Computing Discharge in Real Time using the Q-Track Automated Continuous...

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 09:28:05 GMT

The Central Midwest Water Science Center has developed, installed, and operated an automatic system for computing discharge. The Q-Track system, as it is known, consists of a TRDI acoustic Doppler velocity meter (ADVM) attached to a carriage that traverses vertically on a track assembly on the side of the canal. The system is controlled by a data logger and computes discharge in real time. The Q-Track system is installed at a site that is the subject of much litigation and for which the discharge is very unsteady. The Q-Track system is being evaluated as an alternative to 'standard' approaches used by the USGS to compute continuous discharge records at this location. This talk will present the results of an evaluation of two methods for computing real-time discharge using the Q-Track system, the mid-section method and the horizontal slice method. The methods for computing discharge will be presented, along with the assumptions and limitations inherent in the method. The discharges computed using Q-Track are compared to the “official” discharge record at the site, which makes use of the index-velocity method.

Measured Flow Disturbance Around Different ADCPs and Mounts

Thu, 23 Jan 2020 09:57:05 GMT

NVE has mesured flow disturbance around various ADCPs and mounts/floats/trimarans to try to confirm or dispute previous studies by OSW, USGS. The background/reason for doing this is that after starting to use the OSW, USGS extrap/qrev software and alarming number of measurements show tat the vertical velocity distribution shall be constant/no-slip, and not power/power. The method has been to drive long reaches on a still lake and to compare the water velocities close to the instruments by the velocities at some depth. If no flow disturbance, they will be the same. If disturbed flow, there will be a difference.

Using Multibeam SONAR Technology Through the Life of Marine Construction...

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 09:07:29 GMT

In marine construction projects, work is often done “in the blind”. Using multibeam SONAR technology can aid this process in all phases of the project. Pre-construction scans can provide a base line look at an area. This can help put real numbers on quantities as well as highlight any anomalies in the project area that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. This additional information increases the accuracy of estimates and the effectiveness of planning. During the construction phase, multibeam SONARs mounted on construction barges can provide real-time progress updates allowing the operator to work with the most up to date information. The SONAR data integrates seamlessly with marine construction machine guidance software to create a total solution package. In the Post-construction phase, multibeam SONARs can be used to create As-Built surfaces of the finished product as well as validate that build specifications were met. This presentation provides recent, real-world examples of multibeam SONAR use during marine construction project phases as described.

The Technological Evolution of Dredging

Wed, 15 Jan 2020 13:10:31 GMT

From its inception in the late 1800's, the hydraulic, or pipeline, dredge has been the dominant machine used for near-shore and in-shore sediment transportation in the United States. These dredges were initially deployed to maintain sufficient channel depths to facilitate river navigation, port access and development. Infrastructure development after World War II created an inland market for sand and gravel mining dredges used in the production of concrete and asphalt. This material dredging market is at least an order of magnitude larger than the navigational dredging market in the US. Other public and consumer concerns, such as environmental remediation and coastal restoration, have created niche dredging strategies and equipment.

Hydraulic dredges have evolved from steam powered, manually controlled devices to sophisticated, energy efficient machines designed to present minimal negative effects on the environment. The equipment being manufactured today incorporates advanced algorithms to predict pipeline lengths, elevations, particle grain size, and required transport velocities. Many of these machines assist the operator in controlling the dredge's navigational path and speed as well as the production rate. In the next several months, several dredges in North America will be deployed with autonomous capabilities that include artificial intelligence and real-time sub-surface imaging and mapping with the primary goal of increased efficiency with less risk.

Teledyne RESON SeaBat T-Series Multibeam Sonars and Turbidity in Real-Time...

Fri, 10 Jan 2020 15:14:10 GMT

During most dredging operations, survey verification of having met grade and other contract requirements comes after the dredge has completed its work in a designated work area and hence moved on. What if the post-dredge survey reveals that the dredge has not fully met contract obligations? When this happens, the additional time, effort and expense to get the dredge back into position to remove what was missed can undermine the success of a project. What if the dredge operator could have “eyes under water” and confirm that grade requirements have been met before moving on?

