Hydro-Lek, UK reports that the versatility of its HyBIS robotic underwater vehicle has been further demonstrated in the deployment of ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) and ocean bottom electromagnetic receivers (OBEMs) on the seafloor in the Arctic Ocean. The expedition was conducted by members of the Marine Geology team from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Southampton, UK, to collect data from sites of methane gas and seafloor gas vents. HyBIS, a mnemonic for Hydraulic Benthic Interactive Sampler, is a 6000-metre rated, fully modular, electro-hydraulic platform designed to operate in conjunction with existing deck handling and cable systems.
