Using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for mapping underwater topography of sea-ice and icebergs, or detecting keels of ice ridges, is foreseen as enabling technology in future Arctic marine operations. Wind, current, ...

Fronts between Arctic- and Atlantic-origin waters are characterized by strong lateral gradients in temperature and salinity. Ocean processes associated with fronts are complex with considerable space and time variability. ...

This thesis considers autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in Arctic marine operations. It focuses on their use as a sensor platform in ice monitoring operations and the use of AUVs for Arctic marine research. Arctic AUV ...

In search of increased wealth and public prosperity, the oil industry have met new challenges in their quest for black gold. These challenges have driven Statoil's expertise to develop a compact subsea separation unit. The ...

The light regime is an ecologically important factor in pelagic habitats, influencing a range of biological processes. However, the availability and importance of light to these processes in high Arctic zooplankton communities ...

This thesis reviews the complete design of a control system on a marine surface vessel, capable of autonomous exploration in small-scale marine environments. This involves the development of strategies for map exploration, ...

Information and communication technology, autonomy, and miniaturization in terms of, for example, microelectromechanical systems are enabling technologies with significant impact on the development of sensors, sensor-carrying ...

Autonomous underwater vehicles can perform seabed surveys with a higher resolution and quality than from equivalent ship-mounted sensors. Although high-grade inertial navigation systems aided by Doppler velocity logs can ...
