As the ocean development process speeds up, the technical means of ocean exploration
are being upgraded. Due to the characteristics of seawater and the complex underwater …

Coastal zones have large social, economic and environmental values. They are more
densely populated than the hinterland and concentrate large economic assets, critical …

An updated global bathymetry and topography grid is presented using a spatial sampling
interval of 15 arc sec. The bathymetry is produced using a combination of shipboard …

In recent years, underwater visible light communication (UVLC) has become a potential
wireless carrier candidate for signal transmission in highly critical, unknown, and …

Abstract The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica is a region that is key to a range of
climatic and oceanographic processes with worldwide effects, and is characterised by high …

The lower shoreface provides the connection between the continental shelf and the
shoreline via its onshore transition called the upper shoreface. Lower shorefaces are …

Autonomous platforms already make observations over a wide range of temporal and spatial
scales, measuring salinity, temperature, nitrate, pressure, oxygen, biomass, and many other …

Coastal regions (including estuaries and deltas) are very complex environments with
diverse hydrodynamic and bio-geomorphological contexts and with important socio …

Shallow nearshore coastal waters provide a wealth of societal, economic, and ecosystem
services, yet their topographic structure is poorly mapped due to a reliance upon expensive …

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) has significant potential to enhance our knowledge of
Earth's coastal regions. However, SDB still has limitations when applied to the turbid, but …
