Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs are cutting-edge oceanography tools that are equipped with sensors and cameras to collect data on ocean temperature, salinity, currents, and marine life. They can operate at great depths and for extended periods, providing valuable insights into the ocean environment.
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
ROVs are advanced tools that are controlled by operators on the surface to explore the ocean depths. They are equipped with manipulator arms, cameras, and sensors to study deep-sea ecosystems, hydrothermal vents, and underwater geological features.
Satellite Remote Sensing
Satellite remote sensing technology allows researchers to monitor ocean surface temperature, sea level changes, and ocean color, providing valuable data for climate studies, marine ecology, and ocean circulation patterns.
High-resolution Seafloor Mapping
High-resolution seafloor mapping tools, such as multibeam echosounders and sub-bottom profilers, enable researchers to create detailed maps of the ocean floor, revealing underwater topography, geological structures, and potential mineral resources.
