ISE Host Antarctic Operations Workshop
Ocean News
A greater number of researchers and engineers than usual could be seen at the International Submarine Engineering Ltd. (ISE) facility recently as over 20 experts from around the world gathered for a workshop.
Hosted by ISE and lead by Australia’s Antarctic Gateway Partnership, the workshop aimed to finalize details for nupiri muka’s first field season.
Nupiri muka is an ISE Explorer AUV that is owned and operated by the University of Tasmania as part of the Antarctic Gateway Partnership, a special research Initiative of the Australian Research Council. Deploying this innovative AUV beneath Antarctic ice shelves will allow the first time collection of data which is vital to understanding the physical, chemical and biological processes at work around and under Antarctic ice.
The attendees include researchers and engineers from the Antarctic Gateway Partnership, University of Tasmania (UTAS), Australian Antarctic Division, CSIRO, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), University of Gothenburg, National Oceanography Centre (Autosub), University of Tokyo, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI), and ISE.
