Articles Contained in SIRS Enduring Issues 2004. Originally Published: Robots of the Deep Blue Yonder, Feb. 2003; pp. 53-59.
"Nearly every day, somewhere on the crest of the 37,000 miles of mid-ocean ridges that zigzag the global seafloor, a volcanic eruption spews a stream of red-hot lava, reshaping and renewing Earth's crust. Scientists know little about these violent events....But a new breed of robots known as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) may soon fill this critical knowledge gap." (POPULAR SCIENCE) This article discusses the development of new underwater vehicles with sophisticated data-gathering capabilities that will give scientists faster access to underwater events.
