Towards Quantitative Spatial Models of Seabed Sediment Composition
There is a need for fit-for-purpose maps for accurately depicting the types of seabed substrate and habitat and the properties of the seabed for the benefits of research, resource management, conservation and spatial planning. The aim of this study is to determine whether it is possible to predict substrate composition across a large area of seabed using legacy grain-size data and environmental...
متن کاملSeverity of seabed spatial competition decreases towards the poles
For more than a century ecologists have considered that competitive interactions between species are more intense at low latitudes [1,2]. This is frequently invoked as either an explanation or a consequence of higher species richness in the tropics, also suggesting that competition shifts from intra- to inter-specific towards the tropics [1]. Another common assumption is that within a community...
متن کاملSpatial Variability and Robust Interpolation of Seafloor Sediment Properties Using the SEABED Data Bases
There are huge amounts of data that describe the character of the seabed based on samplings and direct inspections made over decades. That data continues to grow rapidly and are still the richest and most detailed source of seabed information, an essential adjunct of modern remote sensed data types. One impediment to the wider use of the sample data is that it is difficult to draw area-maps (gr...
متن کاملCo - Algebraic Models for Quantitative Spatial
We introduce a class of coalgebraic models and a family of modal logics that support the speci cation of spatial properties of distributed applications. The evaluation of a formula yields a value in a suitable multi-valued algebraic structure, giving a measure of the satisfaction of a requirement, induced by the decomposition of a system into subsystems, meant as available resources. As semanti...
متن کاملVisualising Coastal Seabed Characteristics: Using Vrml Models to Present Three Dimensional Spatial Data via the Web
Geoscience Australia (GA) has recently produced a number of free Webviewable 3D models for coastal data. These models are good tools for sharing information with Coastal CRC partners and stakeholders. The models integrate a diverse range of spatial data within an easy to use interface. Datasets include multi-beam bathymetry and backscatter, sediment characteristics, benthic habitats and satelli...
