Studies of acoustic propagation in seagrass meadow environments have demonstrated a high degree of sensitivity of passive and active acoustics to diurnal photosynthetic cycles and seasonal growth patterns. While empirical metrics based on these measurements in combination with traditional ecological … Continue reading →

Oxygen ebullition is typically ignored in long-term measurements of net ecosystem productivity (NEP), which reflects whether systems are net heterotrophic or autotrophic based on diel changes in oxygen. The solubility of oxygen in seawater is a function of temperature, salinity, … Continue reading →

Read our recent paper, Ballard et al. (2024) that details the usage of acoustics to monitor seagrass meadows!

Kyle Capistrant-Fossa and Ken Dunton recently wrote a manuscript linking the decline of seagrasses in Upper Laguna Madre to rapid sea level rise. It is currently under review, but if you want to get an early sneak peek, you can … Continue reading →

NatureServe, in partnership with USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, The Nature Conservancy, University of Texas, Austin, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the Ocean Conservancy, has just published a recommended set of indicators to assess ecological resilience for … Continue reading →
