To achieve effective management and understanding of risks associated with increasing
anthropogenic pressures in the ocean, it is essential to successfully and efficiently collect
data with high spatio–temporal resolution and coverage. Autonomous Underwater
Vehicles (AUVs) are an example of technological advances with potential to provide
improved information on ocean processes. We demonstrate the capabilities of a lowpower
AUV buoyancy glider for performing long endurance biological and environmental
data acquisition in Northern Norway. We deployed a passive acoustic sensor system
onboard a SeagliderTM to investigate presence and distribution of cetaceans while
concurrently using additional onboard sensors for recording environmental features
(temperature, salinity, pressure, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll a). The hydrophone
recorded over 108.6 h of acoustic data during the spring months of March and April
across the continental shelf break and detected both baleen and o.....
