The event will bring together the international ocean science community to experience a massive range of cutting-edge technology that is designed for those involved in exploring, protecting, and sustainably operating in the world’s oceans and waterways. The ocean science community can expect to see advancements in subsea robotics, automation and how the power of digitalisation can help in the analysis of data and offer a greater understanding of the oceans we rely on.
According to UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, which will be presenting at the Oceanology International Conference, still, only 1.7% of global scientific investment is in the ocean space, yet the worldwide scientific community is unanimous that the condition of the oceans will have a huge influence on future weather patterns. The fact that much of this ocean space is still barely explored or understood remains an oversight that humanity is now fighting hard to redress.
The technology on show represents the cutting edge of worldwide ocean scientific endeavour from autonomous ocean robots down to the simplest instruments to measure ocean temperature or salinity, most of which have a link with the immense challenge to better understand, sustain, and protect our oceans.
Allied to the technology on the show floor, the international three-day event will see a full schedule of on-water demonstrations in The Royal Docks and a packed conference programme opened by Dr Rick Spinrad, US Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere.
Oceanology International brings the focus of the international marine science business to London with reputed speakers.
