Rovs Are Valuable For Underwater Exploration

One reason that we should explore the ocean is that it is easier to explore. For example It’s on earth so It’s easier to get equipment to the water. It’s closer so it’s faster to get there, In space it could take years to get back from space. Also It’s all the

Archaeology is a continuously evolving field where there is a constant stream of new branches and excavation methods. Due to the influx of new technologies and innovations in recent decades, archaeologists have been able to excavate previously inaccessible areas. For example, new diving equipment and tools such as proton magnetometers, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, and miniature submarines have allowed archaeologists to dive into the deep depths of the ocean. As a result, the branch of underwater archaeology was created to search for shipwrecks and other artifacts on the ocean floor. Underwater archaeology’s role has increased in recent years as it allows archaeologists to more accurately interpret the past by supplementing

First of all, ocean exploration technology has advanced much more than before in the past decade. In the past, people had to bring everything needed for scuba diving which included hundreds of pounds of gear and photographing technology. Now, all

An example of why sea exploration is so important lies with hydrothermal vents. If scientists hadn’t had an open mind about the ocean, they wouldn’t have gone searching for hydrothermal vents. Without that determination

Recovering artifacts from the shipwreck, people are fascinated about exploring old things that were lost or destroyed in the past. For that, scientists were searching shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico, they have discovered two sunken ships that went down during a storm in the 1800s. The ships they found were in deep underwater, about 4,363 feet down, which makes the ships the deepest Gulf or North American shipwrecks that have ever been studied. In 2011, a crew from the Shell Oil company found a shipwreck and asked the scientists and leaders in the U.S. to come and studied it. People want to know if how do they research the ships was an underwater robot to take a look at it. Just to make sure that nothing happens to it, they armed six

Midway through the recent Netflix documentary Mission Blue (Robert Nixon and Fisher Stevens, 2014), which follows the renowned marine biologist and conservationist Sylvia Earle’s campaign to establish protected marine sanctuaries around the globe, the narrator pauses to note an irony: the same industries that have for over half a century exploited the ocean for oil and gas, wreaking environmental havoc, are also responsible for the greatest technological advances in ocean exploration. These advances, moreover, helped deepen scientific understanding of the ocean and of its ecological import. Ocean

According to the United Nations more than three million shipwrecks can be found on the ocean floor. These ships contain trillion dollars worth of artifacts, however we should not forget that an incalculable number of people lost their lives on those ships, making them massive underwater cemeteries.

The first commissioned aircraft carrier, the USS Langley, made its debut in 1922 (Petty, The Carriers). From then after, navies across the world continued to improve and add these platforms to their fleets. With 19 aircraft carriers from nine countries steaming across the world, carriers are a prominent representation of a county’s naval power (Mizokami). The United States Navy (USN) alone boasts 10 Nimitz Class supercarriers propelled by twin nuclear reactors, allowing each carrier to steam across the world’s oceans for decades without refueling (Petty, Aircraft). By law, the USN is required to maintain at least 11 carriers; while the US only has 10 carriers in service, an eleventh and entirely new class, the Gerald R. Ford, is nearing commission

In addition to Molly’s lecture, there was another guest speaker who spoke on Marine Archaeology. For his Master’s research, this student went to Guam over the summer. The specific region being researched was called the Seabee Junkyard, famous for its mass amount of underwater World War II equipment that was disposed of in the ocean after the war had finished. For the first part of his research, diving was heavily involved in the process. While diving, research was being recorded via physical surveying (jotting down discoveries with paper and pen that worked underwater), underwater cameras, and evaluating corrosion factors of the pieces they found. The second part of this research project involved using the discovered information to create

Of course diving into ship wrecks is a very dangerous job and requires special equipment to safely gather up everything they’re looking for. First you need a ship to get you out to where you

Exploring the “unknown” is a bad idea because it causes many damages to the humans, it could affect your life, will give no connection with someone in your family for years or months, ocean exploration is basically unknown exploration. Major exploration shouldn’t be supported because of all these things that can go horribly

i. These vehicles could be used to collect data for climate research, ocean exploration, offshore oil exploration and production and even surveillance of pipelines and telecommunications.

History tells us that humans have been working underwater for several centuries. ROVs have been used since the 1960s and ever since then we have found more ways for their use. According to http://www.rov.org/rov_history.cfm. The US Navy funded most of the early ROV technology development in the 1960s into what was then named a "Cable-Controlled Underwater Recovery Vehicle". R.O.V. Remotely Operated Vehicle is the name used to refer to the wire-guided robot submarines used in the maritime industry. They are highly maneuverable, are driven by skilled operators on board vessels or platforms. On one side of the debate people will argue that ROVs are not valuable for underwater research. However ROVs are ABSOLUTELY valuable to underwater research because of their accessibility, ability to find treasures, and helping history coming back to life.

Think of the families. The families that lost their loved ones on ships that have sunk. And they don't ever know what happened or ever find the bodies. What a tragedy. Unless… there is a way to find the ship and the people that were on it… Are ROVs valuable for underwater research? ROV stands for Remotely Operated Vehicles and they are robots that go underwater and find sunken ships or shipwrecks that have never been found. Some people think that ROVs are absolutely not valuable for underwater research. Because they cost and for other reasons. They think that people should be the ones that go and find ships and treasures not the Robots. However, ROVs are ABSOLUTELY valuable to underwater research because they can go into tight spaces, how they

For many years humans have struggled to discover the deepest parts of the ocean and have also struggled with discovering space. We could not go really deep into the ocean, because humans can not withstand the pressure that the ocean produces. But now there is a robot that can reach the ocean floor called “The Benthic Rover”. With that new robot, scientist will be able to record how changes on the surface of the ocean will impact the marine animals below. “What is special about the rover is that we will be able to stay in the deep parts of the ocean for a really long time collecting seasonal changes data” (Engineer Alana Sherman). With Benthic Rover,
