The ocean provides about half of the oxygen necessary for humans to survive. Scientists at Oregon State University wanted to better understand how plankton populations in the ocean will respond to climate change. To study plankton populations, they developed a new way of photographing large populations of these creatures at sea, using PSC’s Bridges-2 system to analyze and identify plankton. They’ve now adapted this AI classifier to use in an onboard computer, giving them the ability to redirect their cruises on the fly, with deeper analysis using Bridges-2 back on land.
