Oceans '13 MTS/IEEE San Diego Preview
Heeding the call to join âAn Ocean in Common,â authors flooded the Oceans â13 MTS/IEEE San Diego technical program committee with a record number of abstracts in a single day. Special topics include an Ultra-deep track discussing current and prospective robotic technologies, plus a panel of scientists to consider research questions. Oceans2013 Chair Bob Wernli, and Co-Chair Kevin Hardy, developer of the unmanned landers for James Cameronâs DeepSea Challenge Expedition, will be the session conveners. âJamesâ intention is to be certain the door remains open to other explorers,â Hardy said.
Don Rodocker: The Man in the Sea
In the early days of subsea technology, there were a number of pioneers: men and women who stepped over the edge of what we knew about the underwater world. These individuals left the comfort of solid ground to explore beneath the waves and report back to the rest of us what they had seen. They pushed boundaries, raised the stakes and in some instances opened our minds to the possibilities. They were subsea visionaries. Today, those boundaries continue to be pushed, and undersea technology, now more than ever, is reaching new heights.
