    Episode 29: From Oban to the Arctic, the Benefits of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

    enFebruary 05, 2021

    About this Episode

    On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Dr. John Howe, a Senior Lecturer in Marine Geology at the Scottish Association of Marine Scientists (SAMS). His expertise is in fjord geomorphology and glaciomarine sedimentation. He is the operator of the UK Gavia AUV, Freya, and he has participated in more than 30 cruises to regions including the Arctic, Svalbard, Indian Ocean, Papua New Guinea and the Chilean Patagonia. 

    John discusses several of his recent trips with the Gavia and the advantages that Autonomous Underwater Vehicles provide for researchers.

    For more information about the work being done with Freya and the programs being offered at SAMs, follow along on Twitter or visit the official SAMs website.

    In this episode of Teledyne's Marine Tech Talk, we talk with Pim Kuus, Senior Hydrographer and Product Manager for Instruments and Imaging at Teledyne Marine, and Steven Le Bars, Business Manager at ID Ocean, to discuss their collaboration using Teledyne Resons T51 with ID Oceans SEABIM software. 

     

    Breakwaters play a critical role in protecting coastal structures and ensuring the safety of ports and harbors. Ensuring their stability is paramount, as any failure can lead to costly repairs, operational disruptions, and potential hazards. Correct block placement is a fundamental aspect of breakwater stability, governed by various factors such as contact, orientation, and density. Teledyne Resons SeaBat T51 and SEABIM software have joined forces to offer a comprehensive solution in pursuit of accurate and efficient block placement analysis.
