Advanced Marine Technologies
1. Create a critical mass, multi-disciplinary and industry-oriented research grouping in the field of sensors, intelligent systems and sensor platforms.
2. Create a focused capability in the application of advanced sensing and information and communication technologies to the marine and environmental sector.
3. Harness the synergies between the above to deliver innovative technology solutions to national and international markets.

Industry - Ocean Energy
Access to real time Wave Data
Device developers can analyse real time wave data and apply complex algorithms via the portal interface.
Wave energy power output can be accurately related to wave conditions over a time period.
Supporting the development of a new industry
Public – Flood Monitoring
Rapid analysis of six key indicators improves capability to predict flooding
Stakeholders can set their own flood alert conditions.
Users can be alerted via visual alarms, email or SMS when the trigger conditions are detected.
The value of this alarm system is that it can be personalized and cross referenced with other events
Research – Third Level
Information gathering to support research activities.
Enabler for a world class multi-disciplinary research effort in marine sensors and ICT
Providing the latest outputs from sensors to researchers over the web.
Ocean acidification studies at Mace Head site
Cetacean Tracking Biospheric specialise in acoustic
monitoring
Detecting the common cetacean species
Compliment the current ‘marine mammal observation’ approach using hydrophone technology
Challenges: Hydrophone deployment Large volume of data generated High Bandwidth requirements

Cetacean Tracking
IBM System-S software
Stream processing of data sets
Software algorithms to be developed for identifying species and tracking sounds.
Analysis and visualisation of data
WiMAX
Intel R&D efforts on advanced computing, communications, and wireless technologies as well as energy efficiency.
Multi-thematic data sets require large bandwidth
