Supporting marine renewable energy (MRE) research with live data from buoy networks
The nearshore and offshore regions running from the shallow coastal shelf to the intertidal zone are dramatic, tempestuous and extremely complex environments that offer the potential to reliably provide vast amounts of renewable energy to most coastal countries in one form or another. In order to be able to harnes…
SeaTrac beacons use robust spread-spectrum acoustic communications and the latest advances in low-cost high-speed signal processing to deviler outstanding performance in a small form factor.
Meet Marlyn, the go-anywhere mapping solution made by surveyors, for surveyors
In 2010 and 2011, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC), acquired bathymetry and acoustic-backscatter data from the outer shelf region of the eastern Santa Barbara Channel, California. These surveys were conducted in cooperation with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). BOEM is interested in maps of hard-bottom substrates, par…