During dredging operations, the material on the bottom is disturbed and released into the water column. Turbidity is a measure of the presence of suspended particulates. The more suspended solids in the water column, the higher the turbidity. High turbidity can create issues for sonar performance in that the suspended solids act as an acoustic reflector.
As barge mounted sonars are being used in the marine construction industry more frequently, dredge operators are considering the use of sonar to provide information in advance of post-dredge surveys. The “As-Building” benefits can be substantial but there is a concern over the effect turbidity can have on the acoustics.

Utilizing the Teledyne RESON SeaBat T-Series advanced bottom tracking abilities in various dredging operations, with varied levels of turbidity, we have begun to both demonstrate the value and quantify the limits of sonar usage during dredging operations. This presentation presents our results thus far.

River sediment transport monitoring by means of H-ADCP.

Mon, 17 Jun 2019 08:53:50 GMT

Monitoring stations in rivers and water courses are an important mean to obtain critical data about the different variables that play a role in the hydrodynamics and ecological processes. This is especially true during rough weather conditions when direct observations are not possible and even dangerous. A technique to determine the suspended sediment transport by means of fixed ADCPs at the side of a river channel (i.e., H-ADCP) is here presented. This technique relies on the Channel Master by Teledyne-RDI which continuously measures water velocity and echo intensity profiles along an horizontal alignment, these measurements are then transmitted to a remote server via GSM. In addition the proposed technique is based on an acoustic method to investigate poorly sorted sediment in the spectrum ranging from clay to fine sand. This combines the measurement of sound attenuation and backscatter to determine instrumental sensitivity to actual matter suspended in the horizontal alignment, thus relaxing the need of frequent calibrations to account for changes in the backscatter return not ascribable to a change in suspended sediment concentration, SSC. Last but not least a Matlab GUI was developed for the acoustic method implementation-validation and its coupling with discharge assessment using water velocity profiles from the Channel Master.

The overall technique was applied in two very different case studies: i) the Devoll river in Albania that is a typical mountain stream with flow velocity and SSC larger than 5 m/s and 10 g/l during floods, respectively, in this case the monitoring serves hydropower industry; ii) the Secchia river where the observed peaks were close to 1.5 m/s and 2 g/l, this is the case of an embanked stream flowing in one of the most populous and heavily built areas of Italy where the monitoring station serves the prediction of sediments deposition and erosion close to existing infrastructures (e.g., bridge and levee).

Experimental verification of underwater noise localization based on...

Wed, 20 Mar 2019 13:58:27 GMT

To improve the stealthiness of underwater vehicles, or reduce impacts of vessels on the marine environment, it is necessary to identify their noise sources. Furthermore, the proper acoustic control and management of underwater noise radiation of vessels is critical during the intended upgrades and operational service.

Near-field acoustic holography (NAH) is a technology that acquires sound pressure in the vicinity of the hull, which can be back-propagated to locate the hot-spot on the hull and forward-propagated to predict the far-field radiated noise of the vessel. With OROS Underwater Holography software, which is the only underwater NAH solution in the market, the use of NAH for noise localization and far-field prediction will be presented through the findings from an experimental study on a large scaled model. Considering the typical shape of underwater vehicles, cylindrical NAH is adopted to provide the highest accuracy. A partial circular array consisting of 25 RESON hydrophones is placed in the vicinity of the hull to measure sound pressure. A shaker excited at random is mounted in the hull to simulate a source, whose location is known. The acoustic maps generated from the experimental measurements show good correlation between the hot-spot location and the known source location, verifying the correctness and efficiency of NAH technology in naval applications.

IDH T-50, BV5000, and LiDAR Mobilization on a Fast Response USV for Canal...

