Ocean News 16: Oceanography in Hurricanes, Underwater Jetpacks, Glacial Flooding, Overcoming Injury
In this 16th Episode of Ocean News, we delve into the latest Oceanography News and Marine Science Updates.
We kick off this week’s episode of Oceanography News by exploring the daring mission of flying into the heart of hurricanes to deploy cutting-edge Oceanographic sensors. Scientists are utilizing advanced CTD-equipped sensors. Hopefully soon including the innovative D2 CTD technology, for aircraft for this crucial project.

Moving on to the next highlight, Lloyd’s Maritime Institute sheds light on the fascinating world of underwater jetpacks by Cudajet.
Transitioning to the US Geological Survey (USGS) stories, the first feature uncovers the impact of a glacier leading to heightened flooding in Alaska. Additionally, the USGS unveils a new Water Cycle Diagram, showcasing their continuous research efforts.
A very special mention goes out to the D2 and USGS Softball team for their spirited participation in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution softball league.
Further in the spotlight is Kraken’s Subsea Lidar Technology, showcasing the remarkable advancements in their undersea systems. These platforms align seamlessly with the precision required for D2 CTD operations.
Lastly, we share an inspiring narrative about Jake Bonney, a resilient PHD candidate at URI. Despite a challenging ski injury resulting in paralysis, Bonney’s unwavering determination has led to remarkable progress, including remote piloting of ROVs. His journey is a testament to resilience and perseverance, and we extend our heartfelt wishes for his continued recovery.
