🌊 Exciting News! 🌊 From July 8th to 19th, Rui Prieto was honoured to be a guest speaker at the Marine Robotics Summer School, engaging with 26 talented MIT Portugal Program and Portuguese university students. These bright minds share a passion for marine robotics, oceanography, ocean observation, marine biology, ecology, and ecosystem mapping. Rui shared his insights on technological approaches to studying and protecting whales, dolphins, and their habitats. One of the key case studies highlighted was the development of solutions for reducing ship strike risk as part of the OCEAN project. This includes: 🌊Development of Passive Acoustic Monitoring solutions by our partner Teledyne RESON Technologies Incorporated. 🌊Our partner Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya automated the detection of whales and containers in satellite images.

What’s new in the Southern Ocean? 🚀 Instruments on Racing Yachts to help scientists increase ocean observation as part of the new Horizon Europe funded project TRICUSO! Kicking off today in Southampton, UK. 🏝️ TRICUSO will develop technology and methods to address the Carbon Sink Status of the Southern Ocean in support of the WMO Global Greenhouse Gas Watch by combining the efforts of three Research Infrastructures (ICOS, EMBRC, Euro-Argo), and GOOS within GO-SHIP, citizen science organisations and leading research institutes around Europe. ⛴️ TRICUSO’s key quests involve: 🚣♀️ Engaging with Citizen Science organisations and European SMEs through co-development and evaluation of technologies for ocean carbon observation and improve existing sensors for integration on floats, autonomous surface vessels and racing yachts! 🔬 Determining how systematic, whole ocean, ocean biological observations, key to the understanding of ocean carbon cycling, can be supported within the EU Research Infrastructure landscape 🚣♀️ Building on the ICOS experience and support the initiation of an international surface ocean pCO2 observing network that integrates pCO2 observing efforts across multiple platforms 👨🔬Training ERIC members and others undertaking marine observations, in best practices for autonomous carbon observations and data handling enhancing the quality of generated data products 🚣♀️ Determining how the different Research Infrastructures and GOOS networks can deliver the optimal surface ocean pCO2 observing system, and quantify the added value of the new observing platforms! Follow us and stay tuned for more information!

Take a peek #InsideANTENNA to see how the project is impacting pollinator research! 💡 This week WP1 and WP2 are in the spotlight. ⬇️ WP1: Co-design and technology readiness level advancement is led by Aarhus University. They will focus on identifying stakeholder needs, improving automated pollinator sorting and classification, and developing pollinator camera traps ready for use by citizen scientists. In WP2: Added value of novel technologies, led by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), the outcomes are to test the complementarity of novel and ‘traditional’ methods as well as the added value of low-flying drones to assess habitat quality, to quantify the benefits of novel methods relative to their economic costs and to refine innovative methods based on stakeholder feedback.

The ocean remains a vast and mysterious frontier, with a staggering 95% of its waters still unexplored, unmapped, and hidden from human sight. Despite our advances in technology and exploration, the majority of the ocean's depths and secrets remain undiscovered, leaving much to be uncovered and learned about our planet's largest ecosystem. New tools like Mesobots may help us discover more about the ocean. They can explore the mesopelagic region in the ocean waters and help us learn more about our planet's biggest ecosystem. #mesobot #discover #earthexplorer
Mesobot is specifically designed to study life in the ocean twilight zone. It can maneuver under its own power for more than 24 hours, using its cameras and lights to slowly follow and film animals as they swim through the water column. This hybrid underwater robot is also outfitted with a variety of sensors to collect oceanographic data– and even sample the water for traces of animal DNA. 📲 Get to know Mesobot: go.whoi.edu/otz-mesobot Mesobot is a collaborative effort by #WHOI, MBARI, Stanford University, and the The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Development and at-sea operations have been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and the The Audacious Project 📹 produced by Craig LaPlante © WHOI

Check out this video about the AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) Mesobot. I was able to help capture the footage of Mesobot and it was incredible learning about this robot. I think the twilight zone is such a fascinating area to study and thanks to the great scientists at WHOI we are learning more and more about it. #exploration #twilightzone #AUV #robotievehicle #oceanexploration #underwaterfilm #oceanographic #mesobot #WHOI

The Sentinel Mission has been unveiled by Teledyne Webb Research (Teledyne Marine) and Rutgers University in a display of academic and technological collaboration, further strengthened with the involvement of the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, the Marine Technology Society (MTS), and the UN Ocean Decade. 🌊 This unprecedented initiative marks the beginning of an ambitious journey as Teledyne’s Slocum Sentinel Glider, “Redwing” (Research & Education Doug Webb Inter-National Glider), prepares for a historic round-the-world flight. The announcement, which took place at an event at Rutgers University on April 23rd 2024, showcased the intricate planning and resilient partnership behind The Sentinel Mission. ⚓️ The Sentinel Mission’s anticipated launch in the summer of 2024 will contribute to our understanding of the oceans and serve as an inspiring testament to the power of academic-industry partnerships and the indomitable human spirit of discovery. 💡 The Redwing glider, embodying the intersection of Research and Education, pays homage to Doug Webb, a pioneer of autonomous underwater technology. The glider stands not only as an innovative piece of machinery but also as a symbol of global research unity and exploration. 🔗 Find out more >> https://hubs.la/Q02wk3wF0 Teledyne Marine staff members, Clayton Jones, Senior Director of Technology and Shea Quinn, Slocum Glider Product Line Manager, provided insight into the history of Slocum gliders and how this mission will affect the future of ocean science. 👏 Read more on the Ocean Science & Technology website. #ocean #subsea #automation #research #technology

Underwater Robot - Mesobot Specaily designed for the twilight zone -Hybrid - Both Tethered and can be operated autonomously to follow animals. Superb idea to observe animals without either frightening or attracting them - high-quality images, with different types of auxiliary devices. Mesobot carries a sampler that pumps seawater through filters to collect environmental DNA—or eDNA—traces of DNA that were left behind by animals recently in the area. These samples will help scientists understand what types of animals are living in the zone, even if they never actually see them. More such devices that can be operated by #Fishingboats -light weight with affordable price are needed to study oceans and to telecast live to enthuse kids and to bring awareness to the public #oceandecade #robot UNESCO Ocean Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution National Science Foundation (NSF) University Grants Commission (UGC) Muthalagu Ravichandran Ministry of Earth Sciences AICTE Ministry of Education EarthX Sidney (Sid) Thurston, Ph.D. OceanX Marine Technology Society (MTS) Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society René GARELLO Jay Pearlman Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

I invented this year an idea, how to greatly reduce interstellar travel times. I present this idea on Wednesday next week in the First European Interstellar Symposium at Luxembourg : https://lnkd.in/dq7k8YQi I have written a document, where the idea is described in more detail. I can send the document, if you are interested in examining it and giving feedback at this stage. Document hasn't yet received very detailed peer-review, but the mathematics are not very complicated. I'll share the document more widely/openly when the idea has received more thorough examination / peer-review.
