“The high-bay area and testing tank will give us the capacity to bring in large vehicles, put them in the water and test their systems so they\u2019ll be ready to go into the ocean and be successful.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Adam Soule has one of the most visible roles at the Graduate School of Oceanography\u2014leading the new Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute, which aims to accelerate ocean exploration through the development of next-generation tools for studying the marine environment. The complex exploration tools his team is working on, like autonomous systems requiring no human intervention, will receive a big boost from the facilities that will be housed in the new Ocean Robotics Laboratory. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe high-bay area and testing tank will give us the capacity to bring in large vehicles, put them in the water and test their systems so they\u2019ll be ready to go into the ocean and be successful,\u201d Soule said. \u201cThat\u2019s the key\u2014testing as much as possible on campus to increase the odds of success when we\u2019re out in the harsh and unpredictable environment of the ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-location of scientists and engineers in the same building is also important to the success of their work because it allows for easier collaboration. \u201cThere\u2019s an incredible amount of progress made simply by walking through the halls and seeing what someone else is working on and having a discussion about it,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can\u2019t work in isolation and expect the fast progress that occurs when we\u2019re together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The university\u2019s new state-of-the-art research vessel, Narragansett Dawn,<\/em> adds another vital element. \u201cPart of the reason for developing these tools is so we can use that ship to the full extent of its capabilities,\u201d Soule said. \u201cThe combination of this building and this ship are a step toward the future of oceanography, where we have a lighter footprint in the ocean but an expanded area of observation and study.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
