About
Alick Thame is a leading figure in marine geoscience, specializing in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology for seabed characterization and geohazard assessment. His work focuses on deploying untethered submarine robots to conduct deepwater mapping surveys, enabling high-resolution imaging of the seafloor down to 150 meters. Thame’s major contribution lies in advancing AUV-based methods for the marine petroleum industry, where his surveys support exploration, environmental monitoring, and critical geohazard risk evaluation. His most-cited paper, "AUV technology for seabed characterization and geohazards assessment" (2015), has garnered 24 citations, reflecting its foundational impact on offshore engineering and marine geology. Thame’s research bridges robotics and geoscience, offering safer, more efficient alternatives to traditional ship-towed surveys. His work is instrumental in mitigating risks for subsea infrastructure, making him a key contributor to modern marine hazard assessment.
