Professor Stephanie Waterman of the University of British Columbia, Canada works at the forefront of a new robotic era, using remote robots for ocean observation. On Monday 26 June she presents a public lecture on using roaming robots to better understand the ocean. All are welcome to attend the event
The oceans remain a mystery, as foreign to us as outer space but crucially intertwined with all life on Earth, playing a pivotal role in climate regulation and food production. Much of the mystery stems from the many significant challenges associated with observing the ocean. But the robot revolution is ushering in a new era of ocean observation, with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of ocean functioning.