Fri, 08 Feb 2019 09:25:32 GMT

The California Aqueduct is the principal water-conveyance structure of the California State Water Project. From the Sacramento River delta east of San Francisco, it runs south 444 miles (715 km) and is the world’s largest water-conveyance system. Channel sizes vary along the aqueduct, varying from 40 feet (12 meters) to 150 feet (45m) wide at the base, with 30 feet (9 meters) average depth of flow. Additionally, with its unique mixture of over chutes, under chutes, and utility crossings, it has a height clearance limit of 24 inches (0.60cm). Constructed starting in 1960, there are concerns that fluctuating land-surface elevations due to subsidence and uplift in the valley could cause serious operational-maintenance and design construction problems for the California Aqueduct surface-water delivery system. As a result, the California Department of Water Resources has undertaken this study to develop a greater understanding of the location, extent, and magnitude of subsidence along the California Aqueduct, as well as to help understand the relationship of groundwater levels and land subsidence. Since 2005, there have been three unsuccessful attempts to field test a vehicle capable of transiting the canal system with minimal need to recover the vehicle, while having the ability to carry high-resolution multibeam and LiDAR sensors. In December of 2017, Seafloor proposed the development of a 15 foot (4.5m) catamaran vehicle, capable of 8 hours endurance, less than 60cm in overall height, and capable of carrying an IDH T-50 multibeam and high resolution LiDAR sensor. This presentation will produce the results of that program.

Current and future applications of acoustic scanning in marine engineering...

Tue, 15 Jan 2019 08:29:01 GMT

The study highlights the advantages of using acoustic scanning in the survey of key walls, piles, defensive and other civil marine engineering structures, addresses existing and potential problems with this method and suggests a direction for future improvement. It is based on the summary of 25-year experience of marine engineering surveys by GT Corporation SE (Estonia) and its partners, with 10-year experience in acoustic scanning. The key distinction of mentioned application is in very rigorous quality requirements for engineering surveys, very small size (0.5-2cm) of details required, as well as technical problems of scanning vertical structures with high reflective capabilities due to high inclusion of metal components. An additional difficulty are the weather conditions and water qualities specific to the Baltic Sea. To solve this task, the company and its partners use multiple Teledyne products, including PDS software, Seabat T20, Seabat T50, Blueview scanners, all of which will be mentioned during the report with examples of use. Based on the multiple use cases, potential future applications, and expanding engineering survey market it can be seen that a specialized new scanner product type specifically designed for engineering surveys can be used to provide even more informative and higher quality data to potential customers.

USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) RSV Sea Observer deploying the Seabotix ROV...

Mon, 14 Jan 2019 14:02:53 GMT

For some years now, autonomous vehicles achieve more and more hydrographic survey operations. Their fields of action are becoming more extended and they allow reducing the costs of this type of intervention in comparison with conventional survey means.

If typical marine survey can be now well achieved thanks to USV, from inshore and coastal areas to open oceans and offshore bathymetry, the autonomous and remote monitoring of sensitive submarine works and subsea observation, in particular in congested areas and hazardous environment, are challenging.

More and more marine works companies faces to this issue, including in the offshore oil and gas sector, such as NPCC in UAE (National Petroleum Construction Company).

This is to answer this gap, that Marine Tech, a French-based company, developed the RSV Sea Observer, equipped with Teledyne Seabotix ROV vLBV300: the first USV deploying ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) for coastal and offshore missions.

This project led up to the development of motorized winch integrated onboard the USV deploying the ROV vLBV300 up to 100m water depth and umbilical tensioning system providing a perfect winding. Coupled with an articulated platform at the back of the USV, the ROV is launched and recovered easily and safely and protected during transit.

The communication between ROV and RSV was part of the development, as well as the autopiloting with Dynamic Positioning of the USV, with relative acoustic positioning (USBL) ensuring ROV tracking.

This new generation of USV has capabilities for both coastal offshore survey autonomously, thanks to sonars (multibeam echosounders and side scan sonars), and also for subsea visual monitoring and inspection thanks to the ROV.

Deploying lightweight ROVs for EOD operations

Mon, 14 Jan 2019 11:31:17 GMT

Rapid technical advancement has seen a move away from more traditional methods of sub- sea operations, such as the use of divers, in favour of using unmanned and remote vehicles. Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are now being extensively used in offshore and military operations for complex inspection tasks, and Dynamic Positioning (DP) software is used to reduce operator workload, provide stability to the mission platform, and allow for repeatable, automated tasks and inspections. Building a custom ROV system from the ground up is often stifled by high research and development costs and a relatively small market size for these specialized tasks.

