Eureka! by Scott LaFee: RU OK?
|
It looks like a torpedo, but swims no faster than a jellyfish. It's
man-made, but apparently has a mind of its own. RU27, dubbed "The
Scarlet Knight," is an autonomous underwater vehicle built by engineers
at Rutgers University to cross the Atlantic on its own, all the while
gathering data on water density, temperature and salinity. read more >> |

A new set of ocean observing data that enhances the ability to track probable paths of victims and drifting survivor craft should improve search and rescue efforts along the U.S. coast. The data comes from the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®), part of a joint effort among NOAA, the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Department of Homeland Security. read more >> more more

Rutgers documenting Antarctic climate shift
|
A pair of New Jersey-built undersea probes and eight Rutgers University researchers are documenting a dramatic climate shift near the bottom of the world, where warming currents off west Antarctica are remaking the ocean ecosystem — and dealing a wild card for predictions of global sea level rise.
"It's the fastest-warming area on Earth," said Oscar Schofield, a professor at the Rutgers Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, who recently returned from weeks at sea off the Antarctic Peninsula. read more >> |

Rutgers University Launches Underwater Research Robot
|
It may look like a fancy model airplane, but this gliders flight path isn't in the air, it's underwater. "They're underwater robots that actually glide through the water," said David Aragon, a marine engineer with Rutgers University, "they're buoyancy driven, unlike a torpedo, which is driven by a prop." read more >> |

Shaped like a torpedo and designed to glide up and down through the ocean's depths using thermal power, a prototype underwater robot that can collect data for scientific research is undergoing testing in the deep waters off St. Thomas. If all goes well, scientists plan to deploy the thermal glider prototype for a trans-Atlantic "flight" in the coming days. read more >> |

glider was lost off the Azores at the end of October. read more >> |
