Professors, Students Heading Home from January Arctic Research Project


From the Jan 27, 2010 Cal Poly Report Employee Newsletter
Cal Poly Biology Professor Mark Moline, Computer Engineering Professor Christopher Clark and their students were scheduled to come home from the Arctic this week. The professors brought their collection of marine robots and two Cal Poly students to Norway to study the underwater Arctic ecosystem in January in collaboration with Norwegian biologists. Their two-week expedition to Ny-Ă…lesund, Svalbard, was funded through the Norwegian Government, National Geographic, and the United States' National Science Foundation. The professors and students worked with divers, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, a Remotely Operating Vehicle, and an ocean bottom crawler.