One way to efficiently move into unchartered waters, so to speak, is to create a specialized system composed of existing commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware and software components – effectively creating a vehicle that is more than the sum of its parts.

This presentation will discuss the challenges of designing a non-standard ROV system comprised of the best of breed vehicle hardware, sensor, and software systems that the market has to offer, regardless of manufacturer. Under the leadership of Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific), SeeByte collaborated with Teledyne SeaBotix and HDT to develop several smart ROV systems that are able to perform a range of capabilities and functions – including active intervention with underwater improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and IED neutralization. This project proved that custom ROV configurations can be created for some of the most challenging applications with the right software acting as the glue between the different hardware components.

During several expedition seasons, starting from 2003, TRD Instruments- Europe provided us with ADCP Workhouse “Rio Grander 600 kHz” gratuitously supporting our studies at shelves of Russian seas. The first studies showed that the instrument designed for measuring sea currents can really have a much broader spectrum of functions. Primarily, it is true for measuring the intensity of the back-scattered signal, that feature allowing one to monitor different processes in the water bulk. In combination with simultaneously monitoring the background current, the ADCP becomes an exceptional instrument offering unreachable earlier possibilities in studying the processes in coastal regions of seas.

Woods Hole Group Inc. (formerly Horizon Marine, Inc. (HMI)) provides oceanographic services specifically tailored to the offshore energy industry. Our services are designed to assist with planning safe and efficient operations to minimize costly downtime caused by challenging ocean currents. HMI's EddyWatch program concentrates on the location and migration of strong ocean currents that are characteristic of the Loop Current and associated anticyclonic (warm core) eddies, particularly in the deep-water lease blocks of the northern Gulf of Mexico. To provide enhanced services and site-specific monitoring and forecasting, HMI developed the FAST Eddy real-time, automated, self-contained, ADCP data acquisition system that may be installed both on Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs) and Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs). Clients using FAST Eddy for fine-scale monitoring and forecasting problematic currents have found that the service helped mitigate downtime and associated costs during critical operations. Our presentation will describe the technology and techniques of deployment and surveying used by HMI to assist in effectively managing a client's resources and limit potential downtime due to ocean currents. This presentation will touch upon our experiences; past present, and future.

Monitoring Currents with ADCPs on Wave Gliders

Thu, 29 Nov 2018 08:30:57 GMT

This presentation will discuss how ADCPs on Wave Gliders provide a viable and flexible way to get critical upper-ocean current data. ADCPs on Wave Gliders provide a more efficient way to get key oceanographic data. Operating unmanned vehicle is much less costly than operating ships. Carrying ADCPs on these unmanned vehicles provides a flexible and economical means for monitoring upper-ocean currents. Liquid Robotics Wave Gliders have demonstrated the power of this approach with deployments in locations and conditions around the world.

For scientific studies, Wave Gliders carrying ADCPs can simplify exploring upper-ocean responses to atmosphere forcing. This tool can also show current circulation patterns in sparsely-observed oceanic regions. Where currents are weaker, Wave Gliders with ADCPs can replace ships in some types of recurring surveys. As well as returning detailed and extensive data sets, this approach reduces costs and resources for operators and provides flexibility (e.g., changing profiles based on real-time samples). Examples include fisheries management, monitoring the marine environment, and providing indicators for El Nino and climate change.

Wave Gliders with ADCPs are likely to play an enhanced role in operational support for industry. They provide a unique means to see and deliver information about the underwater situation. This approach can improve safety and efficiency as well as reduce risks. It can also provide warnings where industrial activity overlaps with sensitive marine life and environments.

The Liquid Robotics Wave Glider has demonstrated great success as a host platform for acoustic modems. Numerous customer missions have employed these systems to provide seafloor to surface connectivity. In this presentation recent results will be presented. Customer experiences in oceanographic research will highlight the role of Wave Gliders with acoustic modems to:

• Locate and track underwater assets more efficiently and without a ship

• Act as a communications relay, allowing underwater assets to transfer data quickly and in near real-time

• Follow submerged autonomous underwater vehicle (AUVs) for in situ analysis of a drifting water mass

Examples of undersea assets supported will include fixed seafloor seismic research nodes, free swimming long-range AUVs and a seafloor crawling benthic rover. In addition to telemetry certain missions also make use of acoustic positioning to support undersea assets.

