Fleet of robots maps ocean fronts
The robots will help us to understand and monitor how key issues such as climate change, ocean acidification, unsustainable fishing, pollution, waste, loss of habitats and biodiversity, shipping, security and mining are affecting global ocean sustainability and stewardship.
Using sound to detect undersea methane might help measure greenhouse gas
Scientists have successfully recorded the sound of methane bubbles from the seafloor, opening the door to using acoustics to identify and measure this important...
Transparent Eel-like Robot Swims Silently Underwater
The bot is a step toward a future when soft robots can swim in the ocean alongside fish and invertebrates without disturbing or harming them.
Underwater sensing with light and sound
Oceanic sensor networks that collect and transmit real-time data could transform our understanding of marine ecology and improve pollution and disaster management. A research...
Electric eel inspires new power source
Could the electric eel inspire a self-charging power source for implantable devices such as heart pacemakers, sensors, drug delivery pumps, or prosthetics?
The ongoing...
Seal whiskers inspire vortex sensor
Seals use their whiskers to sense food by tracking the vortices left by potential prey, for example by fish swimming.
The authors of a...
Sea urchins help scientists develop super-strong cement
A pillar made of this cement could be built 8000 metres high - and all because of the sea urchin blueprint.
Simple system to locate marine mammals
Researchers have developed an underwater acoustic system locate marine mammals, underwater vehicles and other sound sources in the ocean, using no more than a...
Marine sensors funding to help probe mysteries of the deep
Researchers at the University of Southampton have received funding to develop sensors capable of working in extreme ocean conditions.
The sensors that will result...
New low-cost device recovers underwater sensor-system moorings
Oceanographic research projects often deploy underwater sensor systems in the sea. These are retrieved from deep water by remotely releasing them from their moorings....
