Robots are already very useful in oceanography. Very recently, a robot was able to discover a hidden portion of a glacier and give a new, more precise estimate of its volume. Essential information for managing and protecting glaciers.
More and more robots are being used in oceanography. Read this article to find out more about their uses and why they are becoming more and more numerous.
The National Science Foundation has announced that it will withdraw its JOIDES Resolution rather than extend its operations until 2028, as many researchers had hoped. This vessel had revolutionized the science of the science of ocean drilling.
Last year, a Japanese ferry became the first large ship to sail without human intervention. Autonomy is taking hold, but many constraints (physical, political, economic) remain.
This article presents the creation of a robot bio-inspired by squid, capable of moving by magnetic propulsion. This locomotion system could be adapted to many robots in the near future.
A fourth version of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean, essential for studying global climate, was published on Thursday, July 9, 2020. Ultimately, the aim is to extend the project to all as yet unexplored seabeds.

This article introduces Mary Sears, the little-known chief naval oceanographer for the USA during the Second World War. She led a predominantly female research team that played a crucial role in American operations (1940s).
80 years after sinking off the coast of Belgium, a German ship continues to discharge pollutants into the water. Microbial populations have been altered and the local the local ecosystem.
Fishing boats from Spain, China, Taiwan and the USA tend to mask their position when sailing. This poses obvious tracking problems and hinders the fight against illegal fishing.
