Prof Jorgen Berge and Dr Emily Venables, of SAMS, retrieve a glider from the Barents Sea.
Underwater robots from Dunbeg-based Scottish Association for Marine Science have uncovered new evidence about life in the Arctic and, for the first time, revealed the moment the region’s marine ecosystem springs into life aTher the winter.
The unique data was gathered by autonomous ocean-going ‘gliders’ and will help marine scientists understand more about the so-called Arctic spring bloom, which kick starts the ecosystem and is crucial in providing food for animals in the region.
