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

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

Characterisation of the ecosystem functioning of mudflats requires insight on the
morphology and facies of these coastal features, but also on biological processes that …

Benthic organisms and their bioturbation activities have a profound effect on a multitude of
sediment properties. While many studies have already explored benthic impacts at small …

Biofilm-based cultivation systems are emerging as a promising technology for microalgae
production. However, efficient and non-invasive monitoring routines are still lacking. Here, a …

Microbial biofilms have received great attention in the last few decades from both aquatic
ecologists and biogeomorphologists. Most recently, this has focused on mapping biofilms to …

The gross primary production (GPP) of intertidal mudflat microphytobenthos supports
important ecosystem services such as shoreline stabilization and food production, and it …

Using data collected by the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) on the
International Space Station between 2010–2014, hyperspectral reflectance spectra of …

Microphytobenthos (MPB) are central to benthic tidal flat ecological networks. Large-scale
information on total MPB biomass is difficult to obtain from traditional in-situ measurements …

Opportunistic macroalgal blooms have been used for the assessment of the ecological
status of coastal and estuarine areas in Europe. The use of earth observation (EO) data sets …
