FAIR-GNSS: Open data portal for European and Belgian GNSS reference station data collections, built upon FAIR guiding principles Ghent University
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS, e.g. GPS or Galileo) allow to measure positions on Earth’s surface. Permanently tracking GNSS reference stations installed throughout the world provide reliable points of reference for accurate positioning. The Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB/KSB/ORB) maintains unique repositories containing decades of GNSS observation data from Belgian stations as well as stationsbelonging to the European GNSS ...
What moves European sea bass? Understanding the drivers of spatiotemporal patterns in habitat use and migration of Dicentrarchus labrax in the southern North Sea in support of fisheries management. Ghent University
The poor state of the data-deficient European seabass in the southern North Sea calls for an informed fisheries management to protect the intertwined socio-economic and ecological stakes at risk. The highly mobile Dicentrarchus labrax is known to move from shallow, inshore feeding grounds in summer to deeper waters offshore in search of warmer temperatures in winter for spawning. Knowledge on these spatiotemporal changes in movement behaviour ...
GNSS, INS, Stereo Camera and LIDAR Sensor Fusion and Perception for Autonomous Inland Waterway Navigation KU Leuven
Due to the movement towards greener industries and lower operating costs there is renewed interest in transporting goods using inland waterways. However, labour expenditures currently make up about 30% of operational costs. Making the ships autonomous would therefore significantly reduce costs. However, autonomous inland waterway navigation requires very accurate localisation, due to the confined spaces of inland waterways. A common solution ...
Population dynamics of sea bass in the Belgian part of the North Sea - Part 2 Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
How big is the sea bass population in the Belgian Part of the North Sea? What migration pattern does sea bass exhibit? What is the composition (age distribution and age/length relation) of this population? What is the carrying capacity of the North Sea area for sea bass? Project "Zeebaars2", a continuation of an earlier project, collects biological data and uses tagging of individual fish to ...
