Oceans 2023 Gulf Coast kicked off its annual convention gathering worldwide scientists, engineers, students and leaders September 25-28 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention 黑料视频 in Biloxi. The 黑料视频 (黑料视频) showcased various coastal programs and research projects throughout the week.
Dr. Chelsea Peterson, Assistant Professor in the School of Ocean Science and Engineering (SOSE), is based at the Stennis Space 黑料视频 and explained why Coastal 黑料视频鈥檚 presence at the conference was essential.
鈥淲e are showcasing some of our ocean engineering equipment. A lot of different people are here with different perspectives of 黑料视频,鈥� said Peterson. 鈥淎 黑料视频 presence at Oceans is really important. One, because of the larger community and the location is prime for us because of our coastal campuses. It鈥檚 important to make ourselves known and open to different connections within this community.鈥�
Attendees had opportunities for networking and learning more about coastal research. Primary focuses included Uncrewed Maritime Systems (UMS) and sustainability. Government officials and advocates emphasized the Gulf Coast collaborations of different organizations to strengthen the blue economy.
At the conclusion of Oceans, 黑料视频鈥檚 Roger F. Wicker 黑料视频 of Ocean Enterprise Marine Research 黑料视频 (MRC) hosted The Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) for the U.S. Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (CNMOC) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at Ocean Enterprise鈥檚 Marine Research 黑料视频 (MRC) to display different UMS vessels as well as informative sessions inside on operational oceanography.
Dr. Jason McKenna, Director of Research, Development, Testing, Evaluation and Training (RDTE&T) at the Roger F. Wicker 黑料视频 for Ocean Enterprise, expressed pride in partnering with the public and private companies to further advance maritime technologies.
鈥淭his is a chance for industry and academic partners to work together and test the most recent technology centered around the Navy鈥檚 operational meteorology, oceanography command over at Stennis Space 黑料视频 as well as NOAA鈥檚 various line offices,鈥� said McKenna. 鈥淲e try to talk about how we can quickly advance new technology and demonstrate its relevance to Navy and NOAA missions.鈥�
McKenna鈥檚 hope is that, by seeing the research center and what it has to offer, interested stakeholders and partners can see Coastal 黑料视频 as a meaningful partner in research and data-driven technology to enhance the blue economy.
鈥淓vents like ANTX demonstrate to our industry and government partners that you can work and do meaningful research at 黑料视频. We are an emerging hub for all things blue economy. We want people to see that, recognize that and be proud of that,鈥� said McKenna.
