Mapping Marine Habitats

The Autonomous Benthic Explorer (ABE) of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution often works by first using sonar on a regular grid to map the topography of a mid-ocean ridge area. When the ABE discovers a possible vent site, by being moved upward by warm water flow from venting, it returns to take pictures of the site. (Credit: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution): See Video

Animals as Oceanographers

This video explains the use of elephant seals to monitor ocean conditions in the Southern Ocean. It shows the tracks of tagged marine mammals around Antarctica over the annual cycle of sea ice growth and retreat. These animals were tagged by the Sea Mammal Research Unit at the University of St. Andrews (Scotland). (Credit: Sea Mammal Research Unit): See Video
