Journal ArticleDOI
Marine geophysical evidence for ice sheet extension and recession on the Malin Shelf: New evidence for the western limits of the British Irish Ice Sheet
TL;DR: In this article, multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data collected as part of the Irish National Seabed Survey and Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland's Marine Resource programmes is used to investigate the glacial geomorphology of the Malin Shelf.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of image-based multibeam sonar backscatter classification for benthic habitat discrimination and mapping at Stanton Banks, UK
TL;DR: In this paper, the QTC-Multiview software was used for segmentation of multibeam backscatter data into acoustic provinces, based on ground-truth data and coded video segments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of scour in shipwreck site formation processes and the preservation of wreck-associated scour signatures in the sedimentary record – evidence from seabed and sub-surface data
TL;DR: The morphology of resultant scour signatures are controlled by the orientation of the wreck structure in relation to the prevailing hydrodynamic regime, the morphology and size of the ship and individual site components, the hydrodynamical regime (currents, waves or combined waves and currents), bathymetry and the geology of the site (seafloor and sub-surface conditions) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of supervised and unsupervised classification techniques for marine benthic habitat mapping using multibeam echosounder data
TL;DR: Two classifications were performed on each of the datasets to produce habitat maps: maximum likelihood supervised classification (MLC) and ISO Cluster unsupervised classification and accuracy of the supervised habitat maps was assessed using total agreement, quantity disagreement, and allocation disagreement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurate Mental Maps as an Aspect of Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK): a Case Study from Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland
TL;DR: In this article, a mental map of the substrate of Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland, compiled from interviews with local fishermen, is compared with maps produced by science-based techniques.
