Rudy Kloser (CMAR) | Scientific Objectives As part of a national seabed mapping initiative map the upper-slope and mid-slope seabed focusing on the 200 m to 1500 m depth range and regions important for regional marine planning, biodiversity and conservation assessments and fisheries habitat mapping. Objectives for the transit voyages: 1. Using transit time, map key areas as identified in gap analysis. 2. Develop methods of improving data quality and calibrating the EM300 backscatter data. 3. Develop and test new rapid methods of ground truthing acoustic backscatter maps with optical and physical sampling. 4. Process bathymetry and backscatter data and create maps suitable for ecological interpretation. The objectives to be accomplished on this transit are to complete a swath survey line from Hobart to Sydney, predominately along the 400m contour, map and resample reference sites at 100, 200 and 400 m and deploy XBTs and the CTD in order to provide calibration data for the swath mapper. |
