Guidance for NSF on National Ocean Research Priorities
societal benefits derived from the sea, yet much of the ocean remains unexplored and poorly understood. Better understanding of the role of the oceans in earth system dynamics is also greatly needed. The National Science Foundation is the principal federal agency that funds basic research in the ocean sciences at academic institutions throughout the U.S. Our increasing knowledge of the oceans has been supported by the advent of new technologies and facilities that enable new frontiers to be explored. The operational cost of these new forms of infrastructure and the rising costs associated with existing

Plankton Collection Technology Installed on AAL Melbourne
AAL working with Sir Alister Hardy Foundation For Ocean Science (SAHFOS) to collect data on marine plankton in the Pacific. AAL is supporting the oceanic research work of the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) through the installation and carriage of a Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) onboard one of its vessels. The AAL Melbourne will tow one of SAHFOS’s CPR devices during its voyages through the Pacific, enabling SAHFOS to collect data on plankton populations in these waters. The results will contribute to SAHFOS’s CPR Survey, which is one of the longest

These capabilities will be crucial when systems are working with and around subsea oil and gas systems, which is expected to be one of the main areas where autonomous systems are required, along with ocean science, says Sørensen. For whatever the purpose, be it oil and gas exploration, renewables or aquaculture development, shipping or ocean science, the range and capability of subsea equipment and ancillary and support systems is expanding by the day, aided by developments in ICT, nanotechnology
