Prediction of steady states in a marine ecosystem model by a machine learning technique
We used precomputed steady states obtained by a spin-up for a global marine ecosystem model as training data to build a mapping from the small number of biogeochemical model parameters onto the three-dimensional converged steady annual cycle. The mapping was performed by a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) with mass correction. Applied for test data, we show that the prediction obtained by the CVAE already gives a reasonable good approximation of the steady states obtained by a regular…

Underwater turbine spinning for 6 years off Scotland's coast is a breakthrough for tidal energy
Submerged in about 40 meters of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides and generate electricity.

Invariant Extended Kalman Filter for Autonomous Surface Vessels with Partial Orientation Measurements
Autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) are increasingly vital for marine science, offering robust platforms for underwater mapping and inspection. Accurate state estimation, particularly of vehicle pose, is paramount for precise seafloor mapping, as even small surface deviations can have significant consequences when sensing the seafloor below. To address this challenge, we propose an Invariant Extended Kalman Filter (InEKF) framework designed to integrate partial orientation measurements. While con…

Underwater noise pollution caused by anthropogenic activities, such as offshore wind farms, significantly affects marine life, hindering the intra- and inter-specific interactions of many aquatic species. A common strategy to mitigate these effects is to enclose the noise source within a physical barrier to achieve acceptable noise levels in the surrounding region. Underwater barriers typically achieve noise reduction through sound absorption based on locally resonant systems (e.g., foam and bu…

Even if 30% of the oceans were protected, most critical habitats would still be exposed to threats.

David Attenborough's 'Ocean' exposes the unseen destruction of the seas
The new film “Ocean With David Attenborough” is both a breathtaking celebration of marine life and a sobering exposé of the industrial forces pushing the ocean toward collapse. With never-before-seen footage from mass coral bleaching to the violent destruction of bottom trawling, it reveals the hidden toll of human activity beneath the waves. But it’s also a story of hope that spotlights thriving marine reserves and the power of protection. Timed to World Oceans Day and the U.N. Ocean Co…

AquaticVision: Benchmarking Visual SLAM in Underwater Environment with Events and Frames
Many underwater applications, such as offshore asset inspections, rely on visual inspection and detailed 3D reconstruction. Recent advancements in underwater visual SLAM systems for aquatic environments have garnered significant attention in marine robotics research. However, existing underwater visual SLAM datasets often lack groundtruth trajectory data, making it difficult to objectively compare the performance of different SLAM algorithms based solely on qualitative results or COLMAP reconst…

Digital-physical testbed for ship autonomy studies in the Marine Cybernetics Laboratory basin
The algorithms developed for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are often challenging to test on actual vessels due to high operational costs and safety considerations. Simulations offer a cost-effective alternative and eliminate risks, but they may not accurately represent real-world dynamics for the given tasks. Utilizing small-scale model ships and robotic vessels in conjunction with a laboratory basin provides an accessible testing environment for the early stages of validation proces…

Text-guided Generation of Efficient Personalized Inspection Plans
We propose a training-free, Vision-Language Model (VLM)-guided approach for efficiently generating trajectories to facilitate target inspection planning based on text descriptions. Unlike existing Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) methods designed for general agents in unknown environments, our approach specifically targets the efficient inspection of known scenes, with widespread applications in fields such as medical, marine, and civil engineering. Leveraging VLMs, our method first extract…

Samoa’s new marine spatial plan protects 30% of the country’s ocean
Samoa, an archipelagic country composed of nine islands in the South Pacific Ocean, is on the frontline of climate change. Rising sea levels, ocean warming and acidification all pose significant threats to the country’s coastal communities. To help protect its future, the Samoan government announced June 3 that it has enacted a law establishing a […]

As ocean acidification ramps up, experts call for speedy ocean protection
Ocean health is moving into a danger zone, with rampant human-caused carbon dioxide emissions having already pushed ocean acidification levels beyond safe limits in large swaths of the marine environment, according to a recent study. The new findings underline the urgent need to ramp up protection of the world’s oceans, while simultaneously slashing CO2 emissions, […]

Measuring and Minimizing Disturbance of Marine Animals to Underwater Vehicles
Do fish respond to the presence of underwater vehicles, potentially biasing our estimates about them? If so, are there strategies to measure and mitigate this response? This work provides a theoretical and practical framework towards bias-free estimation of animal behavior from underwater vehicle observations. We also provide preliminary results from the field in coral reef environments to address these questions.
