A new wave of smart technology is taking place in the undersea world. A article by Mashable, “Ocean Electronics: An Underwater Revolution”, gives an overview on some of the latest developments in oceanography and how they’re changing the way we do business. The article includes such topics as how to find oil and gas, deep sea mining, underwater drones and robots. It goes on to describe a variety of types of sensors that are being used to collect data from various depths, like subsea seismographs that can detect faults at great distances, or sonar systems that can dredge up ocean floor sediments far below the surface with great accuracy.
