Marine scientists are a hardy bunch, but even they aren't keen on working amid 60ft waves in the depths of the Atlantic winter. Luckily next-generation ocean robots increasingly mean they don't have to.

Drones are helping NERC's British Geological Survey understand and monitor areas that are susceptible to landslides around the UK.
