Let There Be Life

With a brand new ROV in tow, a team of leading scientists returned to the largely unexplored Mariana Back-Arc to search for life at depths greater than 13,000 feet. New observations show that the re- gion’s recently discovered hydrothermal vent sites have an ecosystem entirely its own, home to some animal species found nowhere else on Earth. www.marinetechnologynews.com/ news/scientists-unexplored-ocean- depths-543758

Let There Be Power

Ocean, a newly launched open source software package pro-

DT duced through a collaborative project funded by the European Commission, aims to assist project developers to design wave and tidal energy arrays by identifying optimal layouts, com- ponents and procedures. “Access to high quality design tools is a prereq- uisite for reducing costs in complex engineering projects, such as such as wave and tidal arrays,” said Henry Jef- frey, coordinator of the DTOcean proj- ect. “With the world’s ? rst ocean en- ergy arrays now under construction, the launch of DTOcean is very timely.” http://www.marinetechnologynews.
