This year's J-Term ROV class was a first for UNH. Thirteen students immersed themselves in all aspects of ROV science and applications, guided by an impressive team of instructors.

This year's Know the Coast open house was a two-day event. The Chase Ocean Engineering Lab hosted 500 students on Friday, then opened its doors to the public on Saturday so that people could come and meet our researchers and see all of the cool stuff we do. A good time was had by all!

In August, more than 20 people came to New Hampshire for the AUV Bootcamp, a week-long annual workshop where scientists and professionals from around the world gather to develop and improve AUV methods.

CCOM researchers who were part of an international science team on a five-week expedition aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy have returned from the Arctic. The cruise was a great success and they accomplished their mission to map the seafloor and collect data to help define the outer limits of the U.S. continental shelf. Stay tuned for data, images, and a cruise report but, in the meantime, read co-chief scientist Capt. Andy Armstrong's notes from the Arctic!

CCOM Director Larry Mayer is the chief scientist for the Eratosthenes Leg of the E/V Nautilus's 2012 season.
