Combining morphological and molecular data to study past foraminiferal communities from a temperate coastal sediment core

Mojtahid Meryem, Schweizer Magali, Le Moigne Damien, Grégoire Gwendoline, Murat Anne

This data is associated with a paper presenting the results of a dual approach for assessing fossil benthic foraminiferal communities using both traditional morphology-based analyses and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding. The main objectives are to test the feasibility of sedaDNA analysis to assess foraminiferal biodiversity in temperate shelf sediments off a major river system through time (Le Croisic), and to point out the similar [...]

The data of collision scenarios on sea with communication between captain’s bridges on vessels

The data consists of collision scenarios on sea. Inside the file there are recorded communication between captain's bridges for real situations on sea. The format consists of sentences in the natural language and its records written in the ontology. The main reason for set of data is to simulate collision situations on sea to propose models of autonomous or semiautonomous communication that will prevent such situations in the future, for enhancin [...]

Outputs from wave-resolving 2DV Lagrangian simulations of microplastic transport in a wave flume

Jalón-Rojas Isabel, Sous Damien, Marieu Vincent

As part of the PLASTICBEACH project (EC2CO), an advanced modeling framework combining the SWASH wave model and the TrackMPD Lagrangian transport model was employed. The framework was used to simulate laboratory experiments of microplastic transport dynamics conducted by Forsberg et al. (2020) in the CASH wind-wave flume (SeaTech–MIO), specifically under one of the two windless hydrodynamic scenarios. The aim was to validate the model's ability to [...]

Daily temperature measurements at Canary Islands Marine Aquaculture Facility (IEO-CSIC), 1992-1998

Jerez Salvador, Tel Elena, Cejas Juana, Sanz Pinilla Lucia, Redondo Fernando

The Oceanographic Centre of Canary Islands (IEO-CSIC) runs a Marine Aquaculture Facility from 1980. Since its establishment, it has been expanded and upgraded several times to adapt to latest advancements and research needs. As part of these reasearch and development activities carried out, daily measurements of water tank temperature are performed. This time series shows the annual variability as well as other signals. After verification, docume [...]

Aerial images collected by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in Hermitage, Réunion - 2023-12-01

Contini Matteo, Bonhommeau Sylvain, Barde Julien, Bernard Serge

This dataset was collected by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in Hermitage, Réunion - 2023-12-01. Underwater or aerial images collected by scientists or citizens can have a wide variety of use for science, management, or conservation. These images can be annotated and shared to train IA models which can in turn predict the objects on the images. We provide a set of tools (hardware and software) to collect marine data, predict species or habitat, and [...]

Monitoring marine areas along Italian coast

Barcellone Luigi, Fauro Alberto, Inches Federico, Inches Francesca, Manzella Giuseppe

The OceanHis SrL marine waters monitoring of the Italian Coast started in 2021 and was initiated to support the Blue Economy. The monitoring system is an IoT hardware-software integrated system called Blue Box (a real portable, small dimension, self-contained, autonomous laboratory) collecting, transmitting, visualizing in real time on web and mobile platforms multiparametric observations of the coastal sea environment. Installed on board of dif [...]

Nematode imaged with motorized binocular, laser scanning confocal microcope and lightsheet microscope.

Foulon Valentin, Malloci Marine, Zeppilli Daniela

Imaging methods have developed rapidly in recent decades, opening new opportunities for taxonomy and biodiversity studies of marine organisms. In particular, the microscopic size range, which used to be challenging to study due to time-consuming preparation and observation steps, now benefits from high throughput quantitative imaging methods and the development of fast high-resolution microscopy approaches. The dataset regroup raw images of three [...]

CTD data collected during the cruise TAlPro2022

Schroeder Katrin, Borghini Mireno, Falcieri Francesco

Repeat hydrography, as organized through the GO-SHIP network, is fundamental for detecting trends and variability also in the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean component of GO-SHIP is MedSHIP, and TAlPro is the western Mediterranean component. The TAlPro2022 cruise consisted of 26 full depth hydrographic stations crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea from north to south, then the Algero-Provencal Basin from south to north. Here the postcalibrated CTD da [...]

Exploring Ecosystem Impacts in Newfoundland and Labrador: Simulations with Harp Seal, Cod, and Capelin Across Three Historical Time Periods

Vajas Pablo, Eddy Tyler d

This repository documents the ecosystem role of harp seals on the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Shelf and Grand Banks, Canada, using the Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) ecosystem model approach. Ecosystem simulations were conducted for three distinct time periods (1985–1987, 2013–2015, and 2018–2020) across two regions: NL Shelf and Grand Banks. The first Ecopath model represents the combined NL Shelf and Grand Banks for 1985–1987 (published here: htt [...]

History of the sedimentary regimes of the Aquitaine margin (Bay of Biscay, France) at the outlet of its main tributaries during the last millennium: a mirror of the North Atlantic and European climates.

Eynaud Frédérique, Schmidt Sabine, Iratcabal Vincent, Dubosq Nicolas, Billy Isabelle

The location of two hemipelagic sequences, at the northern and southern edges of the Aquitaine shelf offers the possibility of obtaining a synoptic view of the southern Bay of Biscay oceanography, but also provides access to key contextual elements related to local and global forcing. These sequences were retrieved off the two main fluvial tributaries along the Aquitaine margin (southern Bay of Biscay) from the West Gironde mud patch and from the [...]
