CoRAL: Collaborative Robotic Aquatic Laboratory
Continuous long-term observation of coral reefs is essential for gathering crucial data that helps determine the state of environmental health. Coral reefs support 25% of all marine species which makes it necessary that they be monitored for good health. Traditional methods of coral reef monitoring, such as diver-based surveys and airborne observatories,...

Statically Stable Hexapedal Walking Robot Platform
There are many obstacles in the way of exploring challenging environments (e.g., the lunar surface's permanently shadowed regions (PSRs)). The rocky terrain, steep inclines, and slick regolith that are typical in these places present challenges for traditional wheeled rovers. For these explorations to be effective, a vehicle needs to have low power,...

Streamflow Determination from Remote Sensing Imagery
The streamflow regime is a critical determinant of many ecological and hydrological processes and plays an important role for regulatory purposes. Three regime categories are often used to describe a river reach: perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral. This distinction has important consequences for water resource management, e.g., since the Clean...

High-Performance Portable Optical Clock
BackgroundThe device described here is best termed an optical frequency standard. This is a device that outputs a laser which has its frequency stabilised to a reference. This reference can either be an atomic/molecular resonance or a mechanical resonance in a macroscopic object. An atomic/molecular reference typically gives the optical frequency standard...
