streaming video to allow scientists to participate in exploring the ocean worldwide.
What is telepresence
Technology used to collect information about water properties at specific depths.
What is CTD?
the type of waves used in SONAR mapping.
What are sound waves
The step in the engineering design process where you redesign as needed.
What is to improve, optimize or iterate.
The step in the Engineering Design process where you evaluate your prototype
What is test
The technology currently used to create high resolution maps of the seafloor.
What is Multibeam Sonar
The type of underwater robot that is attached to a ship by a fiber-optic cable. Usually capable of video streaming, biological and chemical sampling.
What is an ROV or Remotely Operated Vehicle.
The type of underwater robot that is designed to operate without relying on a physical connection to a ship. Usually capable of high resolution photography and mapping.
What is an AUV or Autonomous Underwater Vehicle.
The stage in the engineering design process where you list obstacles and constraints that need to be solved.
What is Defining the Problem or Identifying the Problem/Constraints.
A type of newly developed underwater robot that is designed to operate both autonomously and while connected to a ship through a fiber optic tether.
HROV or Nereid Under Ice
the earliest technology used in mapping the depth of the seafloor.
What is a Lead Line
The type of technology used to determine what areas of the seafloor might need further exploration, or to collect information about seafloor features.
What is Multi-Beam Sonar, Bathymetry or underwater mapping.
A job in underwater exploration maintaining and controlling ROV's used to explore the seafloor.
What is an ROV Engineer
A job in ocean exploration managing video feeds and cameras around the ship and controlling the zoom and focus of ROV cameras.
What is a Video Engineer
A job in ocean exploration tracking seafloor observations and samples collected.
What is a Marine Scientist
A job in marine exploration maintaining and operating the ship, and ensuring the safety of expedition members.
What is a Mariner