This presentation will describe the applications and integration of Teledyne acoustic systems on Wave Gliders.

*Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

The use of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) for measuring streamflow and stream velocities has become common in most hydrologic agencies and the private sector. Instruments for performing these measurements are available from multiple manufacturers; however, the supplied software used to collect and process the data do not use consistent algorithms. Similarly, the data are not stored in a common format and the format of the original unprocessed data is not always made public, limiting the use of the data.

The Office of Management and Budget issued memorandum M-13-13 on May 9, 2013 stating, “Specifically, this Memorandum requires agencies to collect or create information in a way that supports downstream information processing and dissemination activities." This and associated directives require the Federal Government to transform data and information into useable and accessible formats.
The U.S. Geological Survey, Office of Surface Water has developed software to post-process moving-boat ADCP measurements to improve quality and apply consistent algorithms independent of the instrument manufacturer and software used to collect the data. This initial development is serving as a starting point for establishing international standards for both processing algorithms and data file formats. The establishment of standard processing algorithms and the development of a data file format using an existing self-documenting format such as NetCDF will enable consistent, efficient, and expanded use of the data independent of the ADCP used to collect the data. Developing these international standards will require the cooperation of other federal and international agencies and equipment manufacturers.

Seasonal to Decadal Variability in the Upper Ocean Scattering Layer in Drake...

Thu, 01 Feb 2018 10:00:37 GMT

The surface shoaling of nutrient-rich waters poleward across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is responsible for the elevated productivity of the Southern Ocean. Over the last half century, the Southern Ocean has been warming at a faster rate than the global ocean as a whole. In particular, the Antarctic Peninsula region has undergone rapid atmospheric warming, significant glacial retreat and a decrease in seasonal sea ice extent, impacting krill and its predators. Improving knowledge of the Southern Ocean is a high priority for understanding the effects of climate change, but the harsh environment poses substantial observational challenges.

The U.S. Antarctic Research and Supply Vessel Laurence M. Gould crosses Drake Passage 2-4 times per month in all seasons, collecting underway data on transits between Punta Arenas, Chile and Palmer Station, Antarctica. High-resolution measurements of upper ocean temperature, salinity, velocity and acoustic backscatter, along with concurrent meteorological, surface water CO2 and nutrient measurements have been routinely acquired since the late 1990s. This study makes use of 238 acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) transects collected over a 12-year period to remotely sense the characteristics of the near-surface scattering layer, which at 153.6 kHz is dominated by macrozooplankton. Although the primary use of the shipboard ADCP is to measure ocean currents, the measured acoustic backscatter has provided valuable insights into the depth distributions, vertical migration behaviors and even life cycles of dominant biological scatterers. Diel vertical migration and a well defined annual cycle are observed, consistent with krill behavior. Significant geographic variations are present on both seasonal and interannual time scales. Interannual variability is linked to two main climate modes, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and the Southern Annular Mode, as well as to variations in seasonal sea ice extent. Limitations of the present study and proposed sampling to address them will also be discussed.

Why Would You Put a Multibeam Sonar on a Construction Barge?

Fri, 19 Jan 2018 15:45:56 GMT

Abstract:

How can I use GPS – I need results in the field. I can't use RTK GPS because it's not accurate enough. Multibeam SONAR systems will never be affordable to anyone but government agencies. Why would you put a GPS unit on a bulldozer? These are all comments and questions commonly heard by and asked of the author, over the course of his career, and in their initial years of introduction, for what have all become truly transformative technologies.

Fortunate in having been exposed to each of these technologies as they were outliers at the left-hand side of the Technology Adoption Curve (TAC), otherwise known as “Innovators", the author presents a broad overview of the development and user implementation timeline of GPS and SONAR technologies. As he fills the area under the TAC with anecdotal recollections of Early Adopter, Early and Late Majority and, let's not forget – the Laggards.

