“…Spatial tools for systematic conservation planning that assist in prioritising places for conservation action have been ecologically re fined with principles from landscape ecology (Beger et al 2010, Oleson et al 2018). Development of pattern-oriented adaptations of incisive systems approaches, such as causal chain analysis (Qiu et al 2018) and the Drivers− Pressures−State Change− Impact−Response frame work (Matta & Serra 2016), could facilitate the integration of seascape patterns into holistic ecosystem assessments (Dreujou et al 2020). Although rarely identified in seascapes, spatial leverage points where a small shift in spatial configuration can produce large and sometimes abrupt changes, could provide an effective tool for prioritising actions for mitigation of human impacts and predicting spatial resilience.…”

Seascape ecology, the marine-centric counterpart to landscape ecology, is rapidly emerging as an interdisciplinary and spatially explicit ecological science with relevance to marine management, biodiversity conservation, and restoration. While important progress in this field has been made in the past decade, there has been no coherent prioritisation of key research questions to help set the future research agenda for seascape ecology. We used a 2-stage modified Delphi method to solicit applied research questions from academic experts in seascape ecology and then asked respondents to identify priority questions across 9 interrelated research themes using 2 rounds of selection. We also invited senior management/conservation practitioners to prioritise the same research questions. Analyses highlighted congruence and discrepancies in perceived priorities for applied research. Themes related to both ecological concepts and management practice, and those identified as priorities include seascape change, seascape connectivity, spatial and temporal scale, ecosystem-based management, and emerging technologies and metrics. Highest-priority questions (upper tercile) received 50% agreement between respondent groups, and lowest priorities (lower tercile) received 58% agreement. Across all 3 priority tiers, 36 of the 55 questions were within a ±10% band of agreement. We present the most important applied research questions as determined by the proportion of votes received. For each theme, we provide a synthesis of the research challenges and the potential role of seascape ecology. These priority questions and themes serve as a roadmap for advancing applied seascape ecology during, and beyond, the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).

“…Future landslide hazard studies require the use of multiscale and multitemporal spatially referenced data from a wide variety of sources that are shared through web‐based platforms (Hou, Lu, Wu, Xue, & Li, ). Computer‐aided territorial planning and accessibility to geographic data might support the development of breakthrough ideas in spatial planning and related decision‐making processes (Matta & Serra, ).…”

“…Gathering spatial data across different spatial and temporal scales through a user‐friendly interface would help planners address the complexity of planning procedures. The current techniques for automating the progress of data collection promise to eliminate the labour‐intensive tasks associated with manual data collection (Golparvar‐Fard et al, ; Matta & Serra, ).…”

The application of civic technologies in a field survey of landslides

et al. 2018

Slope failures are financially devastating natural hazards that contribute to land degradation in many areas throughout the world. The adaptation of civic technologies (Google Tango) in a field survey of landslides was examined. Data acquired from different resources and processed using different technologies were merged into a single model to concurrently demonstrate the interoperability and scalability of these data and the model quality. Reference control points were established using a survey‐grade Topcon Hiper SK global navigation satellite system receiver and a Topcon GPT 9003 M total station. An aerial survey was performed in an area of approximately 30,000 m2 using airborne laser scanning (9 points/m2) and aerial photogrammetry using a remotely piloted aircraft system (500 points/m2). The models suffered from data gaps in less visible areas, and micro‐scale landforms reflecting landslide activity were poorly visible. The missing details were supplied using data obtained from close‐range photogrammetry (9,132 m2; 92,300 points/m2) and a Lenovo Phab 2 Pro running Google Tango, which acquired detailed point clouds in near real‐time conditions (1,847 m2; 109,000 points/m2). Scans using the phablet provided point clouds with homogeneously dispersed data gaps, but the spatial accuracy was lower. However, the ergonomics of its field use and its low cost made it competitive with other technologies. The results confirmed that models based on point clouds acquired using different technologies allow the identification and measurement of micro‐scale landforms that may indicate landslide activity.
