Our guest is Dr. Richard Camilli, associate scientist from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the principal investigator of an expedition to robotically explore the undersea volcanoes of Santorini, Greece, featured in episode 3 of the NASA+ documentary series: Our Alien Earth. Dr. Camilli and his interdisciplinary team are researching how fleets of robotic vehicles can embody the mind of a scientist, exploring, analyzing, and adapting to new environments without human intervention; a key step for NASA's future plans to explore ocean worlds and search for signs of alien life. You can watch the full episode documenting one of Richard's incredible voyages at sea now on NASA+ ().
