Illuminating the Hidden Planet

National Research Council, Commission on Geosciences Environment and Resources, Ocean Studies Board, Committee on Seafloor Observatories Challenges and Opportunities

Despite our reliance on the ocean and its resources, it remains a frontier for scientific exploration and discovery. Seafloor observatoriesa unmanned systems of instruments, sensors, and command modulesa will have power and communication capabilities to provide support for spatially distributed sensing systems and mobile platforms. Illuminating the Hidden Planet is a voyage to the bottom of the sea, advancing oceanographic science further through long time-series measurements, to discover the mysteries of the deep that have, until now, avoided scientific opportunity.
