VehiclesHuman-occupied, remotely operated, and autonomous underwater vehicles have all proven their usefulness in helping scientists access the depths to study the fate and effects of oil in the marine environment.
Measuring & AnalysisSpecialized and high-sensitivity instruments allow researchers in the lab or in the field to examine the details of how oil affects the marine environment and how it changes over time.
Sampling & CollectingBringing samples back from the deep ocean or back from the field to the lab often requires a diverse mix of instruments with multiple capabilities.
ImagingA wide range of imaging technologies are being used in tools that can bring back visual data of organisms and places in the ocean affected by oil. Last updated: July 28, 2014 | |||||||||||
