Marine Tech Talk

In this fall series of podcasts, we introduce some of the winners and general entrants from the 2020 Teledyne Marine Photo Contest. Teledyne's annual Photo/ Data Contest concluded with over 80 qualified submissions that helped the company donate over $1200 to Save the Children as part of a charitable giving campaign.

In this episode we speak with Tim Noyes, an earlier winner of our Academic Grant and now the winner of our Teamwork Makes the Dream Work award for this year's Teledyne Marine Photo Contest. Tim explains the photo, a bit about his PhD work at BIOS and some exciting data they were able to capture during a recent deployment of their Teledyne RD Instruments ADCP.

In this episode, Corina Liu from Data Surpass Technology Co in Taiwan, tells us about the survey of a weather observation tower in Taiwan that won her the Best Data award from our 2020 Photo Contest. The image was created with data from a Teledyne RESON 7125 Seabat sonar and PDS2000 processing software.

In this episode we speak with Dr. Art Trembanis, a professor at the University of Delaware, who develops and utilizes advanced autonomous systems to map and explore oceans and lakes around the world, filling in blank spots on the map.

Art's contest submission was a photo of a Teledyne Gavia AUV, underwater in Bermuda, preparing to do some survey work around the mesophotic reefs in Bermuda. Art's submission won him an Honorable Mention in this year's photo contest.

In this episode we meet Fiona Elliott, a past oceanographic engineer at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand. Fiona's contest submission was a photo of a Slocum glider deployment, investigating regions of freshwater influence in the Taranaki Bight in New Zealand. Fiona's submission won her this year's Zen Award.

On this episode of Marine Tech Talk we meet Matt Nichols, president and owner of Survey Systems in Evergreen, Colorado. Survey Systems is a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business that does geodetic and hydrographic surveying work for a variety of customers.

Matt has been working the hydrographic side of surveying for the past 15 years and recently purchased an Oceanscience Z-Boat in early 2019. Some of the areas that Matt and his team need to survey are in remote areas, making the Z- Boat an ideal small survey platform for those shallow, remote, and high-altitude locations.

In this summer series of podcasts, we introduce the winners of our Teledyne Marine Academic Grant for 2020. This grant offers universities and institutions the opportunity to utilize several of our flagship products free of charge for up to a six-month period to support their research programs. In this episode, we meet our final winner, Jonathan Wallen, a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manoa in Hawaii. Jonathan's research is in the area of autonomous robotics and dynamical systems. In his current project, Jonathan is using a Teledyne Reson Hydrophone to dock an AUV to a floating wave energy converter.

You can find out more about Jonathan's work on AUV docking on his LinkedIn page and you can follow his efforts on the lab's official web site or Twitter account. You can also find more information about the Engineering program at the University of Hawaii on its official web site or follow along on Twitter.

In this episode, we meet Tim Noyes, a PhD candidate at the University of Salford in Manchester, England and a research specialist at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences in Bermuda. Tim's research focuses on determining spatial and temporal trends of mesophotic reef fish biodiversity. Using the awarded Sentinel V100 ADCP from RD Instruments and the Benthos R500 Acoustic Release system, Tim will be working to quantify the hydrodynamic variability within the mesophotic coral ecosystems and adjacent shallow-water reefs.

You can find out more about Tim's research at BIOS on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You can also follow Tim Noyes on Twitter and on Instagram.
