From national security to new resource discovery, Earth’s unmapped oceans hold unanswered questions with global consequences. Could autonomous marine robots reveal what has long remained out of reach?

Marine technologies expert and Arctic expedition leader James Bellingham, executive director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Assured Autonomy, will explore this question and discuss his new book, How Are Marine Robots Shaping Our Future?, in conversation with NPR science correspondent Nell Greenfieldboyce, A&S ’94, ’95 (MA). 

How Are Marine Robots Shaping Our Future? is part of the Johns Hopkins Wavelengths series published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.
