OCEANS '13 MTS/IEEE San Diego - OCEANS Conference Local Topics

San Diego has a rich maritime history from its discovery in 1542 to the cutting edge technology of today. Eight local topics have been select to highlight some of the exciting work being done both in San Diego and beyond.

SD 1.0    Deepest Ocean Operations
  • What lies beyond the 6000m line?  What new discoveries have been made?  What technologies have enabled us to explore these abyssal depths?
 
SD 2.0    San Diego Maritime History
  • San Diego has a rich maritime history, starting with the arrival in 1542 of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, and continuing today with the high technology of our government and academic institutions.
 
SD 3.0    Wrecks to Reefs
  • Recycling of ships leads to great benefits for divers and wildlife alike.  What’s involved in making this work?
 
SD 4.0    50 Years of Marine Technology
  • 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the Marine Technology Society.  Take some time to look and reflect at the great strides of our industry over the past half century.
 
SD 5.0    Government  / Industry / Academia Synergy
  • Nowhere more than in the ocean industry is the synergy between Government, industry, and academia more evident.  Look at the progress and achievements possible when these all come together.
 
SD 7.0    Ocean Gliders:  Technology and Applications
  • One of the most exciting developments in the past decade has been the emergence of ocean gliders, both surface and undersea.  A wide range of applications are being investigated, with the accompanying technology developments.
 
SD 8.0    Marine Security and Defense
  • With the increased emphasis on homeland security, there is an ever growing need to apply technologies to the defense of our maritime assets.
