Abstracts
ABSTRACTS CLOSED
An abstract of 200 to 500 words in MS format should be uploaded via the workshop web page by this date and may include one or two illustrations or photo images. Your contribution should be of technical, not promotional nature. Abstracts are to be received by this date in order to be considered. Authors will be notified of abstract status shortly after receipt.
Topic Suggestions - other Topics are invited. Your abstract should be of technical, not promotional nature.
Developments in Moored System Capability and Reliability
It’s all about making critical measurements offshore, and getting data from the oceans and lakes back to shore. Areas of technological focus will include, but not be limited to:
LONG-TERM OBSERVING SYSTEMS
- NOAA: GLERL, CIGLR, GLOS
- NOAA: PMEL and NDBC
- U.S. IOOS Regional Buoy Programs
- JAMSTEC
- NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI)
- CSIRO
POWER
- Mooring Power Systems – Prediction, Modeling, Management, and Control
- Green Buoy Power Systems – Wind, Solar, Waves, …
- Marine Hydrokinetics – Systems for Harvesting the Energy of Waves and Currents
- Offshore Floating Wind Platforms, their Moorings and Cable Challenges
DATA
- Mooring Data Systems: Collection, Storage, and Retrieval – from Seafloor to Surface
- Mooring Telemetry – Inductive, Acoustic, Optical, …
- Shore Telemetry – Line of sight RF, Cell, Satellite, …
SENSING SYSTEMS
- Physical Oceanography, Meteorology, Air-Sea Interaction
- Biology, Chemistry, Geology
- Acoustics – Passive Acoustic Marine Mammal (PAM), Vessel Detection, Port Security
RELIABILITY AND HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
- Hydrodynamic Modeling of Mooring Systems
- Compliant Motion Absorbing Elements for Moorings
- Buoy Mooring Cables and their Terminations
- Through the Air-Sea Interface – it always breaks right under the buoy …
- Cold Climate Systems: Arctic and Antarctic Ice Buoy Systems and Components
- Low-impact moorings for environmentally sensitive sites
RELATED TOPICS
- Applicable Solutions and Experience from Offshore Oil Exploration Platform and Buoy Systems
- Docking Systems (AUV, Gliders)
- Air-Sea Deployment, Servicing and Retrieval, Service Life Prediction and Testing of Key Components
- Condensed Systems (same data, more sensors)
- Drones and Buoys
Format
The Speaker Program is organized in focused topical sessions consisting of 20-minute power-point presentations followed by a question and answer panel discussion. In addition to the Speaker Program, one afternoon will be set aside for site visits to the GLERL facilities engaged in active buoy programs.
Presentations
PRESENTATION MATERIAL DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 2018
Electronic copies of each Power-Point presentation material should be emailed to rickcole@rdsea.com with a copy to dpeters@whoi.edu by this date in order to be uploaded to the Workshop computer. Both the abstract and presentation material will be included in the Workshop Record. If you have any questions about abstracts and presentation material, e-mail either of the above.
