Equipment we use for taking samples of rocks and animals
| ROV Tiburon
The remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Tiburon is our most crucial piece of equipment. It is shown sitting on the closed moonpool doors of our ship, the R/V Western Flyer.
For this expedition, ROV Tiburon will be rigged with custom-made light booms and a downward-pointing, high-resolution camera (green arrow). This equipment will be used, along with a precision ROV-control system developed at Stanford University, to produce large-scale photo-mosaic images of the seafloor and the wreck site.