Interesting enough, the technologies as referenced herein, have collectively returned to the Innovator portion of the Technology Adoption Curve. The author now hears the question, “Why would you put a SONAR on a construction barge?" Reference cases of multibeam SONAR installations on construction barges are given showing that the Early Adopters have begun filling in their “area under the curve" and the days of the Early Majority users are soon to follow.

Measurements for site description and response of farmed fish and equipment...

Sat, 06 Jan 2018 12:23:04 GMT

Abstract:
The salmon farming industry in the Faroe Islands is currently utilizing some of the most exposed sites for aquaculture in the world. Up to now, waveheights of >5m Hsig and tidal currents >1m/s have been measured at the sites.

To be able to provide good advice on farming in such extreme places, proper description of the physical environment is necessary and good knowledge about the capabilities of the farming equipment and the farmed fish in such an environment. For this work we are always on the lookout for the best equipment for the job. We have a number of workhorse sentinels that we use with good results, and have tested the SentinelV and the Citadel CTD as well through the academic product grant.

For site characterization we generally first describe the regional tidal currents using a boat mounted ADCP. From these results a layout of the aquaculture site is proposed and an bottom mounted ADCP is used for obtaining long term measurements of waves and vertical current profile for creating statistics on waves and currents.

Measurements at highly exposed sites have revealed features that might not be described by the standard measurements performed for new salmon farming sites, and work is initiated to define new protocols.

The response of equipment and behavior of the farmed fish is also unknown for highly exposed sites. Various measurement methods are employed together with ADCP's and CTD's to bring more information forward on these subjects.

Examples of results from such measurements will be presented.

Teledyne Multibeam and Dredge Guidance Hardware and Software for Use in...

Sat, 06 Jan 2018 12:07:33 GMT

Abstract:

A $4 Billion project in Tarrytown, New York to replace and demolish the Tappan Zee Bridge is utilizing many aspects of the Teledyne Dredge Guidance portfolio. Five excavators outfitted with Teledyne dredging software (PDS) will be using hydraulic jack hammers to demolish underwater concrete bridge structures. The software allows them to visualize the location of their hammers relative to the structures as well as which portions have already been demolished. A clamshell wire crane outfitted with Teledyne PDS software as well as Teledyne Crane sensors will be used to clean out the debris once the excavators have broken the structures down. Finally, a small survey vessel outfitted with Teledyne PDS Multibeam software and a Teledyne BlueView SONAR provides real time “As-Building" information to the excavators and wire crane so that they have the most up to date information about the structures and debris. With the information from the SONAR, the machines can be sure that an area is fully demolished and removed before moving onto the next one. This will save time and the extra cost of having to go back to a location if something was missed.

Wed, 20 Dec 2017 10:05:18 GMT

Abstract:
GRi was contracted by the Royal Canadian Navy to provide a total of six Teledyne Seabotix simulators with BlueView multibeam sonar across three national locations. The work scope included simulation of dual vehicle missions and a range of training content for Navy ROV pilots, including:

• BlueView multibeam sonar.

• Surface splash zone dynamics.

• Reduced computing footprint requirements, allowing the simulator to run on a single laptop with the SeaBotix OCU hand controller and Seanet Pro Control Software.

• Realistic tether and manipulator dynamics.

The presentation will discuss Royal Canadian Navy's experience with the systems and subsequent advances in large-scale, multiple vehicle simulations made possible through advances in the GRi Physics Engine (GRiP).

The presentation will discuss team-training capabilities using Teledyne SeaBotix and BlueView simulation, with a focus on team-training capacity for multiple surface vessels, launch and recovery systems, and vehicle classes in a single scenario through Common Operating Picture simulation. The Common Operating Picture training mission features six controllable surface vessels with four subsea platforms vehicles (including Teledyne SeaBotix's vLBV950, vLBC, an AUV, and Workclass ROV) operating in a single coordinated graphical and dynamic setting in a mine-countermeasures and submarine rescue scenario.

