UBAT

The objective of this research is to produce a scalable, reliable, and accurate (in terms of sensing parameters and capabilities) in situ bioluminescence sensor that can be integrated onto a variety of coastal ocean platforms, including AUV's, moorings, and vertical profilers.

Specifically, our goal is to transition the bioluminescence sensing technology based on the Multipurpose Bioluminescence Bathyphotometer (MBBP-G3) sensor developed at UCSB, and to further develop and refine this technology to produce a commercially available bioluminescence sensor.
