An analysis of 483 remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives carried out along the Italian coast on hard substrata at mesophotic depths (40–200 m) allowed an overview of the rich sponge diversity (53 taxa) of the deep continental platform to be obt...

Numerical simulation of sediment transport and subsequent morphological evolution rely on accurate parameterizations of sediment characteristics. However, these data are often not available or are spatially and/or temporally limited. This study appro...

The efficacy of silencers in reducing piping noise is contingent upon the specific installation and operating environment. Among the various forms of silencers, the acoustic characteristics of dissipative silencers with sound-absorbing materials atta...

Understanding the salinity transport process around the sediment–water interface is important for water resources management in the upper reach of an estuary. In this study, we developed a baroclinic fluid dynamic model for investigating the fl...

As a new type of unmanned autonomous marine observation platform, underwater gliders (UGs) offer advantages such as low energy consumption and long operational ranges. However, during the gliding process, the complex marine environment often leads to...

We developed an untethered robotic tuna featuring tensegrity joints for the purposes of simplifying the design procedure, reserving enough internal space, reducing the frictional loss of structures and generating a relatively smooth fish body wave. T...

Communication with the underwater vehicles during their tasks is one of the most important issues. The need for real-time data transfer raises the necessity of developing communication systems. Conventional underwater communication systems, such as a...

A quantitative understanding of the migration of munitions and canonical objects in the nearshore is needed for the effective management of contaminated sites. Migrations of munitions with a density range of 2000 kg/m3 to 5720 kg/m3 were quantified i...

The maintenance of the surface of steel structures is crucial for ensuring the quality of shipbuilding cranes. Various types of wall-climbing robots have been proposed for inspecting diverse structures, including ships and offshore installations. Giv...

Nuclear power continues to hold great promise in the green revolution, however public opinion regarding its deployment is mixed. A submersible nuclear power station concept is presented here that is expected to allay many concerns that are holding ba...
