Abstract

C'est en France que l'archéologie des mondes engloutis a vu le jour à la fin des années 1940 et c'est en France que fut créé, en 1966, le premier service de recherches archéologiques sous-marines au modne, le DRASSM, doté dès 1967 du navire "L'Archéonaute". Des grottes paléolithiques ennoyées aux grands vapeurs du XIXe siècle, des cargaisons d'amphores romaines aux frégates de Monsieur de la Pérouse perdues en 1788 dans le Pacifique Sud, d'un buste en marbre de César aux lingots d'or des Compagnies des Indes, il n'est guère de patrimoines sous-marins que les spécialistes du DRASSM n'aient un jour côtoyés. À l'heure où le navire "André Malraux" s'apprête à remplacer "L'Archéonaute", il a paru opportun d'explorer la mémoire de ces décennies prodigieuses qui ont vu naître et se perfectionner un métier. Consigner la naissance de l'"André Malraux", raconter à cette occasion les lieux, les hommes, les anecdotes secrètes qui ont fait l'histoire de l'archéologie sous-marine, donner la parole à ceux qui en ont écrit les plus belles pages, tel est le propos de cet ouvrage.

Abstract

The importance of the oceans to life on Earth cannot be overstated. Liquid water covers more than 70% of our planet's surface and, in past geological time, has spread over 85%. Life on Earth began in the oceans over 3.5 billion years ago and remained there for the great majority of that time. Today the seas still provide 99% of habitable living space, the largest repository of biomass, and holds the greatest number of undiscovered species on the planet. Our oceans are vital for the regulation of climate, and with global warming and decreasing land area, they have become increasingly important as the source of food, energy in the form of oil and gas, and for their mineral wealth. Oceans also form a key part of the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and other elements critical to life. Nutrients in upwelling areas are spread by ocean currents, and the plankton of the seas supports a wealth of wildlife. 0In this 'Very Short Introduction' Dorrik Stow analyses these most important components of our blue planet and considers their relationship with, and exploitation by, humans. He shows how the oceans are an essential resource to our overpopulated world, and discusses why exploration and greater scientific understanding of the oceans, their chemistry, and their mineral wealth are now a high priority.

Abstract

The present analysis examines the legal framework for marine scientific research with a focus on research platforms. Oceanographers find themselves faced with a complex set of provisions governing their activities not only in waters of foreign jurisdiction. As the riches of the oceans have become known to decision-makers in coastal States, international action has set the course for an ever tighter regulation of the sea uses. Part XIII is analysed with respect to the remaining freedoms of research. In addition, the book provides an overview of air and space law relevant to research activities, and their relationship with the 1982 LOS Convention. Other international instruments are analysed for their significance in the context of customary law. Examination of possible safeguards for research activities contained in Part XIII and XV (dispute settlement) complements the legal analysis of the 1982 LOS Convention. Mutual trust and co-operation within regional organizations are, in conclusion, the most promising avenues for a more favourable research climate. The book addresses a legal and scientific audience, which, at a practical or academic level, deals with the law of the sea at large and the regime of marine scientific research in particular.

Abstract

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are remarkable machines that revolutionized the process of gathering ocean data. Their major breakthroughs resulted from successful developments of complementary technologies to overcome the challenges associated with autonomous operation in harsh environments. Most of these advances aimed at reaching new application scenarios and decreasing the cost of ocean data collection, by reducing ship time and automating the process of data gathering with accurate geo location. With the present capabilities, some novel paradigms are already being employed to further exploit the on board intelligence, by making decisions on line based on real time interpretation of sensor data. This book collects a set of self contained chapters covering different aspects of AUV technology and applications in more detail than is commonly found in journal and conference papers. They are divided into three main sections, addressing innovative vehicle design, navigation and control techniques, and mission preparation and analysis. The progress conveyed in these chapters is inspiring, providing glimpses into what might be the future for vehicle technology and applications.
