Autonomous vehicles, gliders, equipped with oceanographic sensors can now be easily deployed from ships to extend a science data collection period, access areas that are challenging to reach with a traditional science cruise vessel or increase the spatial resolution of ocean data. However, for active acoustic data without a parallel data collection with net and trawl data from a ship, it is diffic

Hvert år brukes millioner av kroner på å overvåke og kartlegge norsk natur for å kartlegge ulike parasitter i vannmiljø, for eksempel Gyrodactylus salaris. For en mer ressurs-effektiv kartlegging ble det for tre år siden igangsatt et arbeide for å utvikle en løsning for automatisk miljøovervåking ved hjelp av miljø-DNA. Nå i oktober demonstrertede to gjenværende konsortiene i den såkalte før-komme
