TechOceans

Project Overview

TechOceans advanced sensor technologies for autonomous ocean platforms, developing and testing novel instruments for biogeochemical and ecological observations. The project brought together technology developers, platform operators, and end users to co-design sensors that meet scientific requirements while being compatible with autonomous deployment constraints.

My role focused on testing biogeochemical sensors on glider platforms and providing feedback on sensor performance, data quality, and integration requirements. The project demonstrated several new sensor capabilities including miniaturized nutrient analyzers, advanced optical systems, and passive acoustic recorders suitable for long-duration glider missions.

TechOceans contributed to expanding the suite of measurements available from autonomous platforms, enabling more comprehensive ocean observations for research and monitoring applications.
