What’s more fun than streaming your latest TV shows? The live streaming of multibeam seafloor mapping by Australia’s dedicated blue-water research vessel Investigator in the Coral Sea Marine Park.

With licenced and free software installed ashore and aboard, shore-based PIs on projects can watch Kongsberg multibeam data acquisition, and occasional deep-towed camera streaming, during ‘The Coral Sea frontier’ expedition.

Many thanks to Chief Scientist Dr Will White and his science party, the CSIRO team and ship’s crew. We acknowledge the use of the CSIRO Marine National Facility and grant of sea time on RV Investigator in undertaking this research.
