+We are excited to share that a paper telling the complete story of our lab's work with dense 3D underwater mapping using a stereo pair of (orthogonally oriented) imaging sonars has been published in the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10742648">IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering</a> (a preprint of the paper is available on <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.03760">arXiv</a>). This work, 
+led by John McConnell, was demonstrated via field experiments conducted at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek in VA (pictured above, alongside a sonar-derived 3D map of the structures visible in the photo), Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, PA, and SUNY Maritime College in Bronx, NY, and builds on our earlier papers published at <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9340995">IROS 2020</a> (McConnell, Martin and Englot) and <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9560737">ICRA 2021</a> (McConnell and Englot). 
+ The custom-instrumented BlueROV underwater robot used in this work, and its mapping capabilities, were recently highlighted in a both a <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IovJYX44URs">video filmed by ASME</a>, and in a <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://www.stevens.edu/news/these-underwater-robots-are-mapping-where-you-dont-want-to">Stevens news article</a>.
