Here is an update on some of the discoveries made by CCOM research professor Jen Miksis-Olds and her team about ocean noise levels during the pandemic.

Here is an update on some of the discoveries made by CCOM research professor Jen Miksis-Olds and her team about ocean noise levels during the pandemic.

CCOM research associate professor Larry Ward, and research assistant Rachel Morrison are co-authors of a paper that examines how the contribution of beach profiling data collected by citizen scientists can lead to increased coastal resilience and informed management decisions in the future.

CCOM Research Associate Professor Jenn Djikstra explains how an invasive red seaweed is killing off the kelp forests in New England's coastal waters.

The Aleutians Uncrewed Ocean Exploration expedition, a public-private partnership facilitated and led by the NOAA OECI, is collecting ocean mapping and environmental data in unexplored waters around the Aleutian Islands with the innovative Saildrone Surveyor—the world’s largest and most advanced uncrewed surface vessel for ocean exploration. CCOM, along with Saildrone Inc. and NOAA Ocean Exploration staff, will manage at-sea operations. All work conducted will contribute to the Seascape Alaska regional mapping campaign.

While E/V Nautilus scanned the deep ocean, an uncrewed surface vessel DriX mapped near shore waters during a recent expedition focused on the southwestern area of Papahānaumokuākea near Nihoa Island.

Twelve scientists and students at the University of New Hampshire are aboard the Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus as part of a 23-day seafloor mapping expedition in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

CCOM-supplied sensor helps MIT researchers study diminishing sea ice in the Arctic.

As the OECI Technology Integration expedition wraps up testing of robotic vehicles for ocean exploration, Larry Mayer explains how uncrewed vessels can be more effective than traditional mapping methods.

CCOM, a member of the Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute (OECI), has taken delivery of an iXblue DriX uncrewed surface vehicle (USV). The autonomous solution will help expand the footprint and efficiency of the OECI’s ocean exploration operations. The USV was funded by NOAA Ocean Exploration.
