SEAMAIL: Other Technology – ROVs from TAMMY FRANK
(NOTE: DEEPEND does not use ROV technology, but many of our summer camps might discuss ROVs within their STEM classes. Dr. Frank and many of the DEEPEND Team have used or use ROVs in other deep-sea research. The photos are from Dr. Frank’s NOAA-OER Bioluminescence and Vision on the Deep Seafloor 2015 research cruise from summer 2015)
