_____________ ______________a discipline that studies human interaction with the sea, lakes
and rivers through the study of vessels, shore side facilities,
cargoes, and human remains.

This works by using signals from a network of satellites to determine your precise location on Earth. Each satellite broadcasts its location and time, and a GPS receiver
calculates the distance to each satellite based on the time it takes for the signal to reach
it. By measuring the distances from at least three satellites, the receiver can pinpoint your
location.
ROV
Cardinal Direction
GPS
AUV
AUV's are controlled by someone aboard a ship directing where they go
true
false
AUVs are untethered, self-propelled, and navigated by an onboard computer, allowing them to survey and explore underwater environments without human intervention.
true
false

sonar
lidar
satellite imagery
AUV's
Uses lasers to map the seafloor.
sonar
LIDAR
satellite imagery
AUV's
What is the first thing you should do when you want to search for a specific shipwreck?
aerial research
explore with an ROV
Historical Research
use satellite imagery
What is the one piece of information that is the most important in locating a shipwreck?
cargo the ship was carrying
