The biological pump transports organic matter, created by phytoplankton productivity in the
well-lit surface ocean, to the ocean's dark interior, where it is consumed by animals and …

Ecologists need data on animal–habitat associations in terrestrial and aquatic environments
to design and implement effective conservation strategies. Habitat characteristics used in …

Polarized light is a pervasive influence in our world—and scientists and engineers in a
variety of fields require the tools to understand, measure, and apply it to their advantage …

Imaging polarimetry has emerged over the past three decades as a powerful tool to enhance
the information available in a variety of remote sensing applications. We discuss the …

This paper discusses the current state of underwater optical imaging in the context of
physics, technology, biology, and history. The paper encompasses not only the history of …

Satellite passive ocean color instruments have provided an unbroken∼ 20-year record of
global ocean plankton properties, but this measurement approach has inherent limitations in …

This paper provides a review of the development of profiling oceanographic lidars. These
can provide quantitative profiles of the optical properties of the water column to depths of 20 …

The applications of remote sensing methods for fisheries research are reviewed, namely the
use of airborne, and active and passive satellite technology. The utilisation of satellite …
