What can we learn from the ocean? Lots, if we listen.

This summer, UNH and partners deployed a cabled ocean observing system near the Isles of Shoals a powerful new tool that will measure the coastal Gulf of Maine environment. The platform of sophisticated acoustic and oceanographic sensors will transmit data in real time for the first time in this region.

Located 10 miles offshore and three miles east of Appledore Island, the system’s sensors will detect human and marine mammal activity, wind and precipitation, sea ice dynamics, and oceanographic features, with implications for national security, energy development, and commercial fisheries.

Funded with a $6.2 million grant from the Office of Naval Research, the solar-powered system comprises three elements: an underwater platform that hosts ten sensors, solar panel and data acquisition systems on Appledore Island, and a subsea cable that connects the two.

“Measurements made with this valuable ocean asset will serve as a baseline for analyses of environmental conditions in this busy, productive area of the Gulf of Maine,” says project lead Jennifer Miksis-Olds, director of UNH’s Center for Acoustics Research and Education. “As the first of its kind on the East Coast, this will expand our understanding of the ocean in real time.”

The cabled ocean observing system represents powerful partnerships between many local and national collaborators, including New Hampshire-based SubCom, JASCO Applied Sciences, and Shoals Marine Lab, a field station and undergraduate marine science facility jointly operated by UNH and Cornell University.
