PROJECTS

Species distribution modeling

 

Liquid Geomatics is involved in a range of projects to map the geographical distribution of species. With external partners across the North Pacific region, we are developing maps of deep-sea benthic fauna such as cold-water corals and sponges for the North Pacific, and in collaboration with Brazilian and Swedish researchers we are developing regional maps of coral reef fishes in tropical nearshore environments.


Satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) in the Arctic

 

Information on water depth is essential for maritime navigation and coastal infrastructure projects, yet water depth remains unknown in most of the Canadian Arctic. Liquid Geomatics is developing innovative hybrid approaches to mapping water depth from satellite imagery, with the goal of enabling hydrographic services across the Arctic region to increase their use of satellite data.


Long-term kelp mapping and monitoring

 

Liquid Geomatics is using the historical archive of satellite imagery from Landsat 4-8 as well as newer Sentinel 2 imagery to map long-term changes in kelp distribution along the US and Canadian Pacific coast. Kelp is a keystone species that creates habitat for numerous other species. Insight into the long-term spatial dynamics of kelp will improve our understanding of how both climate change and direct human impacts are likely to shape Pacific coastal ecosystems in the coming decades.
