| Jan. 14: Launching the REMUS units |
January 19, 2011
Just a quick note to go along with two photos. Here's Mark (Moline) Jan. 14 - a monumental research day, as we set out to launch the two REMUS units.
The REMUS units are the black vehicles. The yellow vehicles seen in other photos on this blog are the gliders.
We're sending them out to gather data as part of a research project on the foraging environment of Adélie penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula. Our work is being paid for by a grant from the National Science Foundation secured by Mark (Professor Mark Moline).
You can read more about the grant paying for our work by clicking here to read the Cal Poly News Release about it.
In the photo below, you can see Mark testing the REMUS units on what passes for a balmy summer day in Antarctica.
