Mapping Underwater Terrain with Autonomous Boats

Mapping Underwater Terrain with Autonomous Boats

Mapping Underwater Terrain with Autonomous Boats Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have constructed a fully autonomous boat that can carry out bathymetric surveys — surveys of the depth and terrain of bodies of water like oceans, rivers and lakes. The team hopes the robotic boat can help...

MIT invents a wireless, battery-free, underwater camera

MIT invents a wireless, battery-free, underwater camera Scientists estimate that more than 95 percent of Earth’s oceans have never been observed, which means we have seen less of our planet’s ocean than we have the far side of the moon or the surface of Mars. The high cost of powering an underwater came...

Measuring sediment plumes stirred up by Deep Sea Mining vehicles

Measuring sediment plumes stirred up by Deep Sea Mining vehicles What will be the impact to the ocean if humans are to mine the deep sea? It’s a question that’s gaining urgency as interest in marine minerals has grown. The ocean’s deep-sea bed is scattered with ancient, potato-sized rocks called “polyme...
