Polar Operations Guide for AUV's online

Here comes another tidbit that floated into my newsfilter while I was at sea:

Here is a website that is result of a conference on AUV's. This acronym stands for "Autonomous Underwater Vehicle", the "untethered" version of a ROV, or Remotely Operated Vehicle, in both cases an underwater robot used in scientific, commercial as well as military missions).




Since the participants of that conference workshop wisely decided that their subject, best practices for AUV operations in polar areas, is still a budding field of expertise, they decided to turn it into a web-based project where users can contribute and participate in the accumulation of such expertise.

A must for "underwater exploration gear" freaks like me...
