Haptophytes are photosynthetic protists found in both freshwater and marine environments with an origin possibly dating back to the Neoproterozoic era. The most recent molecular phylogeny reveals several haptophyte “mystery clades” that a...
In the framework of the EU project Flooding Accident Response (FLARE), flooding mitigation on a RoPax ship was studied using different active methods to improve ship safety in damage cases leading to a hull breach and flooding. Adding active flooding...
In the past few decades, huge surges and waves generated during tsunami events have caused devastating destruction to both onshore and offshore infrastructures, seriously threatening the safety and intactness of coastal communities around the world....
The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle’s body attitude has a great influence on some specific underwater tasks, such as topographic prospecting, target detection, etc. Therefore, this paper investigates an improved integral sliding mode control (IIS...
The current study focuses on the impact loading phase characteristic of thin first year ice in inland waterways. We investigate metal grillages, fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) composites and nature-inspired composites using LS Dyna. The impact mode i...
Although Northern Europe has been the target area in many regionwide geoid determination studies, the research has been land-focused, neglecting bathymetry information. With new projects, such as the Baltic Sea Chart Datum 2000, the attention is shif...
Antifoulant paints were developed to prevent and reduce biofouling on surfaces immersed in seawater. The widespread use of these substances over the years has led to a significant increase of their presence in the marine environment. These compounds...
For a typical pipeline-lifting deep-sea mining system, marine mining pipelines have higher requirements for steel welding. After the pipeline steel is welded, a large amount of residual stress will be generated inside the component because the heat t...
Increasing levels of greenhouse gases lead to ocean warming, which affects a range of marine organisms. Corals live in a narrow temperature range and become stressed when the temperatures change. Bleaching occurs when the temperature exceeds the cora...
Nautical wireless ad hoc networks are becoming increasingly popular in oceans due to their easy deployment and self-curing capability. They may alternate frequently between connected mobile ad hoc networks and partitioned opportunistic networks due t...
