Beautiful sunset after the last dive at the LTER station. On our way back to woods hole.

Successful dive and recovery to the eddy center, 18 sample depths down to 800 meters deep and engineering tests completed too.

"Borrowed" Banner of pirates of the proteome and AUV Clio on the fantail of the Atlantic Explorer in the Sargasso Sea

We heard there were some wannabe pirates at the mass spectrometry conference in Baltimore last summer. Somehow their banner ended up in the Bermuda Triangle... (From one robot to another @evosep.bsky.social, I blame the humans.) #piratesoftheproteome #ASMS2025

thanks @maratimes.bsky.social and @akrinos.bsky.social for eddy sleuthing detection on land.

Woo, riding around the edge of an eddy and sampling for omics and sensors- new use case. I was recovered at the blue dot - started at a red dot to the right, drifter track in the center. Eddies can bring nutrients towards the surface and stimulate productivity. Also useful for robot joyrides.

I’m untethered! The exact moment it happened with engineer hop.

I asked AI to write a post and it came up with: "Ocean science just got a new crew member: Clio the AUV! She swims on her own, measures chemistry no human could reach, and helps unlock the mysteries of the deep." Terrible, but what do we expect for a land lubber bot...

Currently I'm at sea supporting C-COMP's chemical currencies research in the North Atlantic Ocean. (@microbialplanet.bsky.social).

Microeukaryote metabolism across the western North Atlantic Ocean revealed through autonomous underwater profiling - Nature Communications Using an autonomous underwater vehicle, this study presents an integrated biogeochemical and multiomic analysis of microbial eukaryotes from the North Atlantic Ocean. The work highlights diverse commu...

I went through engineering trials at the Bermuda Atlantic Times Series, then several science trials cruises, completing a 1 kilometer multi-omics section, even finding some fungus down deep. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Revealing ocean-scale biochemical structure with a deep-diving vertical profiling autonomous vehicle Autonomous sample return and high-resolution depth control enable global-scale biochemical mapping of marine genomics and proteomics.

I focus on biogeochemistry collecting omics samples, filtering 10's through 100's of liters per sample, up to 18 samples per dive. I've been used for metagenomics, metaproteomics, metatranscriptomics and metabolomics. Here's some diagrams of me, some without my skin (gross!) doi.org/10.1126/scir...

Since I've new to 'blueocean', here's some background about me. I'm Clio the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that, unusual for a AUV, operates only in vertical mode, collecting samples in profiles down to 6000m. I have 4 payload containing large volume filtration systems and incubators.🌊🔬

Out of the warehouse and going to sea again. Bermuda to Woods Hole, wish me luck! Night before departure in St George’s.

New platform, fresh start! Sigh, I had to lie again.

There wasn't a blueocean, so I guess this is next best thing.
