We developed a software system for a high-precision magnetometer platform, specifically designed for human-occupied vehicles (HOVs). The system integrates magnetometers to deliver accurate magnetic field detection, with advanced features such as automatic probe switching and magnetic compensation. The system's performance was validated through rigorous laboratory tests and marine experiments on the Shenhai Yongshi platform. 

Our research introduces a technology for exploring subglacial lakes while keeping them isolated from surface contamination. The RECoverable Autonomous Sonde (RECAS) can drill ice both downward and upward, allowing clean water sampling. In some cases, the sonde should drill at specific angles to follow a trajectory, maintain verticality, or bypass obstacles. This paper describes the general principles of steering RECAS by adjusting the drill's heat distribution and the results of the experiments.

This research aims to tackle the issue of inconvenient clock synchronization in marine controlled source electromagnetic (MCSEM) operations with coaxial cables. This clock synchronization method in the manuscript that can be applied to scenarios where coaxial cables are used for MCSEM operations. We hope that in the future, MCSEM transmitters can be deployed on non-research vessels to reduce costs and broaden the scope of applications.

A new ground-based technique called "Distance of flight of cosmic-ray muons" for sensing the height of the layer of the Earth where cosmic-ray muons are generated called muopause which is closely related with the height of tropopause and lower stratosphere.

Ecosystems are sensitive to human presence. Robotic solutions greatly reduce related bias. We present an autonomous, modular aquatic robotic platform to collect environmental information from surface waters with autonomous navigation, data collection capability and sensor setups. The platform demonstrated its capabilities on Amazon Basin and on European lakes. Reproducible positioning, functionality under adverse weather conditions and during nighttime enhanced high-quality data acquisition.

Climate change in combination with a steadily growing world population and a simultaneous decrease in agricultural land is one of the greatest global challenges facing mankind. In this context, Forschungszentrum Jülich established an "agricultural simulator" (AgraSim), which enables research into the effects of climate change on agricultural ecosystems and the optimization of agricultural cultivation and management strategies with the aid of combined experimental and numerical simulation.
