Deep Learning for Detection of Underwater Aircraft Wrecks from US Conflicts Open
There are more than 72,000 missing in action service members from WWII, many of whom were lost at sea in aircraft. Using high-resolution sidescan sonar and a YOLOv7 model, we present a deep learning approach to expedite the search for thes…

Documenting the First Three U.S. Aircraft Discovered in Truk Lagoon from Operation Hailstone (February, 1944) Open
Operation Hailstone, conducted on 17–18 February 1944, was a major battle between the United States fast carrier Task Force 58 against the forward operating naval base of the Imperial Japanese Navy at Truk Lagoon (modern-day Chuuk, Federat…

Comparisons of Underwater Light From Atmospheric and Mechanically Stimulated Bioluminescence Sources in High Arctic Polar Night Open
At high latitudes, polar night is a prolonged period of seasonal darkness with the sun remaining below the horizon throughout the diel cycle for up to 177 days at the North Pole. Along with diffuse atmospheric light from the sun and the mo…

Bioluminescence potential during polar night: impact of behavioral light sensitivity and water mass pathways Open
During polar nights of 2012 and 2017, bioluminescence (BL) potential surveys demonstrated high emissions at depths around and below 100 m at offshore stations to the north of a Svalbard fjord (Rijpfjorden). We demonstrated that the highest…

Modeling studies of the bioluminescence potential dynamics in a high Arctic fjord during polar night Open
During polar nights in January 2012 and 2017, significantly higher bioluminescence (BL) potential emissions in the upper 50 m were observed in the fjord Rijpfjorden (Svalbard, Norway) in comparison to offshore stations (located on the shel…

Vertical migration timing illuminates the importance of visual and nonvisual predation pressure in the mesopelagic zone Open
Each day, motile pelagic organisms of all sizes undergo vertical movements tied to sunset and sunrise. Diel migration of animals is thought to result from the competing need to feed in energy rich surface waters while avoiding visual preda…

Dynamics of Bioluminescence Potential and Physical, Bio‐Optical Properties on the Shelf and Shelf‐Slope of Delaware Bay Open
The dynamics of physical and bio‐optical properties on the shelf and the shelf‐slope break areas offshore of the Delaware Bay were investigated. Compared to monthly means, there were elevated daily freshwater outflows. Glider observations …

Quantifying deep‐sea predator–prey dynamics: Implications of biological heterogeneity for beaked whale conservation Open
Prey distribution and density drive predator habitat usage and foraging behaviour. Understanding ecological relationships is necessary for effective management in any environment but can be challenging in certain contexts. While there has …

Prey in oceanic sound scattering layers organize to get a little help from their friends Open
Group formation in animals is a widespread phenomenon driven by food acquisition, reproduction, and defense. Life in the ocean is characteristically aggregated into horizontally extensive layers as a result of strong vertical gradients in …

Project Recover: Extending the Applications of Unmanned Platforms and Autonomy to Support Underwater MIA Searches Open
An estimated 70,000 US servicemen remain missing from World War II, with approximately two-thirds of those losses from the Pacific Theater.Many of the missing were lost in the maritime environment.Historically, attempts to locate remains i…

Hydrodynamic influences on acoustical and optical backscatter in a fringing reef environment Open
Observations of hydrodynamics along with optical and acoustical water characteristics in a tropical fringing reef environment reveal a distinct signature associated with flow characteristics and tidal conditions. Flow conditions are domina…

Predator-guided sampling reveals biotic structure in the bathypelagic Open
We targeted a habitat used differentially by deep-diving, air-breathing predators to empirically sample their prey's distributions off southern California. Fine-scale measurements of the spatial variability of potential prey animals from t…

Sensor Fusion and Autonomy as a Powerful Combination for Biological Assessment in the Marine Environment Open
The ocean environment and the physical and biological processes that govern dynamics are complex. Sampling the ocean to better understand these processes is difficult given the temporal and spatial domains and sampling tools available. Bio…
