DUBAI, United Arab Emirates —Three Red Sea underwater cables providing internet and telecommunications around the world have been cut as the waterway remains a target ofYemen’s Houthi rebels, officials said Monday. Meanwhile, a suspected Houthi attack set ...
We still don’t know the locations of all the faults on Earth, particularly in hard-to-measure locations such as under cities or on the sea floor. Distributed acoustic sensing could be used to turn other existing cables that aren’t in use into offshore seismic sensors to map underwater...

Detailed mapping of the seabed is increasingly important for the laying of vital communications cables that connect different regions of the world and the installation of ocean based energy infrastructure. Knowing the contour and makeup of the seabed strata is critical to safe and reliable cabling, ...
Elevation map generation is an essential component of any autonomous underwater vehicle designed to navigate close to the seafloor because elevation maps are used for obstacle avoidance, path planning and self localization. We present an algorithm for the reconstruction of elevation maps of the seafloor...
(but not too close as too close was often an invitation to disaster) to shore to explore, sound, map and observe the local fauna and topography. At night they would stand out to sea for safety. Safety from the tides, reefs, rocks and unfriendly locals. On April 29th they entered the ...
So this is a part of the dive map I hadn’t been to yet, both iconic in their own way and I was very happy to discover we would also be diving in and around Banda Island along the way. I think this meant we would be diving in the Banda Sea, Ceram Sea and Halmahera Sea – ho...
the sea,” said Michael Manga, a UC Berkeley professor of earth and planetary science. “This research shows the promise of using existing fiber-optic cables as arrays of sensors to image in new ways. Here, they’ve identified previously hypothesized waves that had not been detected before.”...
We dived through the exhibit and got into an artificial garden of underwater algae, with leaves made of shiny metal attached to cables. They were held in an upright position by large blue buoys. Divers swim through the sculptural installation, MUSAN, Cyprus. Photo by Andrey Bizyukin Diving ...
Remotely operated platforms connected via cables from floating ships can also be referred to as ROVs. In addition, the towed underwater platforms (TUPs) form a category of platforms without self-propulsion that are solely operated by the traction of the cable. A combination of the self-...
