Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs are unmanned, untethered vehicles that can be programmed to collect data and samples at various depths and locations in the ocean. They are equipped with sensors and cameras for mapping and monitoring marine environments.
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
ROVs are tethered underwater robots controlled by operators on the surface. They are used for tasks such as deep-sea exploration, sample collection, and maintenance of underwater infrastructure.
Multi-beam Sonar Systems
Multi-beam sonar systems are used for high-resolution mapping of the seafloor and underwater structures. They provide detailed images and data for studying marine geology and habitats.
Gliders
Gliders are autonomous underwater vehicles that use changes in buoyancy to move through the water. They are equipped with sensors for measuring oceanographic parameters such as temperature, salinity, and currents.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs)
ADCPs are used to measure ocean currents by transmitting and receiving acoustic signals. They provide valuable data for understanding the movement of water masses in the ocean.
Seafloor Mapping and Imaging Systems
These systems use advanced technology such as side-scan sonar and sub-bottom profilers to create detailed maps and images of the seafloor, revealing geological features and potential habitats.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) Sampling Tools
eDNA sampling tools are used to collect genetic material from marine organisms in the water, providing insights into biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics.
Underwater Drones
Underwater drones are small, maneuverable vehicles equipped with cameras and sensors for conducting surveys and inspections in confined or hard-to-reach areas of the ocean.
Real-time Oceanographic Monitoring Systems
These systems use a network of sensors and buoys to continuously monitor ocean conditions, providing real-time data on parameters such as temperature, salinity, and nutrient levels.
Advanced Satellite Remote Sensing Technologies
Satellite remote sensing technologies enable the observation of large-scale ocean features and processes, including sea surface temperature, ocean color, and sea level changes.