Slocum Gliders in multidisciplinary studies on the Scotian Shelf and beyond

Wed, 20 Dec 2017 09:47:14 GMT

Abstract:

The Ocean Tracking Network and the Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction and Response (MEOPAR) Network Centre of Excellence have jointly funded the Coastal Environmental Observation Technology and Research (CEOTR) glider program since 2010. Our glider program supports a wide variety of research focused on understanding physical, chemical and biological oceanographic processes with collaborators across Canada and the USA. Researchers that bridge the gap between ocean physics and marine animal movement have utilized measurements of water masses and current estimates determined from Slocum gliders to help understand salmon migration. Measurements of oxygen concentration over multiple years have helped validate circulation models to estimate low-oxygen zones which could alter the habitat of sensitive marine animals such as the wolffish. Slocum gliders equipped with passive and active acoustic sensors have been used to provide multiyear monitoring of both whales and their prey in Atlantic Canada and in the Pacific Ocean off of Vancouver Island. In order to adapt to this broad scope of research, we have had to adapt our gliders to the specific needs of researchers and solve case-specific issues as they arise. Through training and collaborations, we support innovative research across disciplines by working with researchers, industry and government.

Presenter:

Trevor Yocum
Measutronics

Abstract:

Teledyne PDS software can be used for a variety of marine applications, both in construction and hydrographic surveying. This presentation will focus on a relatively new feature for the Teledyne PDS software, pile driving. Whether it is standard vertical piles or complex battered piles, PDS easily manages the workflow. The operator is given all pertinent information to in real-time displays to speedily and accurately position the piles, such as an overhead bullseye view with vessel-referenced change required distances and a 3D view showing current and design pile locations. Included in the presentation will be an overview of the Teledyne PDS software for those unfamiliar with it, a short walkthrough of project creation and vessel setup, and a demonstration of real-time operation. This will be followed up with results from Teledyne PDS pile driving in the field.

David Williams
Australian Institute of Marine Science

Abstract

The Marine Supply Base channel in Darwin Harbour, Northern Territory Australia provides access to berthing and loading at East Arm wharf for vessels that support the offshore energy industry.

Sedimentation in the channel due to complex currents in the area is reducing navigational efficiency and safety.

A combination of multi-beam echo sounder, utilising an Odom MB1 and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, using a network of TRDI Workshorse and Sentinel V, surveys were conducted over a 12 month period encompassing both dry and wet seasons. The MBES surveys mapped the extent of the MSB channel and the East Arm sandbar adjacent to the channel. Tidal current patterns determined from the ADCP surveys show that tidal currents in the area are highly variable and are stronger in the ebb tide direction except at the entrance to the navigation channel. Tidal current are more variable in the flood tide direction at all remaining sites along the channel. The strength and direction of the tidal currents indicate that sediment movement is along the channel toward the deeper seaward navigation channel.

Fine sediments have deposited in the MSB berthing area slightly reducing the volume of the berthing pocket and also depositing toward the end of the channel. An annual sediment deposition rate of 100 mm over the berth area was determined via observations and modelling.

Non-cohesive sand transport modelling, configured using data from the MBES and ADCP surveys, has indicated slow movement of the sandbar in a dominantly south west direction at between 100 – 200 mm per month. Fine sediment modelling indicates deposition in the MSB berth area of 20 – 50 mm/year under average conditions.

Modelling indicates that if the MSB channel was realigned to be straighter the current directions would be more regular assisting navigation. Sediment accumulation would not present a major issue if the majority of the East Arm sandbar was dredged.

Presenter:
Alexander Forrest
University of California - Davis

Abstract:

Predicting the response of the ice-ocean system is becoming increasingly critical in an era where climate change is leading to ever more common mass wasting events of ice shelves in Arctic and Antarctic regions. In order to understand why these ice shelves are collapsing at an unprecedented rate and how they will continue to evolve in the future with changing climate, it is critical to make in situ observations of the physical processes driving these large mass wasting events. In these extreme environments, such measurements are only possible through autonomous robotic platforms.

On April 7, 2016, two large (~10km long by 5 km wide) fragments broke off the Nansen Ice Shelf in the Ross Sea in a single mass-wasting event in close proximity to a suspected subglacial channel. In 2017, UBC-Gavia, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), and Storm Petrel, a buoyancy driven autonomous underwater vehicle (these are often referred to as gliders), were deployed from the R/V Araon as part of the Land-Ice/Ocean Network Exploration with Semiautonomous Systems (LIONESS) collaborative framework led by the Korean Polar Research Institute. Using a coordinated robotics approach, observations were made of: 1) under-ice topography and basal roughness; 2) the boundary layer dynamics at the ice-water interface; and, 3) the mid-water column behavior, in both the near and far field, of outflowing supercooled water coming from beneath the ice shelf. While not without challenge, such an approach is one of the few ways to get a synoptic views of these dynamic and evolving systems.

