Methods for the Study of Marine Biodiversity.
(Springer Open, 2017)
Recognition of the threats to biodiversity and its importance to society has led to calls for globally coordinated sampling of trends in marine ecosystems. As a step to defining such efforts, we review current methods of ...
Standardised survey procedures for monitoring rocky and coral reef ecological communities.
(Reef Life Survey, Hobart, Tasmania, 2015)
This manual describes the standard Reef
Life Survey (RLS) methods for estimating
densities
of fishes, large
macroinvertebrates, and sessile communities on rocky and coral
reefs.
These (and compatible)
methods ...
Systematic global assessment of reef fish communities by the Reef Life Survey program.
(2014)
Discussion of the Reef Life Survey Methods Manual: https://www.oceanbestpractices.net/handle/11329/447. Established in 2007 as a means to overcome the shortage of resources and capacity to provide
quantitative data on ...
Recommendations for improved and coherent acquisition and processing of backscatter data from seafloor-mapping sonars.
(2018)
Multibeam echosounders are becoming widespread for the purposes of seafloor bathymetry mapping, but the acquisition and the use of seafloor backscatter measurements, acquired simultaneously with the bathymetric data, are ...

Improved Calibration and Data Processing Procedures of OPUS Optical Sensor for High-Resolution in situ Monitoring of Nitrate in Seawater.
(2021)
Nitrate, an essential nutrient for primary production in natural waters, is optically
detectable in the ultraviolet spectral region of 217–240 nm, with no chemical reagents
required. Optical nitrate sensors allow monitoring ...
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 ...
