[NT 15000229]:	Many remote sensing systems are limited in capabilities and deployment duration times due to the lack of energy provided by the on-board battery. With many of these remote systems traveling vast distances for an extended period of time, it is difficult to maintain high data resolution without sacrificing battery life. Furthermore, systems such as marine animal telemetry tags are constructed in such a way that it is difficult, and in some cases impossible, to replace/charge the battery after recapture. Such systems could be significantly enhanced through the application of energy harvesting, enabling them to be indefinitely sustained and reusable if recaptured. A simple and generally disregarded form of energy harvesting for use in marine environments is solar energy harvesting. Up to this point, underwater solar energy harvesting has generally been ignored simply due to the drop in solar radiance that is incident to the solar cells when placed underwater. This thesis presents an assessment model that has the capability of accurately estimating the energy output of a solar cell, both globally and in submarine environments. In addition, this assessment model is not limited to fixed location solar energy estimates, but also has the capability to estimate the solar energy for spatially migrating sensors. In this thesis, the theory and assumptions behind the model are thoroughly explained, as well as the experimental methods and results used to validate the assessment model. Lastly, the assessment model is demonstrated by estimating the viability of underwater solar energy harvesting capabilities for telemetry tags mounted to two different marine species. Each of these case studies used measured global position and depth-time histories, which were obtained and used as inputs for the assessment model. In addition to marine telemetry systems, this assessment method could be used for a wide variety of systems requiring remote and extended deployments above and below the ocean's surface.
