Scientists develop Seaglider technology to monitor ocean CO2 levels, aiding climate change research.

Scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks have developed a new technology to measure carbon dioxide levels in the ocean using an unmanned underwater vehicle called a Seaglider. Equipped with a CO2 sensor, the Seaglider sends data to satellites, offering continuous, high-resolution information for weeks. This advancement helps monitor ocean chemistry and understand the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification caused by human activities.
