A team of robotics students and researchers traveled to Svalbard on a mission to investigate sub-surface structures beneath the sea ice. Their studies at Svalbard is important for understanding the complex interactions between sea ice, oceanic properties, and climate change. For this research expedition, the team has deployed a double Blueye ROV setup and a single Blueye ROV equipped with Aqua TROLL multiparameter sensor.

This winter, NTNU and UNIS had a unique opportunity to explore beneath the frozen surface. Their research at Svalbard centered on understanding the processes occurring below the ice and studying different sea ice features in Van Mijenfjorden, particularly during winter time.
