USV Provides Near Real-Time Deep Ocean Current Observations

A new way to monitor previously hidden, but disruptive, deep ocean currents in near-real-time has been proven by a recently completed uncrewed technology collaboration in the US Gulf of Mexico.  In a science-industry first, marine technology companies Sonardyne and SeaTrac Systems used advanced sensors and uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) to deliver science-ready deep ocean current data on the Gulf’s Loop Current System, direct to scientists’ desks in near real-time.The project, commissioned and in collaboration with the University of Rhode Island (URI), opens the door to reliable

Ocean Energy: A Surge Coming in 2020

Ocean Energy Systems (OES) was launched in 2001 as a technology collaboration program of the International Energy Agency (IEA). It was created in response to increased ocean wave and tidal current energy activity primarily in Denmark, Portugal and the United Kingdom. The organization today consists of 25 members including specialists from government departments, national energy agencies, and research and scientific bodies. OES Chair Henry Jeffrey explains why the outlook for ocean energy advances looks particularly positive for 2020.In recent months OES has recorded major progress across the ocean

goes on and on.The shift is undoubtedly a global one, but nowhere is it better showcased than in the North Sea. While those working in the region are already among the most experienced and technologically advanced in the world, a recent report from PwC and Oil & Gas UK finds that innovation and technology, collaboration between operators and the supply chain, and partnership models are crucial to the changing of the guard presently underway, especially as a number of new low carbon solutions continue to gain traction.The report, Turning the Tide – the Transformation of the North Sea, published
