Journal ArticleDOI
Intercomparison of shallow water bathymetry, hydro‐optics, and benthos mapping techniques in Australian and Caribbean coastal environments
Arnold G. Dekker,Arnold G. Dekker,Stuart R. Phinn,Janet Anstee,Paul Bissett,Vittorio E. Brando,Vittorio E. Brando,Brandon Casey,Peter Fearns,John D. Hedley,Wojciech Klonowski,Zhong P. Lee,M. J. Lynch,Mitchell B. Lyons,Curtis D. Mobley,Chris Roelfsema +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the accuracy and computational efficiency of one empirical and five radiative-transfer-based published approaches applied to coastal sites at Lee Stocking Island in the Bahamas and Moreton Bay in eastern Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrence of the world's largest green-tide in 2009 in Yellow Sea, China: Porphyra yezoensis aquaculture rafts confirmed as nursery for macroalgal blooms
Dongyan Liu,John K. Keesing,John K. Keesing,Zhijun Dong,Yu Zhen,Baoping Di,Yajun Shi,Peter Fearns,Ping Shi +8 more
TL;DR: Morphological and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated the homology of Ulva prolifera in the 2008 green-tide with the U. prolifera from P. yezoensis aquaculture rafts which was sufficient to seed a bloom when they are dislodged from the rafts as a result of harvesting practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter- and intra-annual patterns of Ulva prolifera green tides in the Yellow Sea during 2007–2009, their origin and relationship to the expansion of coastal seaweed aquaculture in China
TL;DR: It is concluded that the accumulation and disposal of waste Ulva prolifera from Porphyra aquaculture rafts is the most likely cause of the blooms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retrieving key benthic cover types and bathymetry from hyperspectral imagery
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for quantitatively estimating both bathymetry and benthic cover in shallow waters from hyperspectral imagery is described. But, the method is limited to a portion of the Jurien Bay Marine Park off the coast of Western Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of the Leeuwin Current on phytoplankton biomass and production off Southwestern Australia
J. Anthony Koslow,J. Anthony Koslow,Stephane Pesant,Ming Feng,Alan Pearce,Peter Fearns,Thomas S. Moore,Richard J. Matear,Anya M. Waite +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, upwelling by the eddies and meanders as they induce cross-shelf motions, advection from the north, where the nutricline is shallower, and seasonal cooling are proposed as potential sources for the nutrients.
