Science & Research
Jetyak would not exist if it were not for the ingenuity of a community of Scientists, Engineers and Researchers, at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and cooperating partners.
Collectively, their novel applications drove the inspiration, development and refinement of the Jetyak from prototype vessels to the current developed platform. A sample of their publications are listed below. If there is an opportunity for collaborative research - reach out - they would be happy to hear from you!
