The seafloor covers some 70% of the Earth's surface and has been recognised as a major
sink for marine litter. Still, litter on the seafloor is the least investigated fraction of marine …

This paper outlines the specifications and basic design approach taken on the development
of the Girona 500, an autonomous underwater vehicle whose most remarkable characteristic …

The Tethys autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is a 110 kg vehicle designed for long-
range, high-endurance operations. Performance goals include supporting a payload power …

This chapter describes the practical challenges of docking autonomous underwater vehicles
(AUV s) in the ocean environment and approaches undertaken to create working docking …

Coastal marine ecosystems are profoundly influenced by processes that originate from their
boundaries. These include fluid boundaries—with the atmosphere, oceanic boundary …

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ship Gordon Gunter Cruise GU‐10‐02 (27 May–4 …

The high cost associated with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) capable of
operating beyond the mesopelagic ocean zone has prevented the extensive study of the …

In this thesis we use nonlinear systems analysis to study dynamics and design control
solutions for vehicles subject to hydrodynamic or aerodynamic forcing. Application of energy …
