Deep Sea Survey and Mapping with the Teledyne Gavia SeaRaptor AUV
Deep Sea Survey and Mapping - The SEARAPTOR™ is a survey grade deep water autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) designed to operate at abyssal depths. A wide range of sensors allow the SeaRaptor™ to complete several types of missions including: broad area search with side-scan sonar, hydrographic survey with multibeam and sub bottom profiler, and high resolution inspection survey with camera and acoustic sonar. These surveys support a variety of applications, such as search and recovery, salvage, exploration, construction support, marine archaeology, and oceanography. The video shows the main system components and sensors as well as the launch and recovery system. General mapping and search and recovery applications are depicted.

Deep-sea surveys of proposed wind-farm site off the California coast
A fleet of floating wind turbines anchored in deep water off the California coast could boost the state’s production of clean energy. But for that vision to become reality, the seafloor in the area of the proposed wind farm must be stable enough for the turbine anchors and the cables that will carry the energy to shore. With his long career of studying the seafloor—including the specific location of this proposed wind farm—MBARI Geologist Charlie Paull is the perfect person to lead the study of the wind-farm seafloor site. MBARI conducted eight high-resolution autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) mapping surveys of the region in April 2018 to help establish how rapidly seafloor features form and identify the seafloor footprint of existing buried submarine cables. These surveys were follow...

Massive Deep-Sea Shark Checking Out Our Submarine
**EXTENDED EDIT NOW LIVE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8el3syekK0** In partnership with the Cape Eleuthera Institute (@ceibahamas), we managed to achieve history, tagging an animal from a submersible (submarine) for the first time EVER. Our objective was the deep-sea #shark, the bluntnose sixgill. This ancient species predates most dinosaurs, and is a dominant predator of the deep sea ecosystem. The lead scientist on the mission, FSU Marine Lab's Dr. Dean Grubbs, has been the first to put a satellite tag on one of these elusive sharks, but until now had only been able to do so by bringing them up to the surface.

Seeing Sur Ridge: Transforming deep-sea mapping data to reveal the majesty of an underwater oasis
WARNING: This video may potentially trigger photosensitivity reactions. Viewer discretion is advised. In 2013, after many years spent mapping Monterey Bay and its environs, MBARI and NOAA scientists discovered an underwater oasis—lush with corals and sponges—just 35 kilometers (22 miles) west of Big Sur. This rocky ridge, called Sur Ridge, stands over 500 meters (1640 feet) tall and stretches over 20 kilometers (12 miles) long—roughly the size of Manhattan. MBARI has been working diligently to create ever more detailed maps of Sur Ridge for more than twenty years to better understand its geologic processes—like underwater landslides—and to monitor the health of the marine life that calls it home—including the impacts of climate change. Data collected by MBARI’s mapping team has helped b...

Nekton Mission 1: XL Catlin Deep Ocean Survey: Results
Nekton Mission I - XL Catlin Deep Ocean Survey - is a major scientific marine research expedition to investigate ocean function, health, and resilience across the Northwest Atlantic and focused on Bermuda. Over 80 scientists participated from 12 marine research institutes to discover dozens of new species in Bermudian mesophotic and rariphotic depths (30m-300m) ranging from small cryptofauna to wide spread coverage of a new black coral species standing up to 2m high. The team documented the deepest recorded evidence of Lionfish globally – revealing the spread of this invasive species deeper into the ocean than previously known. A total of 20 scientific peer-reviewed papers are being published, all data is open-sourced and all specimens are retained in Bermuda and curated in the Bermuda A...

Automating a 20-year survey of deep-sea animals
A new robot that surveys the deep sea, collecting data autonomously, is providing a boost to one of MBARI’s longest running research projects. The Midwater Time-Series Project consists of video surveys of animals in the upper kilometer of the water column in Monterey Bay. Trained biologists review the video footage, identifying and documenting every animal seen. The resulting data can be analyzed to determine what species live in the midwater region, adding to our understanding of life in the deep sea, and how it is changing over time. The new i2MAP (Investigations of Imaging for Midwater Autonomous Platforms) AUV system will increase survey efficiency and add to the remotely operated vehicle observations MBARI researchers have been making over the past two decades.

Survey of San Pedro basin seafloor finds munitions, explosives
A second sweeping survey of the seafloor off the Southern California coast by researchers from UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography revealed aging military munitions and explosives littering the bottom of the ocean. The survey, conducted in April 2023, was a follow-up to one completed in 2021, which found barrel-sized objects organized in lines across 135 square miles of the San Pedro basin -- between Santa Catalina Island and Long Beach. Led by Scripps oceanographers Sophia Merrifield and Eric Terrill, the 2023 survey used a deep-water autonomous underwater vehicle with sonar and a remotely operated vehicle with an HD video camera, both capable of working up to full ocean depth of 6,000 meters or 19,600 feet, a statement from UCSD read.

“It could also be potentially lifesaving: Even today, the lack of a detailed map can be deadly, as was the case when the USS San Francisco crashed into an uncharted mountain in 2005. “People have been excited about going to different planets,” says Martin Jakobsson, professor of marine geology and geophysics at Stockholm University, but “we haven’t been able to bring the attention to our own Earth in the same way as Mars. It hasn’t been easy to rally the whole world behind us.” Yet at the same time, some ecologists fear that such a map will also aid mining industries who seek profit in the previously unattainable depths of the Earth.”
The Ocean: Haven’t We Already Mapped It?
https://schmidtocean.org/cruise-log-post/the-ocean-havent-we-already-mapped-it/
“Most of the seafloor that has been mapped thoroughly is close to shore. Thanks to all of the hydrographers that constantly survey the world’s coastlines, we now have nautical charts (specialized maps) that are used to safely navigate ships. Coastal areas are well surveyed and often re-surveyed because seafloor conditions continuously change, especially close to shore. Hydrographers make sure that ships have the information they need to navigate safely by detecting and reporting new hazards to navigation with each chart update.”

MBARI scientists worked with Los Angeles film production company Frame 48 to visualize the terrain of Sur Ridge in astonishing detail. These amazing images demonstrate what’s possible when scientists and engineers work together to develop new technology for exploring the deep ocean.
