More Information
Summary:Coastal observations and monitoring often involve the collection and analyses of disparate data sets. The amount of data collected and the understanding of the information they represent pose a challenge to researchers who study events occurring and how they affect the ecosystem. We developed a geo-referenced mobile instrument and sensing platform for characterising and mapping bays, estuaries and coastal environments. Consisting of a towed array of instruments specifically designed for shallow embayment, it employs correlative visualisation as an interpretative tool. Adaptive sampling can therefore be performed to aid and guide the data acquisition exercise with improved resolution and extended coverage.
