Animation of ABE Mapping the Seafloor (2004)
This animation describes how the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) ABE is operated to map the seafloor. Sent along a predetermined survey pattern, the AUV uses multibeam sonar to collect data that is used to generate bathymetric maps.

Time-lapse animation sequence of hydrothermal vent system evolution (2004)
This animation shows the evolution of hydrothermal vent systems that occur at underwater volcanoes. Warm mineral-rich water released from the seafloor creates suitable habitat for organisms including tubesorms (Riftia pachyptila) and clams. Over time, the distribution of these organisms within their habitat can change, as individuals die and are replaced by others. Major disturbance to the ecosystem occurs during voclanic eruptions then the area is inundated with hot molten lava.
