Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been focused on by research
efforts because of their extensive applications in scientific, commercial as well as military …

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

Mesobot, an autonomous underwater vehicle, addresses specific unmet needs for observing
and sampling a variety of phenomena in the ocean's midwaters. The midwater hosts a vast …

Autonomous platforms already make observations over a wide range of temporal and spatial
scales, measuring salinity, temperature, nitrate, pressure, oxygen, biomass, and many other …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) can be used to identify macroorganisms and describe
biodiversity, and thus has promise to supplement biological monitoring in marine …

The collection of environmental DNA (eDNA) samples is often laborious, costly, and
logistically difficult to accomplish at high frequency in remote locations and over large …

Autosub Long Range 6000 is a 6000-m-rated autonomous underwater vehicle capable of 2-
to 3-month-long deployments covering a range of up to 1800 km. This high endurance is …

Roughly 25 years ago,“ecogenomic sensors” were conceived of as autonomous devices
that would be used to apply molecular analytical techniques below the sea surface as one …

This paper proposes a bio-inspired hull shape (BHS) for AUV by studying and modeling the
body shape of humpback whales. Among factors affecting hydrodynamic characteristics, this …

The deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) layer is an ecologically important feature of the open
ocean. The DCM cannot be observed using aerial or satellite remote sensing; thus, in situ …
