Autonomous Ocean Monitoring: Talking with Lukas Schattenhofer

MarDATA doctoral researcher Lukas Schatternhofer recently took part in a research cruise aboard RV METEOR to Santorini, where autonomous MOLA landers were deployed on the seafloor to record and analyze seismic activity.

In this interview, he discusses his role in developing intelligent underwater sensor networks, how onboard data analysis and digital twins are shaping the future of marine monitoring, and why these technologies hold great promise for long-term observation and early-warning systems beneath the waves.
