Summary

Abstract: In April 2004, more than 40 hours of georeferenced submarine digital video was
collected in water depths of 15-370 m in Glacier Bay to (1) ground-truth
existing geophysical data (bathymetry and acoustic reflectance), (2) examine

relation between substrate types and benthic communities, and (4) construct
predictive maps ...
