Join Dr. Scott Lorganger for a discussion on broadband acoustic backscatter applications in research and industry. We will be meeting in person as well as virtually - please RSVP for a zoom link. 
 

Title: Applications of Broadband Acoustic Backscatter

Abstract: Broadband acoustic backscatter is capable of detecting, identifying, and quantifying a vast array of targets in the marine environment. What started as a tool for fisheries biomass estimation, has evolved into a system for identifying fish species, quantifying oil…

Join CSignum for a Technical Forum on their work with Electromagnetic Field Signaling (EMFS). CSignum harnesses EMFS for wireless data transmission between digital sensors and control systems installed ‘down there’ in water or in the ground with the world’s data networks and computing resources used 'up here'. By transmitting wirelessly through the surface of water, EMFS eliminates cables and their manual alternatives - finally making it possible to optimize what we learn by connecting the ocean with our labs.

Representatives from RBR are coming to town for a Scripps Technical Forum and Happy Hour Wednesday, September 18.  

Happy Hour will start 4:30pm at Shore Rider in La Jolla. Please RSVP and submit your questions in advance to spark a technical conversation!  More info and abstract below.

Join Exail for this case study investigating the application of autonomous platforms in ocean sciences and fisheries research, spanning from remote bathymetric surveys in the Pacific Ocean to assessments of offshore wind farm sites along the Atlantic coast of the United States.

They will present findings from two case studies: first, a multi-vehicle operation that involved mapping the seabed and remotely controlling…

Join the Corporate Alliance team at the Scripps Pier for an in-water demo of Seasats' autonomous surface vehicle, Lightfish. Lightfish products have been deployed to monitor algal blooms, map undersea bathymetry, patrol restricted harbors, and more. In June, a Lightfish completed a fully autonomous mission from San Diego to Hawaii, a voyage that lasted over two months and covered 2,500 miles. Attendees will meet a Lightfish coming in from offshore, take the sticks to drive it around, and then have a close look at it on the pier.

In this presentation, East View Geospatial (EVG) will share how they provide a wide range of vector and raster products produced from authoritative maritime and hydrographic sources to support the GIS-fluent research and analytical community. Known to navigators worldwide, vector-based Electronic Navigation Charts (ENCs) and their raster cousins RNCs have long provided unique and useful content to non-navigational users, just like print nautical charts before them. However, the legal requirements and technology evolution connected with supporting the navigation community have come at the…
