Nereus, a remotely operated vehicle, is set to travel to some of the deepest and coldest parts of the sea to find out exactly how our aquatic environments are changing–and how to fix it. Humans have stepped foot on the moon more times than we’ve been to the deepest floors of our oceans. As science looks to survey new species, prospect minerals, and monitor how climate change is altering the depths, engineers need to find new ways to get us there, or at least send our mechanical eyes and ears.
