High-precision habitat mapping can contribute to the identification and quantification of the
human footprint on the seafloor. As a representative of seafloor habitats, seabed sediment …

Tidal channels are crucial for the functioning of wetlands, though their morphological
properties, which are relevant for seafloor habitats and flow, have been understudied so far …

A new method for multibeam echosounder (MBES) data analysis is presented with the aim
of improving habitat mapping, especially when considering submerged aquatic vegetation …

Multibeam echosounder water column data provides a three-dimensional image of features
between the water surface and the seafloor. Although this swath of acoustic data can be …

Although rivers are of immense practical, aesthetic, and recreational value, these aquatic
habitats are particularly sensitive to environmental changes. Increasingly, changes in …

Multibeam acoustic backscatter has considerable utility for remote characterization of
spatially heterogeneous bed sediment composition over vegetated and unvegetated …

Kelp forests worldwide are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic impacts including
kelp harvesting, pollution, and higher sea surface temperatures due to climate change …

Seafloor habitat mapping plays an important role in marine environment monitoring and
marine geological research. Optic and acoustic remote sensing are becoming common …

In the late seventies and early eighties of the last century, a group of researchers of the CNR
started to systematically investigate the evolution of the Venice Lagoon since its origin …

Writing a master thesis is a work to which a lot of people contributed in a direct or indirect
way. It is also the crown on my education of five years. It would therefore like to use this page …