Perspectives on the State of Ocean Science

Tue, 14 Nov 2017 09:51:10 GMT

Keynote presentation by Margaret Leinen

The value and role of ocean science and innovation increasingly has been the focus of both international and domestic forums on climate science, sustainability, and defense. Now in its second century of exploration and research, UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography is rising to meet new challenges to understand and protect the planet, through interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations and a continued focus on developing innovative technology to observe the planet.

Scripps shares its science at international forums such as the United Nations ocean and climate conferences to advise, contextualize and strengthen the efforts of nations, NGO's and policymakers that set and meet standards for sustainable use of the oceans. The United States Navy is also in the midst of assessing the global state of ocean science and technology via Task Force Ocean, and has engaged US academic institutions including Scripps to ensure cutting-edge ocean science is applied to its oceanographic infrastructure, technologies, and technical workforce so that the Navy maintains its global competitive advantage.

In her keynote, Dr. Margaret Leinen will describe these international forums, Scripps role, how Scripps scientists are innovating to meet these global demands in ocean science and technology, and the state-of-the-art research facilities, centers, and education that will shape the future of ocean and climate science.

The Next Great Odyssey of Human Endeavour Exploring the Deep Ocean

Thu, 09 Nov 2017 14:55:25 GMT

Keynote presentation by Oliver Steeds

Humankind is poised to make the next giant leap – into the deep ocean. We now have the technology available to us to discover more of our planet in the next 10 years than we have in the last 100,000.
Throughout human history, exploration has always driven our progress. Lief Ericson's journey to North America (1001 AD), the discovery of the New World (1490s), Magellan's first circumnavigation (1519) and space exploration (1957-) have all pushed back the frontiers of our knowledge, unlocking immense opportunity and changing our relationship to our planet and ourselves.
But since 1969, we've been looking up when we should have been looking down. The most important part of our planet, the deep ocean, remains the least known part of our planet.
The ocean is the heart of our planet. It's 99% of the planet's biosphere[1], regulates our atmosphere and climate and produces 50% of the oxygen we breath[2]. It captures heat and carbon dioxide which dramatically reduces global warming and provides a primary source of protein for 3 billion people[3]. The ocean is everybody's business. How it changes affects us all. The problem is that we don't know how the deep ocean functions, how healthy it is, how resilient it is and how the development of a sustainable blue economy can drive our growth.
The ocean remains the last great unknown frontier on our planet. We've only biologically sampled 0.0001%[4] and mapped an area equivalent the size of Tasmania to the same kind of detail that we have mapped the entire orbs of the Moon and Mars[5].
From Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), from seabed mapping systems and chemical sensors to the initial library of DNA sequences of marine animals, technological developments now unlock extraordinary new research capabilities. We now have the ability to discover more of our planet in the next 10 years than the last 100,000 of human history.
New areas of economic activity such as renewable energy and marine mining are on the horizon. Millions of new species are to be discovered that can propel human medicine. Resources to be unearthed that will drive our sustainable economic development. Even the origins of life on Planet Earth are to be found.
To engage the world in our all of our work, we should be looking to the space community to learn how to improve our story-telling – engaging our audiences with stories that are positive, forward looking and about a brighter future; that are Mission based and trigger the imagination, communicating danger and building on narratives of exceptionalism, patriotism, exploration and the collective human achievement.
Together, as an industry, we are already leading the exploration of the deep ocean, the last, great unknown frontier on Planet Earth.
The Apollo Missions, polar exploration, Jacques Cousteau's adventures, even Felix Baumgartner's space jump captivated the world with their human drama, battles against adversity, and above all, the unknown. We need the unknown. It is the sense of mystery that gives us imagination and makes us human. Our work is the next positive epic story of human endeavor that can inspire humanity.
