncertainty estimate of a chemical measurement to be based on the instrumental ... -
Ethical recommendations for ocean observation.
(2018)The United Nations proclaimed a decade of marine science for sustainable development (2021–2030) to develop a common framework that will ensure that ocean science can fully support countries in achieving the goal of ... -
Evaluating benthic flux measurements from a gradient flux system.
(2022)Multiple methods exist to measure the benthic flux of dissolved oxygen (DO), but many are limited by short deployments and provide only a snapshot of the processes occurring at the sediment–water interface. The gradient flux ... -
Evaluating LoRaWAN Connectivity in a Marine Scenario.
(2021)The growing need for interoperability among the different oceanic monitoring systems to deliver services able to answer the requirements of stakeholders and end-users led to the development of a low-cost machine-to-machine ... -
Evaluating the Benefits of Bayesian Hierarchical Methods for Analyzing Heterogeneous Environmental Datasets: A Case Study of Marine Organic Carbon Fluxes.
(2021)Large compilations of heterogeneous environmental observations are increasingly available as public databases, allowing researchers to test hypotheses across datasets. Statistical complexities arise when analyzing compiled ... -
Evaluating the performance of methods for estimating the abundance of rapidly declining coastal shark populations.
(2012)Accurately surveying shark populations is critical to monitoring precipitous ongoing declines in shark abundance and interpreting the effects that these reductions are having on ecosystems. To evaluate the effectiveness ... -
Evaluation of a Ferrozine Based Autonomous in Situ Lab-on-Chip Analyzer for Dissolved Iron Species in Coastal Waters.
(2017)The trace metal iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for phytoplankton growth and limits, or co-limits primary production across much of the world’s surface ocean. Iron is a redox sensitive element, with Fe(II) and ... -
Evaluation of a lifetime‐based optode to measure oxygen in aquatic systems.
(2006)In this article, we evaluate the performance of a commercially available lifetime‐based optode and compare it with data obtained by other methods. We performed a set of 10 different tests, including targeted laboratory ... -
Evaluation of an acoustic remote sensing method for frontal-zone studies using double-diffusive instability microstructure data and density interface data from intrusions.
(2016)Understanding intrusive exchange at oceanic water mass fronts may depend on building data-constrained models of the processes, but obtaining the needed representative and comprehensive data is challenging. Acoustic imaging ... -
Evaluation of CuNiFer 10 Biofouling Resistance.
(CoastalObsTechServices LLC, Virginia Beach, VA, 2018)CuNiFer 10 is a copper / nickel / iron alloy with natural anti-corrosion and anti-biofouling properties, however it is not commonly used by the oceanographic community. This report details the results of a six month test, ...
