On-Demand Research: Tailored Sampling and Data Collection by Expedition Audacity

Expedition Audacity is circumnavigating the globe—and we’re bringing the future of low-impact, high-impact research with us.

Our wind-powered research vessel offers an environmentally responsible alternative to diesel-hungry ships, delivering world-class science while reducing carbon footprints and protecting the ecosystems we study.

From polar waters to tropical coastlines, we provide flexible, frontier research services for scientists, NGOs, governments, and conservation groups. Whether you're on land, at sea, or somewhere in between—we’re the platform that gets your science done sustainably.

We collect massive environmental DNA and RNA samples using a custom 2,000L high-throughput system—non-invasive, high-resolution, and powerful enough to detect everything from microbes to whales. Ideal for biodiversity assessments, species monitoring, and tracking ecosystem health across vast regions.

We catalogue life in all its forms—known and unknown. Our prospecting techniques uncover rare, migratory, or invasive species and help identify genetic “hot zones” that deserve protection. Ideal for conservation genetics, pharmaceutical discovery, and ecosystem planning.

From whale songs to seismic shifts, our hydroacoustic systems capture the underwater soundscape. Monitor animal movement, detect noise pollution, and build acoustic habitat profiles critical for marine planning and mitigation.

We use high-res sidescan and multibeam sonar to map the seabed in stunning detail—habitats, wrecks, trenches, you name it. Ideal for geologists, archeologists, and marine spatial planners.

Our ROVs are rated to 1,000 metres and equipped for visual, physical, and biological sampling in some of the most inaccessible corners of the planet. From deep-sea coral to hydrothermal vents, if it’s there—we can find it, film it, and sample it.

We collect live data on salinity, pH, temperature, turbidity, and pollutants—streaming directly from some of the most remote locations on Earth. Perfect for long-term climate tracking or short-term hotspot assessments.

Got your own gear? Bring it aboard.

We offer full deployment, operation, and recovery support for custom equipment—from drifting buoys and underwater gliders to multi-sensor payloads. Our mobile platform reaches areas most vessels can’t. You just focus on the science—we’ll handle the logistics.

We turn DNA traces into hard evidence.

From identifying illegal fishing activity to proving the presence of endangered species in no-go zones, our forensic eDNA services support governments, marine patrol, and conservation groups with verifiable, courtroom-ready data.

Ethical. Non-invasive. Highly effective.

We monitor microplastics, heavy metals, oil, and other pollutants—offshore and along vulnerable coastlines. Whether you’re tracking a spill, validating environmental baselines, or measuring recovery, our mobile platform gets you the data you need fast.

We collect long-term data on currents, salinity, and thermal structure to help power climate models, resource management plans, and ecosystem restoration efforts.

From AUVs to satellite-linked sensors—we're your field team at sea.
