Underwater diving technologies available through the Center include occupied submersibles, remotely operated vehicles (ROV's), and Nitrox scuba. NURC-NAGL specializes in development of sampling technologies that increase the utility of submersible vehicles, in particular, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems. Purpose: The research program focuses on ecosystem function (nutrient cycling, predator-prey interactions, sediment transport, and aquatic community dynamics) and responses to human induced stress (including fishing effects); impact of pollution on the environment and the role of habitat in sustaining fisheries and biological diversity.
