In this study, statistical analysis and forecasting were performed using coastal litter data of Korea. The analysis indicated that rope and vinyl accounted for the highest proportion of coastal litter items. The statistical analysis of the national c...
Continuous monitoring of oil discharges in coastal and open ocean waters using Earth Observation (EO) has undeniably contributed to diminishing their occurrence wherever a detection system was in place, such as in Europe (EMSA's CleanSeaNet) or in th...
One of the major threats to marine ecosystems is pollution, particularly, that associated with the offshore oil and gas industry. Oil spills occur in the world's oceans every day, either as large-scale spews from drilling-rig or tanker accidents, or ...
Water transparency affects the degree of sunlight penetration in water, which is important to many water quality processes. It can be visually measured by lowering a Secchi disk (SD) into water and recording its disappearance depth - the Secchi disk ...
The insatiable desire of society for plastic goods has led to synthetic materials becoming omnipresent in the marine environment. In attempting to address the problem of plastic pollution, we propose an image classifier based on the YOLOv5 deep learn...
With the global issue of marine debris ever expanding, it is imperative that the technology industry steps in. The aim is to find if deep learning can successfully distinguish between marine life and synthetic debris underwater. This study assesses w...
Sunken oil incidents have occurred multiple times in the Bohai Sea over the past ten years. Currently, quick and effective sunken oil detection and classification remains a difficult problem. In this study, sonar detection experiments are conducted t...
Oil spill discharges from operational maritime activities like ships, oil rigs and other structures, leaking pipelines, as well as natural hydrocarbon seepage pose serious threats to marine ecosystems and fisheries. Satellite synthetic aperture radar...
Mitigating and preventing beach litter from entering the ocean is urgently required. Monitoring beach litter solely through human effort is cumbersome, with respect to both time and cost. To address this problem, an artificial intelligence technique ...
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is an important indicator of river health for environmental engineers and ecological scientists to understand the state of river health. This study aims to evaluate the reliability of four feature selector algorithms i.e., Borut...
