Topics for the all-day event include tidal predictions, an autonomous surface and sub-surface system for low-cost shore-based full water column surveys, charting for fishing around the UK, crowd-sourced bathymetry, a new long-term solution to biofouling, in-situ fluorescence measurement, use of USVs for acoustic monitoring of marine mammals, mobile weather stations, and remote sensing technologies for hydrocarbon detection, monitoring and modelling in real-life oil spill exercises.
Attendance fee inclusive of refreshments is GBP45 per head with delegates also having the opportunity to network and tour BP’s Learning Centre complex, including its drill simulator and HD distance learning facilities.
