British Scientists Launch Climate Change Monitoring Robot Gliders In Atlantic Ocean

Meet Ammonite, Bellamite and Coprolite. You’ve probably never heard of them before (and may not hear much about them thereafter), but these three robots, part of a growing fleet of so-called Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), could soon become a potent tool in global efforts to forestall the worst of climate change.
