DESCRIPTION:Seminar AnnouncementDepartment of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences 
 "Using Autonomous Systems for Coastal and Estuarine Research"Dr. Miles Sun
 dermeyerProfessor, Estuarine and Ocean Sciences, UMass Dartmouth Wednesday
 , October 14, 202612:30 - 1:30 pmSMAST E 101-103 and via Zoom Abstract: Ov
 er the past 20+ years, the use of autonomous systems has become well estab
 lished and widespread across all sub-disciplines of oceanography. This pre
 sentation will highlight a few such autonomous systems that are currently 
 being employed by the Ocean Mixing & Stirring Autonomous Vehicles Lab at S
 MAST, including long endurance (month-long) ocean gliders; a high payload 
 capacity uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV); and a pod of compact, low-cost mic
 ro-uncrewed underwater vehicles (micro UUVs).  Multiple example applicati
 ons will be highlighted, including offshore surveys of hydrographic, biolo
 gical and optical properties across the continental shelf during Atlantic 
 hurricane season, elevation surveys assessing the progress of a local salt
  marsh restoration project; and assessment of hydrography and water qualit
 y within local estuarine systems.  A recent analysis of the capabilities 
 of the Jaia Robotics, Inc micro UUV for use in estuarine environments will
  be presented in detail, along with a preview of multiple projects current
 ly in progress within the Ocean Mixing & Stirring and Coastal Systems Prog
 ram research groups at SMAST. Join Meetinghttps://umassd.zoom.us/j/9744006
