Advancing Ocean Science with Autonomous Vehicles and Sensor Technologies

Session ID#: 259788

Session Description:
The advancement of autonomous vehicles and sensor technologies is transforming our ability to observe, understand, and model marine systems at unprecedented spatial and temporal scales and to make in situ, sustained measurements in environments from the coastal ocean to the hadal depths. This interdisciplinary session will highlight advances and emerging trends in (1) imaging, sensing, and sampling of biogeochemical, biological, geological, chemical, and physical parameters, and (2) robotic platforms (floats, AUVs, gliders, surface vehicles, hybrid systems, moorings, etc.). We welcome contributions of novel technologies, adaptive mission planning, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques to enhance autonomy, data interpretation, and decision-making in complex and dynamic marine environments. This session will bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners to exchange insights and foster collaborations. Case studies, field deployments, and innovative methodologies demonstrating the role of sensors or robotics in addressing the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development goals are encouraged. We welcome presentations on new technologies for climate monitoring, biogeochemical mapping, ecosystem assessment, exploration, and geohazards. By showcasing the current state and future directions of ocean sensing and robotics, this session will emphasize their roles in shaping a sustainable and data-rich future for ocean science.
