Use robots to explore the oceans

Revolutionizing robots in the future, will make it easier for us to understand the oceans. Discover what ocean exploration will do in the new era, what really makes sense, especially when we hear Professor Tony Haymet, Director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California , San Diego, USA, presented in a free public talk about Green Future: Using robots for ocean exploration, this information was posted in the Sydney Science Forum, Australia, issue on Wednesday, April 20, 2011.

The oceans are often forgotten in discussions on global climate change, but they are the planet's radiator system and play a very important role in climate control. About 50% of the oxygen we breathe is produced by microorganisms that live in the oceans, so understanding the activities of the oceans and organisms within them is very important.

In general, the activity of studying oceans is limited by the sheer immensity of them and people who are unable to afford health and equipment to penetrate every nook and cranny of the oceans, but This may change in the next decade, when ocean exploration robots are born.

Professor Tony Haymet will introduce his new insights into controlling sea and air robot activity and explain how this research will lead to a whole new era when the robot is used. used to explore every corner of our green planet, ultimately enhancing our understanding of the factors affecting the earth such as air, climate and biodiversity.

"Currently the oceans are changing faster than the speed of science development, but this has created a new era of adventurous robots, the means to explore large oceans. great - just like every corner of the sky and the earth - at a relatively cheap cost, " said Professor Haymet.

"People have great technical ability and ingenuity, however, the fact that most of our oceans are still undiscovered, aims to emphasize the difference where we have been choose to invest your capacity. "

" For example, sometimes I feel that: in scientific discussions when talking about climate change since 1965. The word 'ocean' is hardly mentioned in the documents of the negotiations, international conference on climate change in the United Nations, . And almost all international policies and media mostly focus on greenhouse gases in their atmosphere We, especially CO2, have considered climate change on the one hand, "air", while they forget the role of oceans, " said Professor Haymet.

"The atmospheric CO ₂ is dissolved in the oceans and the amount of carbon in the oceans has increased by more than 30% in the last 150 years. The unnatural change in the chemical composition of seawater is harmful to organisms with calcium carbonate shells, and all living things thanks to this food source. "

Professor Haymet will point out what Scripps Oceanography Institute needs to do to supplement our ocean knowledge gaps and show how they use Exploratory Robot technology in the chapter. his research process.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography has a 108-year-old age, and is now part of the University of California, San Diego, USA. It is one of the oldest, largest Research Centers, in most marine research centers for physics, marine biology, atmospheric and earth science.

Co-founder of Cleantech San Diego, USA - a business organization dedicated to: creating companies and finding solutions to climate change - Professor Haymet will also contact some His work with San Diego Cleantech organization in using robots to explore the oceans.

The Faculty of Science, University of Sydney, Australia is very pleased to welcome Professor Haymet back in public conversation: he holds a Bachelor of Science (Honors) and Doctor of Science degree from the University of Sydney, Australia, and was a former member of the School of Chemistry with such titles as: Professor of Chemistry and Dean of Chemistry theory from 1991 to 1998.
