All Hands on Deck: ROVs and AUVs Aid Search for Franklin
and his team applied AUV technology to the search for Franklin’s ships. While the team had somewhat mixed results, this reflects not on the technology itself but on the challenging environment in the North. As such, the discovery of the shipwrecks came about through the marriage of marine survey technologies and painstaking research into Inuit accounts since the 19th century as to what they saw befall the Franklin Expedition all those years ago. “While the capabilities of the technology were successfully trialed, the environmental conditions severely restricted its deployment ultimately
Virtual Reality Reveals Underwater Vents
resolution 3D models of vent groups that can be used as an environmental map at unprecedented resolution. Simultaneously, the team was also able to characterize the geological, biological and hydrochemical features of the Niua site. To better protect deep-sea hydrothermal systems, new survey technologies are needed that will allow quantifiable and high-resolution monitoring for investigations of these remote environments. Huge changes for the ecosystems and geography of seafloor hydrothermal vent systems could be in the very near future. However, if these areas are not explored, investigated
Fugro Expands Survey Services and Satellite Imagery Capabilities
informs it has extended its integrated survey services through an agreement with global specialist EOMAP that enables the creation of integrated bathymetric survey products that comprise elements from Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB), Airborne LiDAR Bathymetry (ALB) and traditional acoustic survey technologies. “Teaming with EOMAP augments our considerable survey and satellite imagery capabilities and will allow a timely and cost-effective nearshore bathymetry review facility for clients whose own bathymetric holdings are either very old or very sparse - or both,” said Don Ventura
