Coral reefs are home to a variety of species, and their preservation is a popular study area;
however, monitoring them is a significant challenge, for which the use of robots offers a …

Underwater gliders are autonomous underwater vehicles that profile vertically by changing
their buoyancy and use wings to move horizontally. Gliders are useful for sustained …

In this work a new methodology is proposed to correct the thermal lag error in data from
unpumped CTD sensors installed on Slocum gliders. The advantage of the new approach is …

Coastal zones are highly dynamical systems affected by a variety of natural and
