Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs are unmanned, self-propelled vehicles that can be pre-programmed to collect data on marine ecosystems. They are equipped with sensors and cameras to capture information on water temperature, salinity, and marine life.
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
ROVs are tethered underwater robots controlled by operators on the surface. They are used to explore deep-sea environments and can collect samples, conduct surveys, and capture high-definition video footage of marine ecosystems.
Satellite Remote Sensing
Satellites equipped with sensors can monitor ocean surface temperatures, chlorophyll concentrations, and sea surface height. This data helps scientists track changes in marine ecosystems and identify areas of interest for further study.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs)
ADCPs use sound waves to measure ocean currents and water column properties. They are valuable for studying the movement of marine organisms, tracking nutrient transport, and understanding the dynamics of marine ecosystems.
