Technical advancements have widened the limits of remote sensing in mapping shallow
water benthic habitats and bathymetry over the last decades. On the other hand, the needs …

Marine ecosystem monitoring requires observations of its attributes at different spatial and
temporal scales that traditional sampling methods (eg, RGB imaging, sediment cores) …

Biofilm activities and their interactions with physical, chemical and biological processes are
of great importance for a variety of ecosystem functions, impacting hydrogeomorphology …

Hyperspectral seafloor surveys using airborne or spaceborne sensors are generally limited
to shallow coastal areas, due to the requirement for target illumination by sunlight. Deeper …

We developed a novel integrated technology for diver-operated surveying of shallow marine
ecosystems. The HyperDiver system captures rich multifaceted data in each transect …

We investigate the potential of hyperspectral imaging spectrometry for the analysis of fresh
sediment cores. A sediment-core-scanning system equipped with a camera working in the …

Identification of benthic megafauna is commonly based on analysis of physical samples or
imagery acquired by cameras mounted on underwater platforms. Physical collection of …

Hyperspectral imagers enable the collection of high-resolution spectral images exploitable
for the supervised classification of habitats and objects of interest (OOI). Although this is a …

We describe an Underwater Hyperspectral Imager (UHI) deployed on an instrument-carrying
platform consisting of two interconnected mini-ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicle) for the …

The impacts of human activity on coastal ecosystems are becoming increasingly evident
across the world. Consequently, there is a growing need to map, monitor, and manage these …
