Deep-Sea Habitats in the Mariana Islands I

One of the new pieces of technology we have onboard E/V Nautilus this year is Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's SV3 Model Block II WaveGlider. Purchased through Liquid Robotics, this cutting-edge surface vehicle can be deployed in conjunction with AUV Sentry: supervising its pre-programmed seafloor missions, receiving acoustic messages, and sending them over Iridium satellite to teams on the ship and/or on shore.
