Heated Seep Sampler for Methane Collection
­The Woods Hole Heated Seep Sampler is designed to circumvent the challenges below by pre-heating seawater within a sample collection funnel and continuing to heat a collected sample following accumulation, thereby preventing hydrate formation at depth. The sampler can also be configured with an unheated funnel for the collection of samples at depths...

RotoBOD
­Bench-top instrument to measure oxygen consumption in small, suspended samples. The design utilizes a motor to rotate 60 gas-tight incubation bottles horizontally at user-determined speeds. It enables particles to stay in suspension through constant rotation to better replicate the activity the particles would show in their normal environment....

CUREE AUV: Enabling Rapid Autonomous Coral Reef Surveys and Analysis
­CUREE AUV is designed to autonomously conduct visual surveys of coral reefs, which can be repeated consistently to monitor changes over time. CUREE is one-man portable and easily deployed from small boats without the use of cranes. Once deployed, CUREE tightly follows the coral reef terrain from 1-2m altitude, capturing high-resolution imagery...

Sensor for Aqueous Gases in the Environment (SAGE)
SAGE supports field-portable, in-situ, space-constrained applications and bench-top measurements. The sensor can measure dissolved gases in liquids using only milliliters of the sample, producing a sample analysis time of only minutes, and can reach single ppm-level detection limits. In addition, using a hollow-core fiber optic sensor allows analysis...
