Summary: Dr. Stacey Kim returned to McMurdo with SCINI, an underwater ROV that presents a narrow form factor that allows the robot to be launched through a 6 inch diameter hole in the sea ice. Underwater navigation is controlled via precisely positioned transducers dropped through the ice. This season the team successfully operated the ROV at Heald Island, identifying several rare species under the ice. UNAVCO assisted in pre-locating multiple dive holes and transducer positions for the instrument. Unavco also provided RTK equipment and training, allowing the group to set up dive locations in a variety of field location.
