New Robots Will Help Fill in Gaps and Enhance Ocean Knowledge
Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have been awarded a total of nearly $2.5 million to develop a new breed of ocean-probing instruments and design and develop the systems necessary to control the movement of those autonomous underwater explorers (AUEs). These “Miniature Robotic Ocean Explorers” are intended to plug gaps of knowledge about key ocean processes and trace fine details of fundamental oceanographic mechanisms that are vital to tiny marine inhabitants.
Latest WHOI Deep-Sea Vehicle Has Newest Technologies
The development of a new type of deep-sea vehicle sporting unique technologies and innovative methods made it possible to routinely reach the bottom of the ocean.
ROV Jason Discovers New Deep-Water Species in Tasman Fracture Zone
Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) announced last week that a four-week expedition to explore the deep ocean southwest of Tasmania has revealed new species of animals and more evidence of impacts of increasing carbon dioxide on deep-sea corals. The collaborative voyage of U.S. and Australian researchers was led by chief scientists Dr. Jess [...]
