Ocean Science - Tailored technology for underwater monitoring, profiling and surveillance
Ocean Science
In ocean science, underwater detection technologies are widely used to monitor subsurface infrastructure, map undersea terrain, study aquatic biodiversity, support scientific research, and more. Real-time and long-term monitoring, as well as flexible integration, are essential.
- Continuous monitoring: MacArtney DOMUS supports both real-time and long-term observation of marine ecosystems, environmental conditions, and aquaculture projects. Our systems can be connected to established mooring lines, providing reliable data for scientific research and underwater studies.
- Adaptable Integration: We offer modular sensor packages that can be customised to track specific parameters, ensuring comprehensive data collection for various research initiatives. Additionally, we can integrate clients' existing equipment, enhancing the overall system's capabilities.
Challenges in underwater infrastructure surveillance
Long-term deployment in dynamic environments: Scientific monitoring often requires equipment to remain operational for extended periods in changing ocean conditions. Pressure, biofouling, and shifting currents can affect sensor performance and data quality over time.
Data consistency and accessibility: Collecting reliable, high-resolution data across different timeframes and locations can be difficult. Ensuring consistent data streams and integrating them into broader research frameworks is essential for long-term studies.
Integration of diverse instrumentation: Ocean science projects often involve a mix of new and existing instruments from various sources. Ensuring compatibility and smooth integration into a unified monitoring system can be technically complex and resource-intensive.
How DOMUS can help
By offering adaptable integration, long-term deployment options, and support for a wide range of instrumentation, DOMUS helps researchers overcome common challenges in ocean science monitoring. It makes it easier to collect consistent, high-quality data in complex marine environments.
