Outreach with a distance at Dynamic Earth event

Budding marine scientists at an event in Edinburgh’s Dynamic Earth become ocean explorers for the day by operating an underwater vehicle 120 miles away in a lab at SAMS. As part of the North Sea 3D event at the science centre, part of the Edinburgh Science Festival, SAMS staff gave over control of one of their remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which was sitting in a test tank in SAMS’ Scottish Marine Robotics Facility.
