Description:
Innovative robotic technologies are a key to study
ocean processes in space and time. The work carried out during
the ROBEX-Demonstration Mission on RV Polarstern will test
the capability of new and innovative technologies, developed
during the HGF Alliance ROBEX, in deep-sea environments.
Investigations will include Arctic benthic and pelagic ecosystems
strongly influenced by climate change, such as marine arctic
sediments hosting gas hydrates and arctic deep-sea benthic
communities. Different robotic platforms, including 3 types of
crawler, glider, AUV, UAVs and senor systems (like Lab-on-a-
Chip and multi-O2-profiler) are described and mission scenarios
presented. The use of these new underwater technologies will
improve our capabilities to improve our knowledge on the effects
of climate change on the Arctic ecosystem and ocean observation.
