A General Methodology for Beached Oil Spill Hazard Mapping.
(2020)The current lack of a standardized approach to compute the coastal oil spill hazard due to maritime traffic accidental releases has hindered an accurate estimate of its global impact, which is paramount to manage and ... -
The generalized data management and collection protocol for Conductivity-Temperature- Depth Satellite Relay Data Loggers.
(2015)The software routines for data sampling and processing that are implemented on-board telemetry devices (tags) called Conductivity-Temperature-Depth Satellite Relay Data Loggers (CTD-SRDLs) enable the simultaneous collection ... -
A generic framework for individual-based modelling and physical-biological interaction.
(2018)The increased availability of high-resolution ocean data globally has enabled more detailed analyses of physical-biological interactions and their consequences to the ecosystem. We present IBMlib, which is a versatile, ... -
Genomics in marine monitoring: New opportunities for assessing marine health status.
(2013)This viewpoint paper explores the potential of genomics technology to provide accurate, rapid, and cost efficient observations of the marine environment. The use of such approaches in next generation marine monitoring ... -
Geotechnical and Geophysical Investigations for Offshore an Nearshore Developments.
(International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, London, UK, 2005)This review of the aspects and techniques of marine site investigation has been produced by Technical Committee 1: Offshore and nearshore geotechnical engineering, of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and ... -
Global Inventory of AUV and Glider Technology available for Routine Marine Surveying. [@ September 2013]

Global in situ Observations of Essential Climate and Ocean Variables at the Air–Sea Interface.
(2019)The air–sea interface is a key gateway in the Earth system. It is where the atmosphere sets the ocean in motion, climate/weather-relevant air–sea processes occur, and pollutants (i.e., plastic, anthropogenic carbon ... -
A Global Review of Cumulative Pressure and Impact Assessments in Marine Environments.
(2016)Ever more extensive use of marine space by human activities and greater demands for marine natural resources has led to increases in both duration and spatial extent of pressures on the marine environment. In parallel, the ... -
Good enough practices in scientific computing.
(2017)Computers are now essential in all branches of science, but most researchers are never taught the equivalent of basic lab skills for research computing. As a result, data can get lost, analyses can take much longer than ... -
Good Practice Guide for Underwater Noise Measurement.
(National Measurement Office, Marine Scotland, The Crown Estate, Teddington, England, 2014)This document provides guidance on best practice for in-situ measurement of underwater sound, for processing the data, and for reporting the measurements using appropriate metrics . Measured noise levels are sometimes ... -
Good Practice Guidelines for Hydrographic Surveys in New Zealand Ports and Harbours.
(New Zealand Government, Wellington, New Zealand, 2020)These guidelines provide guidance to decision-makers and operators for planning, carrying out and managing hydrographic surveys that: support the safe navigation of vessels in New Zealand ports and harbours help to ... -
Guidance Note on the Application of Coastal Modelling for Small Island Developing States.
(National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool, UK, 2020)Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are very diverse, but have something in common: they are all vulnerable to human-induced climate change, but have contributed very little to causing the problem, due to their small ... -
Guidance on Best Practice for Marine and Coastal Physical Processes Baseline Survey and Monitoring Requirements to inform EIA of Major Development Projects.
(Natural Resources Wales, Cardiff, Wales, 2018)The purpose of this report is to provide guidance on marine, coastal and estuarine physical processes Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) baseline survey and monitoring requirements for major development projects, ... -
Guidance on Coastal Character Assessment.
(Scottish National Heritage, Inverness, Scotland, 2017)Coastal character assessment informs and guides coastal and marine planning, and individual development proposals, by informing landscape/seascape and visual impact assessments. This guidance presents the methodology on ... -
Guidance on Setup, Calibration, and Validation of Hydrodynamic, Wave, and Sediment Models for Shelf Seas and Estuaries.
(2017)This paper is motivated by a present lack of clear model performance guidelines for shelf sea and estuarine modellers seeking to demonstrate to clients and end users that a model is fit for purpose. It addresses the common ... -
Guidance to Manage the Risk to Marine Mammals from Man-made Sound Sources in Irish Waters.
(Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Dublin, Ireland, 2014)There has been increasing concern internationally about the potentially harmful effect of man-made sound on the marine environment and species therein that could be sensitive to it. Sound that is derived from human ... -
Guide du SHOM pour la Realisation des Leves Hydrographiques, Version 1.1.
(Service Hydrographique et Océanographique de la Marine (SHOM), Brest, France, 2019)Hydrography, nautical cartography, navigation aids and the dissemination of RSM are key factors for maritime safety and protection of the marine environment. These are also essential elements for the development of a ... -
Guide to Best Practice in Seascape Assessment.
(Marine Institute, Dublin, Ireland, 2001)Seascape is a crucial element in any maritime nation’s sense of identity and culture. It has played an important part in the history and development of Ireland and Wales. The coast and the sea is a primary holiday and ... -
