Enabler TECHNOLOGY

The comprehensive and continuous exploration of the deep ocean and ocean floor requires smart, innovative solutions for observation and sampling techniques and monitoring devices under extreme environmental conditions, including robotics, new sensors and advanced digital solutions. The Enabler Deep-sea Technology and Ocean-Floor Observing Systems (TECHNOLOGY) strives to improve MARUM’s existing technology and develop new technologies and instrumentation tailored to the Cluster’s ambitious scientific goals.

We will achieve this by (1)  improve particle tracking and sampling on mobile platforms, (2) build and use MeBo downhole tools and observatories, (3) improve AUV / ROV-based navigation and mapping, and (4) purchase and use of an ROV grade in-situ mass spectrometer to monitor the spatial and temporal concentration analysis for specific gases at high resolution.

The technologies we develop and deploy enable crucial measurements in RECEIVER (Task 1), REACTOR (Tasks 2, 3, 4) and RECORDER (Task 2, 3), and provide fundamental links between the research themes.
