Upon completing the training, participants may voluntarily conduct reef monitoring activities while snorkeling, diving, or otherwise engaging with the ocean. Through the Eyes of the Reef program, they ...

Stromatoporoid sponges were major reef builders during the Paleozoic era, playing a foundational role in forming reef structures—much like modern corals do today. Their significance peaked from the ...

“Structures are continuously exposed to stresses, environmental factors and ageing; we can’t simply watch them deteriorate,” she says. “Regular inspections and monitoring are vital to keeping ...

Subsequent IP and geological studies have identified an 8 km-long antiform Saddle Reef structure. Geochemical studies suggest that this structure is the likely source of historical placer gold ...

The DFO has been monitoring domoic acid in B.C. since 2016, without any serious threats to marine mammals and seabirds. But this mass mortality event in California has them on alert. “Our marine ...

Accurate 3D object detection in point clouds is crucial for autonomous vehicles ... We present Trans-LGS, a Transformer-based local graph structure. It employs a Graph Neural Network (GNN) and ...

However, traditional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) strategies applied to such structures remain limited by high computational demands and reliance on dense sensor networks. Conventional ...

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

This extra tool can be used to monitor structures in a direct, continuous way, providing an important means of information and security for society." The joint research group of the Politecnico di ...
