Although they are spread out around the world, a group of our Nippon Foundation/GEBCO alumni participated remotely in a mapping expedition off the coast of the UK using the USV Maxlimer.

An international team of scientists, led by Martin Jakobsson and Larry Mayer, has published the most detailed submarine map of the Arctic Ocean yet — the 4.0 version of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO).

At this year's annual review, researchers described their work, Coast Survey presented on a numbe of topics, and participants discussed research priorities for the coming years. The virtual format allowed for participation by many individuals who would not normally be able to attend in person.

Larry Mayer is quoted on the use of underwater drones to map and characterize the seafloor.

Jenn Dijkstra and Chris Parrish weigh in on how NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite could be used to map shallow waters and monitor the health of coral reefs.

CCOM researchers, led by Jenn Dijkstra, have discovered that when it comes to climate change not all deep-sea corals and sponges are affected the same and some could be threatened if average ocean temperatures continue to increase in the deep sea of the Northwest Atlantic.

CCOM Director Larry Mayer and VisLab Director Colin Ware are among the 41 current and emeritus UNH researchers who made the list of the 100,000 most cited researchers in the world, as determined by a study out of Stanford.

CCOM Director Larry Mayer has been selected as the first recipient of the Walter Munk Medal. Established in 2019, the Walter Munk Medal is awarded biennially by The Oceanography Society to an individual ocean scientist for extraordinary accomplishments and novel insights in the area of physical oceanography, ocean acoustics, or marine geophysics.

CCOM researchers have been awarded a three-year grant from NOAA in partnership with Saildrone, Inc. of Alameda, CA, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) to develop data quality tools for a new unmanned wind-powered sailboat-like vehicle capable of long-duration missions to collect vital ocean mapping information.

CCOM has been awarded a three-year grant from the NOAA's OER in partnership with Saildrone, Inc. of Alameda, CA, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) to develop data quality tools for a new unmanned wind-powered sailboat-like vehicle capable of long-duration missions to collect vital ocean mapping information.

The highbay at CCOM houses an augmented reality sandbox, fitted with an Xbox Kinect, which is used to demonstrate topography in real time.
