An award is made to Texas A&M University refine an oceanographic data recorder (ODR) and work with a company to make them commercially available to the biological and oceanographic communities. This project will train graduate and undergraduate interns in the use of the ODR. The graduate students will also participate in field tests. The instruments will be used to teach undergraduate students, including underrepresented groups, about ocean science. The oceans are a key element in understanding global climate and its potential effects on human society. The development and commercial availability of these instruments will contribute to this understanding.The ODRs can be attached to marine mammals, sea turtles, penguins and large fishes that range throughout the world's oceans and record detailed oceanographic data, especially in areas that are not frequently visited by research vessels. Data recorded by these instruments will provide valuable information on the world's oceans and climate. Most sub-surface oceanographic data have been obtained from ship-based surveys and the deployment of instruments that drift on the sea surface. Animal-borne instruments such as the ODR provide a low cost alternative for augmenting these data.

德克萨斯 A&M 大学获得了一项奖项，该大学改进了海洋数据记录仪 (ODR)，并与一家公司合作，将其商业化提供给生物和海洋学界。该项目将培训研究生和本科生实习生如何使用 ODR。研究生还将参加现场测试。这些仪器将用于向本科生（包括代表性不足的群体）教授海洋科学知识。海洋是了解全球气候及其对人类社会潜在影响的关键要素。这些仪器的开发和商业可用性将有助于这种理解。ODR 可以附着在遍布世界海洋的海洋哺乳动物、海龟、企鹅和大型鱼类上，并记录详细的海洋学数据，特别是在不经常访问的区域由研究船。这些仪器记录的数据将提供有关世界海洋和气候的宝贵信息。大多数地下海洋学数据是通过船基调查和海面漂移仪器的部署获得的。 ODR 等动物源性仪器为增强这些数据提供了一种低成本替代方案。
