Crisis not Affecting Oceanography

  11/03/2010
Oceanology International has grown, even this year. The exhibition space increased with 5% compared to the last edition, two years ago. And there is optimism in the market, an informal survey by Hydro International amongst vistors and exhibitors shows. ‘The feeling of the market certainly not is in a crisis'.

Young ocean professionals conducting market survey

The general forecast and current feeling of the market is optimistic. A cause could be that research and governmental involvement are drivers of the sector. Young students of Willem Barentsz Maritime Intistute made their market survey together with the Dutch Ocean Group, giving them an insight on the development of their future.

 

The general feeling of optimism is there on the trade floor and during social events when the doors of Excel Centre are closed. After the networking party on Tuesday evening, the networking continues in bars and restaurants as several companies organise their own socials.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion

Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
