IS34A:
Advancing Technologies for the Future of Deep-Ocean Exploration II Posters

Session ID#: 85803

Session Description:
Innovations and inventions in deep-sea technologies are being developed and introduced to the oceanographic community at a rapid pace. These advancements are largely enabled by reduced component cost and size/form factor, and increased rapid prototyping capabilities. The human population is 7.65 billion and rising; to ensure a thriving ocean into the future, we must invest in exploration and characterization of deep marine biogeography. Thus, we must open access to the tools of ocean exploration and redefine what it means to be an explorer.

We invite abstracts considering how to leverage new and yet-to-be-invented technologies, as well as training and enabling both experts and citizens to make and analyze discoveries. Emergent themes discussed during this session will include: (1) maximizing efficiency of discovery, especially technologies and methodologies; (2) creating a global community of explorers; and, (3) growing a global culture of exploration. This session will include advancements in bioinspired robotics, imaging, deployment platforms, in situ sensing and sample processing, and other topics to serve the deep-sea community.

A new paradigm for distributed ocean exploration will support SDG 14 and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development’s vision of a predicted and accessible ocean.

Suggested Scope of Proposals

We expect a broad cross-section of proposals, from technology development aimed at maximizing the efficiency of exploration to capacity building programs for creating a global ocean exploration community to multi-sensory experiences for creating a transparent and accessible ocean. Abstracts that include cross-disciplinary collaboration and proof-of-concept demonstrations from the field are particularly encouraged.
