Products

Woods Hole Group focuses on: Coastal Sciences, Engineering & Planning; Applied Ecology; and Oceanography & Measurement Systems.

Ocean observations are at the heart of Woods Hole Group’s technology profile, including real-time data for safe and efficient marine operations. Teams design, build, deploy, and operate meteorological and oceanographic buoys, moorings, and platform-based systems. The WatchDog™ metocean system improves data quality and reduces maintenance costs. Woods Hole Group contracts with individual port operators and NOAA to measure water level, current speed, water quality, and bridge air gap to ensure safe navigation and improve maritime commerce. Archived data provide the basis for engineering design criteria and scientific data analysis. Woods Hole Group has proprietary software to turn raw data into the information required by maritime decision-makers.

As a turnkey engineering company for coastal infrastructure (beach nourishment, coastal structures, wetlands restoration, and dredging), numerical models are applied to understand existing conditions and optimize engineering designs. Modeling technologies are offered for tidal current circulation and water quality, wave generation and transformation, sediment/contaminant transport and fate, and storm surge/sea level rise simulations. Relying on sound engineering judgment and field measurements for calibration, Woods Hole Group has proven the utility of numerical models for sustainable project durability, and reducing client expenditures.
