Ocean Technology of #ONCAbyss Summer 2024

The main objective of our NA161 #ONCAbyss Summer 2024 expedition is to provide maintenance and support of Ocean Networks Canada’s cabled observatory NEPTUNE (Northeast Pacific Undersea Networked Experiments), located off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. The cabled observatory consists of an 800-kilometer loop where fiber optic connected deployed technologies gather thousands of observations about dynamics across an entire tectonic plate with high-resolution temporal observations not afforded by traditional ship-based exploration. 

Check out some of the awesome tools and technology we use to accomplish this mission.
