This sixth special issue on Marine and Coastal Geographic Information Systems (M&CGIS) 11 is the first to be based on an organized series of presentations at a conference, the 2008 12 Association of American Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, 13 USA. The papers were selected and peer reviewed for publication in this special issue 14 under the theme “Marine Geomorphology ...
متن کاملEstimating the spatial extent of bottom-water hypoxia and habitat degradation in a shallow estuary
Bottom-water hypoxia (≤2 mg l–1 dissolved oxygen [DO]) greatly modifies the benthic habitat of estuaries, depending upon spatial extent, duration, and frequency. Bottom-water hypoxia often develops under conditions of density stratification, which inhibits vertical mixing, and warm temperatures, which enhance biological oxygen demand. Long-term, mid-channel data from the Neuse River Estuary in ...
متن کاملHabitat selection of a coastal shark species estimated from an autonomous underwater vehicle
Quantifying habitat selection in marine organisms is challenging because it is difficult to obtain species location information with multiple corresponding habitat measurements. In the ocean, habitat conditions vary on many spatiotemporal scales, which have important consequences for habitat selection. While macroscale biotic and abiotic features influence seasonal movements (spatial scales of ...
متن کاملLIDAR As An Effective Method For Coastal Habitat Mapping
Overview: Mapping along the coastlines of the United States has historically been an epic battle for the most accurate representation of the shoreline. This effort has been felt by all agencies of the government and private sector as inhabitation near our oceans has skyrocketed in the last half century. These agencies look for the most accurate data to convey to their constituents, customers an...
متن کاملTemporal and Spatial Patterns of Habitat Use by Juveniles of a Small Coastal Shark (Mustelus lenticulatus) in an Estuarine Nursery
Juvenile rig (Mustelus lenticulatus) were internally tagged with acoustic transmitters and tracked with acoustic receivers deployed throughout two arms of Porirua Harbour, a small (7 km(2)) estuary in New Zealand. Ten rig were tracked for up to four months during summer-autumn to determine their spatial and temporal use of the habitat. The overall goal was to estimate the size of Marine Protect...
