Advances in low-cost deep-sea technology and fiber optic distributed sensing
October 30, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Access to the deep ocean (>200m) is very challenging, and is typically achieved using physically large and logistically complex platforms such as industrial-class ROVs and manned submersibles and their associated support vessels. While incredibly capable, these technologies are very expensive to develop, operate and maintain. In this presentation, several new inventions and methodologies that dramatically reduce the cost of deep-sea technology development and operation will be reviewed. These technologies have been field-tested extensively and are also useful for educational purposes. In addition, recent progress in applying fiber optic distributed temperature sensing for deep-sea oceanographic observing will be presented.
