Two technological revolutions have transformed our understanding of the oceans over the last 40 years. The first, in the 1980s and 1990s, was the advent of satellite based remote sensing that provided views of the global ocean surface at spatial and temporal scales previously unimaginable. The second, in the 2000s and 2010s, was the development in genomic methods that provided new knowledge about oceanic life forms from the smallest viruses to the largest whales covering habitats from the surface to the seafloor. Despite these advances, the oceans remain woefully under sampled and oceanographers have yet to fully leverage recent and rapid advances in technology, inclusive of the advent of microfluidics, compact sensors, and autonomous robotic platforms. In addition, more recent advances in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Software Engineering, Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have shown promise in data and pattern analysis and made an impact in embedded machine intelligence. Yet ML/AI have had a peripheral impact for gathering and analyzing data and/or making informed decisions in the ocean sciences. Equally, the diverse science and technology communities associated with the use of such techniques—which include sensors technology, engineering, and physical and bio-chemical oceanography—have not yet had meaningful in-depth dialogs on how to leverage such advances in the context of ocean observations, as a way to move the needle forward to make observations at the vast spatial and temporal scales the oceans present.
