Soft Robotic Grippers for Biological Sampling on Deep Reefs [PDF]
Soft Robotics, 2016 This article presents the development of an underwater gripper that utilizes soft robotics technology to delicately manipulate and sample fragile species on the deep reef. Existing solutions for deep sea robotic manipulation have historically been driven by the oil industry, resulting in destructive interactions with undersea life.

Current observations on and around a deep-ocean island/reef: northern Palau and Velasco Reef
Journal of Oceanography, 2022 AbstractCurrent and hydrographic measurements were made in the equatorial Pacific Ocean between the westward-flowing North Equatorial Current and the eastward-flowing North Equatorial Counter Current. Nine moorings containing current profilers and hydrographic sensors were deployed on and around Velasco Reef, just north of Palau Island, from May 2016 ...

Environmental factors affecting large-bodied coral reef fish assemblages in the Mariana Archipelago. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Large-bodied reef fishes represent an economically and ecologically important segment of the coral reef fish assemblage. Many of these individuals supply the bulk of the reproductive output for their population and have a disproportionate effect on their
