  • Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology are using a blend of cutting-edge autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and tried-and-tested water sampling tools to study the spring-formed phytoplankton blooms in the Arctic,

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking study in the Arctic Ocean where researchers utilized an underwater robot drone equipped with a century-old tool, the Secchi disk, to investigate algal blooms. This innovative approach allowed scientists to measure water clarity and light penetration, crucial factors for understanding the dynamics of algal blooms. The study, published in the journal Nature, revealed that these blooms, which are vital for the marine ecosystem, are influenced by changes in water clarity due to melting sea ice. The use of the Secchi disk, traditionally used for measuring water transparency, combined with modern technology, provided insights into how light availability affects phytoplankton growth, potentially impacting the entire food web in Arctic waters. This research underscores the importance of integrating historical scientific methods with contemporary technology to address current environmental challenges.
