Multi-decadal shoreline changes in Eastern Ghana—natural dynamics versus human interventionsNARA Subscribed
Human infrastructures, such as dams, seawalls, and ports, can affect both the sedimentary budget and nearshore hydrodynamics, enhancing and accelerating the loss or gain of coastal sediments. Understanding the processes and factors controlling beach morphodynamics is essential for implementing adequate adaptation strategies in coastal areas, particularly in those regions where coastal protection measures are scarce. This study...
Assessing the relative accuracy of coral heights reconstructed from drones and structure from motion photogrammetry on coral reefsNARA Subscribed
Low-altitude high-resolution aerial photographs allow for the reconstruction of structural properties of shallow coral reefs and the quantification of their topographic complexity. This study shows the scope and limitations of two-media (air/water) Structure from Motion—Multi-View Stereo reconstruction method using drone aerial photographs to reconstruct coral height. We apply this method in nine different sites covering a tot...
Mortality from collision with vehicles is the most visible impact of road traffic on wildlife. Mortality due to roads (hereafter road‐kill) can affect the dynamic of populations of many species and can, therefore, increase the risk of local decline or extinction. This is especially true in Brazil, where plans for road network upgrading and expansion overlaps biodiversity hotspot areas, which are of high importance for global c...
Summary Chemolithoautotrophic bacteria from the genera Hydrogenovibrio, Thiomicrorhabdus and Thiomicrospira are common, sometimes dominant, isolates from sulfidic habitats including hydrothermal vents, soda and salt lakes and marine sediments. Their genome sequences confirm their membership in a deeply branching clade of the Gammaproteobacteria . Several adaptations to heterogeneous habitats are apparent. Their genomes include...
Ecosystem dynamics in the Liguro-Provençal Basin: the role of eddies in the biological production.OA Marine
We study numerically the role of mesoscale structures in the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean Sea) as a possible factor affecting the spatial distribution of the chlorophyll spring bloom. We use the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) configured for the NW Mediterranean Sea (ROMS_NWMed) and satellite derived Altimetric, Sea Surface Temperature and Chlorophyll concentration data, for years 2009 and 2010. Comparison of model out...
