Assessing the use of harmonized multisource backscatter data for thematic benthic habitat mapping

Legacy seabed mapping datasets are increasingly common as the need for detailed seabed information is recognized. Acoustic backscatter data from multibeam echosounders can be a useful surrogate for seabed properties and are commonly used for benthic habitat mapping. Legacy backscatter data, however,...
