Sonardyne is providing underwater positioning technology for the GIANT climate science mission, which aims to gather data on Greenland's glaciers. The mission will utilize a fleet of autonomous vehicles, including the RRS Sir David Attenborough and various AUVs, to operate in extreme environments and collect comprehensive data.
This initiative is significant as it involves 15 collaborating institutions and aims to improve climate models and early warning systems for ice loss in Greenland's fjords. The data collected will enhance understanding of tipping points that could impact global climate.
The GIANT mission, running from July to August, will focus on mapping and monitoring ocean temperatures and glacier movements. It will employ a connected observing system of underwater vehicles, robotic sensors, and drones to gather unprecedented measurements in challenging conditions.
