Behind the Scenes: Data Collection on E/V Nautilus

In this behind-the-scenes video, 2024 Science Communication Fellow Alice Chou gives us a tour of some of the lesser-explored areas of E/V Nautilus. Traverse the rack room (aka the “brain” that holds all of our data) and its dozens of servers capable of massive computing power. Next, check out the sonar room that acts as the home base for the ship’s multibeam sonar electronics. We invite you to learn more about the data systems that make ocean exploration possible and help us share the wonder of science with the world.
