Adaptive Management for Impacts to Eelgrass Habitat in Gloucester Harbor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2007)
The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sea Grant College Program, along with partners, led an effort to create an eelgrass bank, raise awareness of the value of ...
Affordable Deep Ocean Exploration with a Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicle: Odyssey IV: a 6000 Meter Rated, Cruising and Hovering AUV
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2005)
The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Laboratory (AUVLAB) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is currently building and testing a new, general purpose and inexpensive 6000 meter capable Hovering Autonomous ...
Scalability of Non-intrusive Load Monitoring for Shipboard Applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009)
The non-intrusive load monitor has been demonstrated as an effective tool for evaluating and monitoring shipboard electro-mechanical systems through analysis of electrical power data. A key advantage of the non-intrusive ...
AUV NILM Update
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009)
Work on the AUV NILM project has proceeded along two main fronts:
(1) NILM System Development; (2) Diagnostics for Li-Ion Batteries
Acoustic Communication Networks for Distributed Autonomous Underwater Platforms: Progress Report
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2010-07)
The ultimate goal of this project is to design and develop an experimental platform for testing and evaluation of mobile underwater acoustic networking. This report represents a cumulative summary of research and engineering ...
Planning for the Future: Climate Adaptation in Hazard Mitigation Plans and Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plans
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2012-03)
This project investigated whether hazard mitigation plans (HMPs) and comprehensive water resource management plans (CWRMPs) completed by cities and towns in Massachusetts account for the long term effects of climate change. ...
Gradient-Free Stochastic Sensitivity Analysis of the Shipboard Power System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2008)
Sensitivity analysis results are useful both for the early design stage – where the parametric space can be substantially reduced – but also in operating conditions, e.g. of the future electric ship, resulting in reduced ...
Marine Introduced Species Q13: Are threats from marine invasive species increasing in Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays?
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2010)
Non-native species have emerged as one of the leading environmental threats to our coastal habitats. These species have been recognized globally as a major threat to biological diversity as well as to agriculture and other ...
Development and application of distributed MEMS pressure sensor array for AUV object avoidance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009-07)
A novel sensory system is being developed for AUVs to augment current sensory systems for navigation and operation in difficult environments. These environments are frequently cluttered and murky with substantial flow from ...
Touch-at-a-Distance: Pressure Microsensor Arrays for AUV Navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sea Grant College Program, 2009)
Inspired by the lateral-line organ in fish, the ultimate objective of this project continues to be the development of a passive system for AUVs that can detect, classify and locate underwater objects. The lateral line ...
