AI Powered Underwater Robots Exploring Methane Seeps for Climate Studies
The impact of climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and understanding the dynamics of greenhouse gases is vital in mitigating its effects. Among these gases, methane is particularly concerning due to its potency as a greenhouse gas—over 25 times more effective than carbon dioxide over a century. Recent advancements in technology, especially in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, have opened new avenues for studying methane emissions, especially from underwater seeps. This article delves into how AI-powered underwater robots are revolutionizing climate studies by exploring these methane seeps.
