The Mercy Underwater Research Team is a group of students who work together to further underwater research by designing, building, and ultimately deploying remote-controlled submarines (also known as ROVs, or remotely operated vehicles). The primary research project is in the pools and waterways deep underground at Mammoth Cave. Team members meet every other week for lab sessions, and approximately once a month (depending on weather) in the fall and spring, they visit the cave for research trips. If you are interested in designing and building submarines, learning more about the geology and biology of cave waters, or both, please contact Dr. Wong or Mr. Burton.
