Shallow water theory for structured bathymetry

Shallow Water Laser Bathymetry: Accomplishments and Applications

Airbome Laser Bathymetry (ALB) is a technique primarily aimed at augmenting nautical chart production and bathymetric mapping capability in relatively shallow coastal waters. The potential of waterpenetrating airborne laser radar to provide cost effective characterization of underwater topography to depths as great as 50 meters, depending on water clarity, has triggered a number of research and...

Nonlinear edge waves and shallow-water theory

Assessing water surface effects on LiDAR bathymetry measurements in very shallow rivers: a theoretical study

Bathymetry on continental hydrographic networks is up to now limited to small areas. This hampers exhaustive hydrological or ecological studies on hydrographic networks at management scales. To enlarge rivers bathymetry surveys, bathymetric, i.e. green LiDAR appears as an interesting tool. But if this technique has been widely used for coastal surveys, very few studies focus on water depth meas...

Shallow-water Bathymetry over Variable Bottom Types Using Multispectral Worldview-2 Image

Image processing techniques that involve multispectral remotely sensed data are considered attractive for bathymetry applications as they provide a timeand cost-effective solution to water depths estimation. In this paper the potential of 8-bands image acquired by Worldview-2 satellite in providing precise depth measurements was investigated. Multispectral image information was integrated with ...

Bathymetry and body size in marine gastropods: a shallow water perspective

Spatial patterns of species body size across major environmental gradients are being quantified for terrestrial organisms, but similar efforts are largely lacking for marine invertebrates. Bathymetry represents a major environmental gradient in the oceans, and existing theoretical models predict that species body size should decrease with increasing depth, especially for deep-sea species. Previ...
