Comparison of two rapid automated analysis tools for large FTIR microplastic datasets.
(2023)One of the biggest issues in microplastic (MP, plastic items <5 mm) research is the lack of standardisation and harmonisation in all fields, reaching from sampling methodology to sample purification, analytical methods ... -

(Zenodo, 2023)This SOP describes device con guration, parameter characteristics, transmission and processing of its output, ingest procedure, storage, data access possibilities, and publishing. Intended user groups are device ... -
Advancing best practices for assessing trends of ocean acidification time series.
(2022)Assessing the status of ocean acidification across ocean and coastal waters requires standardized procedures at all levels of data collection, dissemination, and analysis. Standardized procedures for assuring quality and ... -
Bot Meets Whale: Best Practices for Mitigating Negative Interactions Between Marine Mammals and MicroROVs.
(2019)Low-cost, portable, observation-class, underwater remotely operated vehicles (microROVs), which can be transported and operated by a single user, are increasingly common tools in scientific, industrial, commercial, and ... -
Review of acoustical and optical techniques to measure absolute salinity of seawater.
(2022)The salinity of seawater is of fundamental importance in climate studies, and the measurement of the variable requires high accuracy and precision in order to be able to resolve its typically small variations in the ... -
A methodology to uncertainty quantification of essential ocean variables.
(2022)The goal of this study is to provide a universally applicable procedure for a systematic evaluation of in situ measured data from single sensors regarding quantifying the uncertainty of the measurement results. As ... -
Incentivizing More Effective Marine Protected Areas with the Global Ocean Refuge System (GLORES).
(2017)Healthy oceans are essential to human survival and prosperity, yet oceans are severely impacted worldwide by anthropogenic threats including overfishing, climate change, industrialization, pollution, and habitat destruction. ... -
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 ... -
Integrating ocean observations across body-size classes to deliver benthic invertebrate abundance and distribution information.
(2023)Invertebrate animals living at the seafloor make up a prominent component of life globally, spanning 10 orders of magnitude in body size over 71% of Earth’s surface. However, integrating information across sizes and ... -
Sampling of basement fluids via Circulation Obviation Retrofit Kits (CORKs) for dissolved gases, fluid fixation at the seafloor, and the characterization of organic carbon.
(2020)The advanced instrumented GeoMICROBE sleds (Cowen et al., 2012) facilitate the collection of hydrothermal fluids and suspended particles in the subseafloor (basaltic) basement through Circulation Obviation Retrofit Kits ... -
Synergistic Exploitation of Hyper- and Multi-Spectral Precursor Sentinel Measurements to Determine Phytoplankton Functional Types (SynSenPFT).
(2017)We derive the chlorophyll a concentration (Chla) for three main phytoplankton functional types (PFTs) – diatoms, coccolithophores and cyanobacteria – by combining satellite multispectral-based information, being of a high ... -
The Role of Stakeholders in Creating Societal Value From Coastal and Ocean Observations.
(2019)The importance of stakeholder engagement in ocean observation and in particular the realization of economic and societal benefits is discussed, introducing a number of overarching principles such as the convergence on common ... -
Uncertainties of Estimating Extreme Significant Wave Height for Engineering Applications Depending on the Approach and Fitting Technique—Adriatic Sea Case Study.
(2020)Studies on the extrapolation of extreme significant wave height, based on long-term databases, are extensively covered in literature. An engineer, working in the field of naval architecture, marine engineering, or maritime ... -
OLCI-based NIR-red models for estimating chlorophyll- <i>a</i> concentration in productive coastal waters—a preliminary evaluation.
(2019)We present here results that demonstrate the potential of the recently launched Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) onboard the satellite Sentinel-3A to deliver accurate estimates of chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration ... -
A Comparison of Beach Nourishment Methodology and Performance at Two Fringing Reef Beaches in Waikiki (Hawaii, USA) and Cadiz (SW Spain).
(2020)Fringing reefs have significant impacts on beach dynamics, yet there is little research on how they should be considered in beach nourishment design, monitoring, and conservation works. Thus, the behavior and characteristics ... -
Uncertainty Quantification in Mooring Cable Dynamics Using Polynomial Chaos Expansions.
(2020)Mooring systems exhibit high failure rates. This is especially problematic for offshore renewable energy systems, like wave and floating wind, where the mooring system can be an active component and the redundancy in the ... -
Measuring Global Ocean Heat Content to Estimate the Earth Energy Imbalance.
(2019)The energy radiated by the Earth toward space does not compensate the incoming radiation from the Sun leading to a small positive energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere (0.4–1 Wm–2). This imbalance is coined Earth’s ... -
A new method for acquiring images of meiobenthic images using the FlowCAM.
(2018)The purpose of this study was to develop a new method for investigating sediment-inhabiting meiobenthos using the Flow Cytometer And Microscope (FlowCAM). Meiobenthos are widely recognized as a useful indicator for assessing ... -
On the Use of Maps and Models in Conservation and Resource Management (Warning: Results May Vary).
