TL;DR: The serpentinite-hosted Lost City hydrothermal field is a remarkable submarine ecosystem in which geological, chemical, and biological processes are intimately interlinked.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking Hydrocarbon Plume Transport and Biodegradation at Deepwater Horizon
Richard Camilli,Christopher M. Reddy,Dana R. Yoerger,Benjamin A. S. Van Mooy,Michael V. Jakuba,James C. Kinsey,Cameron McIntyre,Sean P. Sylva,James V. Maloney +8 more
TL;DR: Results from a subsurface hydrocarbon survey using an autonomous underwater vehicle and a ship-cabled sampler indicate the presence of a continuous plume of oil, more than 35 kilometers in length, at approximately 1100 meters depth that persisted for months without substantial biodegradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust trajectory control of underwater vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, a recent extension of sliding mode control is shown to handle nonlinearities, is highly robust to imprecise models, explicitly accounts for the presence of high-frequency unmodeled dynamics, and produces designs that are easy to understand.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of thruster dynamics on underwater vehicle behavior and their incorporation into control system design
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear parametric model of a torque-controlled thruster is developed and experimentally confirmed, and three forms of compensation are tested, utilizing a hybrid simulation combining an instrumented thruster with a real-time mathematical vehicle model.
Journal ArticleDOI
First active hydrothermal vents on an ultraslow-spreading center: Southwest Indian Ridge
Chunhui Tao,Jian Lin,Shiqin Guo,Yongshun John Chen,Guanghai Wu,Xiqiu Han,Christopher R. German,Dana R. Yoerger,Ning Zhou,Huaiming Li,Xin Su,Jian Zhu +11 more
TL;DR: The first active high-temperature hydrothermal field found on any ultra-low mid-ocean ridge worldwide was reported in this article, located on Southwest Indian Ridge at 37°47′S, 49°39′E, and it consists of three zones extending ∼1000 m laterally.
