AUV SENTRY
A fully autonomous underwater vehicle capable of exploring the ocean down to 6,000 meters
Places where hydrocarbons naturally seep from the seafloor provide a way to study how oil spills in the ocean change over time. But scientists need vehicles like Sentry, Jason, or Alvin to get a close-up look.
