Accurate estimation of diffuse attenuation coefficients in the visible wavelengths Kd(λ) from remotely sensed data is particularly challenging in global oceanic and coastal waters. The objectives of the present study are to evaluate the applicability...
Accurate assessment of chlorophyll a (Chla) concentration distribution and variations is significant for environmental monitoring and ecological research. However, the inversion of Chla in different optical types of water bodies can only be achieved ...
Marine pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health, necessitating a structured evaluation framework. This study applies the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to prioritize five major marine pollution sourc...
As the sea ice reduces in both extent and thickness and the Arctic Ocean opens, there is substantial interest in mapping the marine ecosystem in this remote and until now largely inaccessible ocean. We used the during surveys in the Central Arctic O...
Instantaneous photosynthetically available radiation (IPAR) at the ocean surface and its vertical profile below the surface play a critical role in models to calculate net primary productivity of marine phytoplankton. In this work, we report two IPAR...

Intricate networks of single-celled eukaryotes (protists) dominate carbon flow in the ocean. Their growth, demise, and interactions with other microorganisms drive the fluxes of biogeochemical elements through marine ecosystems. Mixotrophic protists ...
Sampling genetic material from phytoplankton in open ocean eddies becomes more precise and efficient using a heterogeneous network of autonomous marine robots.
The deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) layer is an ecologically important feature of the open ocean. The DCM cannot be observed using aerial or satellite remote sensing; thus, in situ observations are essential. Further, understanding the responses of mi...
Knowing the displacement capacity and mobility patterns of industrially exploited (i.e., fished) marine resources is key to establishing effective conservation management strategies in human-impacted marine ecosystems. Acquiring accurate behavioral i...
