We present the results of experiments performed using a small autonomous underwater vehicle to determine the location of an isobath within a bounded area. The primary contribution of this work is to implement and integrate several recent developments real-time planning for environmental map-ping, and to demonstrate their utility in a challenging practical example. We model the bathymetry within th...
