Underwater observations of dolphin reactions to a distressed conspecific [PDF]
This report describes the epimeletic (or "caregiving") behavior produced by members of a group of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and the possible role of the ailing animal's distress call in eliciting such behavior. Epimeletic behavior in cetaceans most typically involves forms of support provided to a distressed, injured, or dying ...

ASSESSMENT OF CHROMATIC ABERRATIONS FOR GOPRO 3 CAMERAS IN UNDERWATER ENVIRONMENTS [PDF]
With underwater photogrammetric mapping becoming more prominent due to the lower costs for waterproof cameras as well as lower costs for underwater platforms, the aim of this research is to investigate chromatic aberration in underwater environments ...

Underwater Communication Using UAVs to Realize High-Speed AUV Deployment
To monitor ocean and seafloor properties in detail, sensors are generally installed on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). An AUV cannot accurately determine its absolute position and needs to communicate with a sea-surface vehicle.
