Frontiers in Deep-Sea Equipment and Technology

Dear Colleagues,

The conflict between population, resources and environment in twenty-first century made the ocean the strategic space and resource treasure of human society to realize sustainable development. In order to study the ocean environment and exploit the ocean resources, a fundamental understanding of complex and interwoven ocean processes across a broad range of spatial and temporal observational scales is required. This is heavily relied on various research fleet and equipment to support increasingly complex, multidisciplinary, multi-investigator research projects, including those in support of autonomous technologies, ocean observing systems, process studies, remote sensing, and modeling. Various underwater submersibles are the main working force for the research fleet. In this Special Issue, relevant experts are invited to report the latest progress on Frontiers in Deep-Sea Equipment and Technology.
