became the Liverpool Tidal Institute. It led development of the methods of tidal prediction used world-wide today. It broadened its research over the years into prediction of storm surges and then sea level science more generally, as well as coastal and continental shelf sea oceanography and marine data management.In 1965 both the NIO and the Liverpool Tidal Institute became part of the then newly-formed Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Both were brought together to form NERC’s Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (IOS) in the 1970s. Both former parts of IOS came back together in 2010
A New Approach to Studying the Air-Sea Flux
researchers propose a governance framework and a core steering committee comprising three leadership committees to lead the network. Each leadership committee will be made up of stakeholders across what they consider are the three crucial aspects to delivering ocean data using USVs: science, data management and public-private partnerships.To date, the network committee comprises the co-authors of the paper. They meet intermittently to share news and ideas and to work on collaborative funding proposals.A core committee will be formed within the next 12 months.“This paper is a first step in
Kongsberg Discovery Technology Sets Sail On One Ocean Expedition Research Voyage
and understand unique ocean environments, including the waters of the legendary Northwest Passage.Onboard systems now include 75 and 300 kHz ADCPs, EK80 Echo Sounders, an advanced hydrophone cluster, and the Seapath GNSS-aided inertial navigation system, while Blue Insight, a cutting-edge ocean data management and analytics platform, will process and share captured data with land-based teams daily. In addition, a wide range of equipment, such as weather stations, water samplers, situational awareness, and motion reference units, has also been integrated.The One Ocean Expedition 2025-2026 is a 12-month
Kongsberg Discovery Launches Digital “Librarian”
massive data streams from a wide range of environmental, meteorological and acoustic sensors.“Survey teams are busy enough without wrestling with incompatible formats and fragmented systems,” comments Audun Berg, EVP of Kongsberg Discovery. “Geomatics takes the hassle out of data management, giving users a single, intuitive platform that lets them focus on the mission – simplifying complexity and optimizing efficiency.“Think of it as the perfect librarian for ocean data: one that makes sure all data is correctly filed, easy to find, and displayed clearly, for all relevant
£4M Investment to Enhance Marine Robotics Research Capabilities
Innovation (AASI) initiative, which aims to show how innovation in marine sensor technology can be translated into deployable autonomous research capabilities.The funding will support three cutting-edge sensor development projects: integrating these sensors into autonomous platforms, enhancing data management systems, and targeting comprehensive validation trials by the summer of 2026.The three sensor projects are:Autonomous Sensors for fast In-situ Measurements of nutrient Ocean Variables (ASIMOV) – led by Dr Allison Schaap, will increase the performance, speed, and reliability of nitrate

others.Throughout the operations, the results were uploaded to UTEC’s proprietary iSite Subsea portal, enabling the project team to swiftly interpret inspection results.For more than ten years, above-water asset owners have been using iSite, the market-leading collaborative virtual asset and data management platform.UTEC has now developed this core platform to create iSite Subsea, designed specifically to meet the needs of the offshore renewable energy market, and its new capabilities were demonstrated on this project.“Successful completion of the first year of this contract with SGRE is
New Autonomous Timelapse Camera Includes Hibernation Mode
intuitive software and visual script builder, users can easily set up timelapse schedules and customize camera programming to meet specific deployment needs. The system also supports embedded metadata (EXIF) for each image, logging crucial information such as date, time and sensor data.Streamlined data management features enable fast, secure downloads and provide adjustable directory and file structures for efficient data review. These tools simplify the process of organizing large datasets, ensuring that critical information is easy to access and analyze.The system supports extended underwater
