EV Nautilus: Undersea Navigation [Animation]
E/V Nautilus and ROV Hercules are each equipped with transponders to signal or ping to each other to provide a signal or range bearing. This method of "talking" to each other is used to determine and keep track of the location of the ROV.
EV Nautilus: Tectonic Plates [Animation]
Convection, the movement of fluid beneath Earth's crust, drives the planet's tectonic plates. This process can result in seafloor spreading, which can result in the formation of new areas of oceanic crust.
EV Nautilus: Seamount Formation [Animation]
Did you know that underwater mountains are called seamounts? This teaching animation explains how seamounts- and related features like guyots -are formed by geological processes by examining the Hawaiian Island Chain.
EV Nautilus: Seafloor Mapping [Animation]
When exploring little-known regions of the ocean, we often need to create our own maps to plan efficient and safe operations. Resource type: website, reference.
EV Nautilus: ROV Thrusters [Animation]
ROV Hercules moves through the water using several thrusters that propel water, enabling the vehicle to move up, down, forward, backward, left, and right.
EV Nautilus: Ocean Zones [Animation]
Did you know that you can divide the ocean into five general zones? This teaching animation examines the ocean zones determined based on environmental factors such as light and pressure and what kind of diversity is found in each one.
EV Nautilus: Ocean Drifters [Animation]
Ocean drifters measure currents and other parameters, such as temperature and salinity, to further deepen our understanding of the oceanic environment. Resource type: website, reference.
EV Nautilus: Dual Body ROV System [Animation]
Did you know that when using ROVs to explore the deep sea, sometimes two are better than one? In this teaching animation, you can learn about the dual-body ROV system used by ocean explorers to safely and efficiently explore the seafloor.
EV Nautilus: Diel Vertical Migration [Animation]
Did you know that the largest migration on Earth actually occurs vertically in the ocean? This teaching animation explains the phenomenon known as diel vertical migration and how it plays an integral role in ocean ecology.
EV Nautilus: Deep Sea Pressure [Animation]
Imagine holding 15 jumbo jets at once! That's about the pressure pushing in on our ROVs at the deepest depths of Nautilus exploration. These forces and their scientific implications are important to consider when exploring never-before-seen oceanic territory.
EV Nautilus: Ship & ROV System [Animation]
Learn about the E/V Nautilus and ROVs Hercules and Argus in this teaching animation that outlines each vessel's specifications.
Oil Spill Facts for Kids (Animation)
Oil spills have occurred many times each year since the 1970s. Learn what causes these destructive and deadly accidents, how they affect the environment, and about some of the most infamous oil spills of all time.
