Two NERC Autosub directed programmes have pushed the boundaries of what can be achieved with autonomous underwater vehicles. This work opens the possibilities of using AUVs for science in other ways within extreme environments. What would we like to be able to do in 10-15 years time?
The aim of this workshop was to concentrate on the science which has been undertaken in polar and other extreme environments using AUVs, then look forward into the next decade to explore what could be achieved with current technologies and what further developments are required.
