Applications

Geology and Mineralogy: Surveying of mineral sands, manganese nodule fields, sediment composition, and mineral deposits.
Resource Assessment: Evaluation of seabed minerals and site suitability studies. Surveys for precise habitat mapping, metric assessments, and temporal change detection across complex seafloor terrains.
Climate Studies: Monitoring and assessing impacts of climate change on abyssal environments. (e.g. coral reef health)
Environmental Monitoring: Detection of pollution, environmental impact assessments, and disaster response (e.g., oil spills, submarine landslides).
Search and Salvage: Surveys for precise mapping of detritus and wreckage debris location and composition.
Cultural Heritage Site Surveys: Conduct comprehensive underwater surveys for organic and inorganic materials at historically significant underwater sites.
Marine Ecology: In-depth exploration of benthic habitats, population surveys, species identification, and behavioral research.
Underwater Infrastructure Inspection and Maintenance: Identify cracks, biofouling, pitting, etc. on oilrigs, platforms, submerged infrastructure for maintenance and repair.
