REMUS Returns from the Deep

Aboard the R/V Tioga, WHOI engineer Craig Marquette (middle) and physical oceanographers Glen Gawarkiewicz (left) and Anthony Kirincich work to recover a Remote Environmental Monitoring Unit (REMUS) vehicle during a September 2010 cruise to study coastal currents in waters off the Outer Cape. REMUS vehicles can carry a variety of sensors and instruments and are particularly well suited for surveying and mapping the ocean bottom. A REMUS vehicle, known as the Icebot, was deployed under ice during a March 2010 expedition to better understand the flow of water to the Arctic from the Pacific Ocean.(Photo by Jayne Doucette, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
