Ocean 'wifi hotspots' allow scientists to further research

At the annual meeting of?American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston this Sunday (17 February 2013), Stanford marine sciences professor Barbara Block discussed a new method for "biologging" the activities of various sea creatures using wireless technology.

Using an innovative combination of miniaturized technologies and increased sensor capacity in conjunction with solar-powered wave gliders and mobile technologies, Block said her team is creating a "wired ocean" capable of delivering live feeds of animal movements.
