SiU funded NORUS program in higher research between USA & Norway: Technology & Science Development for Marine Monitoring and Ocean Observation Research based Educational Field Studies Using New Sensors for Mapping of Water Surface, Column and Sea floor Geir Johnsen (NTNU) Mark Moline (California Polytechnic State University) Jørgen Berge (UNIS) Oscar Schofield (Rutgers University) norus-science.com 2009-2011
Program Goals www.norus SCIENCE.COM To educate and train the next generation of scientist and engineers using new technology with emphasis in the Arctic on climate change. Strengthen the cooperation between the Norway and United States in underwater robotics for effective management of natural resources and industrial application development. Senter for internasjonalisering av høyere utdanning
Motivation Recent advances in underwater robotics for marine applications not well developed in the academic outside the US. Norway s interest in Northern Areas of territory (resources and increased access). Interest from a science perspective as Arctic undergoing significant change. Need for next generation of scientists and engineers in these cross disciplinary areas.
Educational Partnerships Marine Science Hands on Education Polar Experience Student Base Underwater Robotics Underwater Robotics Arctic Infrastructure Underwater Robotics Applications Computer Engineering Applications Operational Center Integration of these elements in a research education setting
Group Experience ROV Statistics: 259 Deployments Own research vessel Many stations AUV Statistics: 292 Deployments 43 In-water days 6,150 km Mooring Statistics: 25 Deployments 6570 In-water days 3 Stations Glider Statistics: 260 Deployments 3987 In-water days 93,000 km Interpretation of data/sensors/positionin g/navigation/applicatio ns Vehicle Autonomy, new applications, interpretation Arctic Logistics/Timeseries Operations Control, long distance surveys
Challenges Hardware Function Software (mission programing and intelligence) Power (mission Length scale of measurements) Telemetry (satellite) Currents Bottom Type (walls, kelp) Sea Ice (communications, deployment, recovery)
Under ice mission Achievements Conducted an under ice mission in open ocean pack ice Developed a photomosaic of the ice field Evaluated the near ice conditions with biota sampled from the same area
Achievements Multiple AUV/gliders missions in local fjord systems Kongsfjorden, Isfjorden, Smeerenburgfjorden Studies on Bioluminescence (DVM community structure tool) Navigation in tidally forced fjord systems Bottom mapping Temporal/Spatial variance studies Evaluation of NAW intrusion into fjords and associated biota Less nutritious biota in NAW
Near future Paradigm shift: From expeditions with off line sampling to continuous monitoring Integrated environmental monitoring Subsea infrastructure, platforms, sensors and information technology Monitoring in extreme areas (dark, cold, deep)
Near future cont... Continued Collaboration Science (projects, papers, visits) Education (student exchange, course development) Integration of Technology into Norw Science and Education Acquisition of Underwater Vehicles (NTNU, UNIS) Founding of the Applied Underwater Robotics Laboratory at NTNU Applications in the Arctic Under Ice Missions Polar Night Studies
Educational Strategy Selection of student cohort Undergraduates, Masters, PhD Students and Postdocs Cross disciplinary (Biology Engineering) Mentorship a central theme Introduction to sampling marine environments (temperate/polar) Temperate and Polar Introduction to sampling platforms, sensors and data analysis tools AUV s, gliders, ROVs, crawlers, moorings CTD, bio optical sensors, acoustical, imaging systems.
