|  | | University of Washington | | The rectangular, orange-colored node shown on the right -- imagine something about the size of a sports utility vehicle -- is a hub where instruments and sensors can plug into for power and two-way communications. The suite of instruments shown include some on the seafloor, some in boreholes below the seafloor and, to the right of the node, some mounted on moorings. Scientists in the near future hope to remotely direct autonomous vehicles to examine such things as erupting underwater volcanoes and new submarine hot springs. |
