This review examines the various strategies and methods used to produce benthic habitat
maps using acoustic remote sensing techniques, coupled with in situ sampling. The …

Multibeam echosounder systems (MBES) have long provided bathymetric data with high
temporal and spatial resolution. In the last couple of decades, MBES observations of …

Despite many of years of mapping effort, only a small fraction of the world ocean's seafloor
has been sampled for depth, greatly limiting our ability to explore and understand critical …

Human impacts on the seafloor environment have reached unprecedented levels. To
facilitate ocean management and mitigate these impacts, there is a need to improve our …

There are many things and services in our everyday life that we take for granted, and
telecommunications is one of them. We surf the internet, send emails to friends and …

For the first time, the distribution of seafloor geomorphic features has been systematically
mapped over much of the Australian margin and adjacent seafloor. Each of 21 feature types …

The establishment of multibeam echosounders (MBES) as a mainstream tool in ocean
mapping has facilitated integrative approaches towards nautical charting, benthic habitat …

The relationship between acoustic backscatter, sediment characteristics and benthic habitat
is examined using high-resolution sidescan sonar data collected at the Loch Linnhe artificial …

Mapping of seabed habitats is increasingly being used to identify the distribution and
structure of marine ecosystems and as surrogate measures of biodiversity for marine …

Developments in acoustic survey techniques, in particular multibeam sonar, have
revolutionised the way we are able to image, map and understand the seabed environment …
