A team of ocean robots developed at the 91̽»¨is the first group of self-guided ocean instruments to travel under an ice sheet and come back to report long-term observations.

91̽»¨glaciologist Knut Christianson is part of a massive collaboration that will collect on-the-ground data about a key Antarctic glacier that shows signs it could be collapsing into the sea.

A new partnership between the 91̽»¨and Paul G. Allen Philanthropies will use a network of robots to observe conditions beneath a floating Antarctic ice shelf.
