Summary: Dr. Oliver teamed with Dr. Stacey Kim to deploy SCINI, an underwater ROV to assess benthic communities in the McMurdo Sound area. This included a return to a 1960's experiment staged in New Harbor. The ROV's underwater navigation is controlled via precisely positioned transducers dropped through the ice. UNAVCO provided RTK equipment and training, although ultimately the precision gear was deemed unnecessary.
