Journal ArticleDOI
Benthic habitat mapping: A review of progress towards improved understanding of the spatial ecology of the seafloor using acoustic techniques
TL;DR: This review examines the various strategies and methods used to produce benthic habitat maps using acoustic remote sensing techniques, coupled with in situ sampling and concludes that the advent of spatial ecological studies founded on high-resolution environmental data sets will undoubtedly help to examine patterns in community and species distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developments in the application of multibeam sonar backscatter for seafloor habitat mapping
Craig J. Brown,Philippe Blondel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of recent developments in the application of multibeam echosounders for seafloor habitat studies, with a focus on the use of backscatter data for surficial geology and habitat mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of sidescan backscatter with grain size distribution of surficial seabed sediments
Jenny S. Collier,Craig J. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the dependence of acoustic backscatter on sediment grain size distribution using dual frequency (100 and 410 kHz) sidescan sonar and 22 sediment grab samples from the Loch Linnhe artificial reef site on the west coast of Scotland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic mapping using a multibeam echosounder reveals cold-water coral reefs and surrounding habitats
TL;DR: In this article, multibeam surveys were carried out in four areas to the west of Scotland where the coral Lophelia pertusa had previously been recorded, and distinctive seabed mounds were found in one area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angular range analysis of acoustic themes from Stanton Banks Ireland: A link between visual interpretation and multibeam echosounder angular signatures
TL;DR: In this article, an approach to combine mosaicking and angular response analysis techniques in an attempt to take advantage of both the spatial resolution of the mosaic, and the angular resolution derived from the angular response was proposed.
