LBath: A Microbathymetric Laser Imaging System
 |
The submersible laser bathymetric (LBath) optical system is capable of simultaneously providing visual images and generating bathymetric maps of the sea floor with centimeter spatial and depth resolution. The system operates at roughly 10 m above the sea floor and builds a bathymetric image by... |
LUMIS
 |
Our primary applications for LUMIS are in situ studies of (1) phytoplankton taxa and spatial variations; and (2) coral fluorescent pigment distributions. We have conducted plankton-related experiments in oligotrophic (Gulf of Eilat, Red Sea), eutrophic (Saanich Inlet, B.C., Canada), and coastal (... |
TLSM: Thin laser light sheet microscope for microbial oceanography
 |
Our understanding of the significance of microbes in the ocean has improved dramatically over the last decade. However there is still great need for instruments capable of providing insight into the behavior of microbes in their natural setting. The Thin Laser light Sheet Microscope (TLSM) is a... |
Manatee Finder Project
 |
The Manatee Finder project was established to develop an active sonar system that would detect, and then alert boaters, to the presence of manatees in the area. The project was strongly motived by the fact that nearly 1/3 of all manatee deaths each year are caused by interactions with boats. Given... |
FIDO-PHI 2006
 |
The goal of our most recent cruise was to deploy our FIDO vehicle in various configurations to observe particle size spectra and also time varying scatter of light in the ocean. Leaving from San Diego we over-nighted off Catalina (up and back) on the way to the Channel Islands. The cruise... |
Fish T.V.
 |
Despite the importance of understanding the role of animal behavior in submarine ecosystems, ecologists who study these systems have very few tools for observation. The FTV systems are 3-dimensional acoustic “imaging” systems that permit observation of reflective targets in their native environment... |

FIDO-PHI
 |
Fido-Φ, or also known as Free-Fall, is a two-dimensional imaging fluorometer. It falls through the water column taking high-resolution images of the physical and planktonic microstructures that exists in our oceans. It's an autonomous, untethered instrument composed of a high sensitivity, low noise... |
