Seabed 2030’s Post

How do scientists study the deep sea? There are so many different ways! On my most recent expedition with National Geographic Society's Pristine Seas, scientists used deep sea cameras developed by the NatGeo Technology Team to see what deep sea animals live in the waters off Palau. The cameras stay on the bottom of the ocean for 14 hours, taking video of the animals that come by, then float to the surface at a designated time. The scientists then go out to retrieve the cameras and their data. Super cool! #nationaloceanmonth #oceanexploration #deepsea

Thanks so our ever-advancing technology, were are now able to explore more and more of the deep oceans, and scientists are discovering more and more about sharks that live in the deep seas. Submersibles and unmanned rovers can be used to capture images of these amazing animals, like this bluntnose sixgill (Hexanchus griseus), photographed at almost 560 metres down. But sharks can be found much, much deeper than this! For example, goblin sharks (Mitsukurina owstoni) has been found at the dizzying depths of 1,300 metres! The false catshark (Pseudotriakis microdon) has been recorded in depths up to 1,400 metres. The frilled shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus) has been found at 1,570 metres. Scientists suspect that sharks can be found as far down as 3,000 metres. That is 3 km underwater! Amazing!

A short (10min) video from under the Arctic sea ice. This was part of fieldwork in 2022, helping a team of oceanographers position an instrument to collect tiny ocean / ice interactions right at the boundary of water and ice. Because we're flying by dead reckoning and can't just surface, ROV piloting under ice needs a team! Great cable management, great communication between pilot, cable manager, researchers - and a good amont of patience. It's an interesting view under the Arctic ice - what you see here is a result of local melting. The ocean temperature at this spot isn't cold enough to make new ice, so this ice is on its way to becoming liquid ocean again. There are ice ridges around, for this work we were happy to have a flat bottom. It is easy to get lost! Fieldwork was funded by the Norwegian Arven Etter Nansen (Nansen's Legacy) project, RCN 276730. Video post production was done on my own time, so this awesome little part of Nansen's Legacy gets some love. Edited in Blender, published in the Fediverse. *updated to fix typos and add a sountrack. #arctic #seaIce #oceanography #ROV #FOSS4PolarResearch #NansenLegacy https://lnkd.in/g3jvyUMJ

Glider Surveys Baltic: Locating Eddies From Above Early morning aerial exploration grants researchers an advantage in locating eddies on the Baltic surface.

From underwater archaeology to environmental monitoring, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) play a vital role in ocean research. 🕹️ Discover how these incredible machines are revolutionizing marine science and subsea inspections: https://lnkd.in/e2swKQYr 📷: WaterWerks Agency #rovcamera #subseacamera #deepseacamera #marinescience #marineresearch #oceantech #offshoreenergy #rovinspection #subseasurvey #subseasystem #offshoreinspection #remoteinspection #remoteoperations #rovinspection

It seems like you're interested in a combination of object detection using YOLO (You Only Look Once) and possibly something related to the ocean. YOLO is a popular real-time object detection system known for its speed and accuracy. If you're looking to detect objects in underwater scenes or related to marine environments, you might need a dataset specifically annotated for such scenarios. Training YOLO on such data could allow you to identify and locate objects like fish, coral reefs, or underwater structures efficiently. Is there something specific you'd like to know or discuss about YOLO and ocean-related object detection #aimers #aimersociety #APSCHE #yolo #yolodetection #yoloobjectdetection

Two new #callsfortender open now! 🌊 1️⃣ 👉#CapacityDevelopment activities within the framework of the WEkEO & Copernicus Marine Services ➡️ https://bit.ly/48WUwgV Through the organisation of specific events, the aim of these activities is to raise awareness among potential new users of the use of data from the various services offered by #MercatorOcean as part of Copernicus Marine and WEkEO services. 2️⃣ 👉Copernicus Marine #VisualizationTools for drift (plastic and turtles) simulations ➡️https://bit.ly/3usPCce Its objective is the development of two web map viewers, allowing the display of locations and gridded data on the ocean, over space and time. One tool will concern the display of turtle dispersal, the other the display of plastic drift.

🌊 Exploring the Ocean’s Hidden Landscape: An Introduction to Bathymetry 🌊 I’m excited to share my first article titled "The Hidden Landscape: Bathymetry and Its Role in Ocean Exploration." It’s a brief introduction to the fascinating world of bathymetry, written to be accessible for everyone—even if you’re new to the field! In the article, I dive into how underwater mapping helps us understand our oceans and why it’s crucial for everything from environmental research to marine engineering. Take a look and feel free to share your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/dT3Q-vTX #Bathymetry #OceanExploration #MarineScience #DarkOcean

What's a great discovery? Learning that one of your key member companies is collaborating on a brilliant project with another brilliant company! Last week, our Executive Director, Matt Classen, was at the AUVSI — Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International XPONENTIAL show in San Diego. He discovered that TMA member company, ThayerMahan, Inc. was conducting an in-water demo during the conference and transmitting the data live at the show itself! Even better was that this demo was in collaboration with OCIUS Technology Limited, which features the beautiful Bluebottle USV vessel (featured in the image below). If you'd like more details about the value this collaboration brings to the maritime defense space, click the following link. Mike Varney with ThayerMahan will explain exactly how! https://lnkd.in/dsKJ2jzH #maritimedefense #maritimesecurity #maritimedecarbonization #maritimeAI #bluetech #blueeconomy #bluejobs #sustainable #sustainabletechnologies #environment #climate #internationaltrade #internationalexports #fisheries #AI #aquaculture #satellitepplications #oceanmapping #ghostnet #maritimedata #oceandata #climatescience #shipping #cleanshipping Kevin Lopes Richard Hine Nick Rozenauers Ian Milliner
