91É«ÇéƬ Oceanography to be part of 'Papa Mau' Celebrations.
Wednesday, 5 December 2012
Representatives from the University of New South Wales (91É«ÇéƬ) Oceanographic Department will take part in celebrations to mark the arrival of 'Papa Mau' to Australia following a historic and record breaking 9000 nautical mile (16668 km) voyage across the Pacific. During its voyage the Wave Glider collected a large amount of data which Liquid Robotics are providing as open access. Congratulations to Liquid Robtics and 'Papa Mau'!

'Papa Mau' Robotic Vessel reaches Australia after historic Pacific crossing.
Thursday, 28 November 2012
The first Wave Glider (and indeed Vessel) ever to cross the Pacific unassisted arrived in Australia today and was recovered off Bundaberg in 2-3m seas. This marks the end of a historic voyage and the longest ever conducted by a robotic vehicle anywhere. The Wave Glider built by Liquid Robotics based in California has travelled solo across the Pacific using Wave Power for Propulsion and Solar Power for its Scientific Instruments. Liquid Robotics were assisted by Underwater Video Systems based in Newcastle in the retrieval off the Glider near Hervey Bay. It is truly a great achievement and perhaps the beginning of a new era for Ocean Observing Systems and Oceanography.
Australian Coastal and Oceans Modelling and Observations Workshop.
Friday, 28th September 2012
Date
Wed, 03/10/2012 (All day) - Thu, 04/10/2012 (All day)
Venue
The Shine Dome, Canberra
This is expected to be the first in a series of national workshops that, over time, will contribute to the co-evolution of an integrated national marine observing and modelling capability for Australia that is appropriate to our status as a ‘marine nation’.
This meeting will primarily be focused on ocean to coastal modeling; but we will introduce issues around biogeochemical and near shore modeling.
The Australian Coastal and Oceans Modelling and Observations Workshop (ACOMO) 2012 is organised by IMOS (Integrated Marine Observing System). The School of Mathematics and Statistics, 91É«ÇéƬ is one of the sponsors of the workshop, and  is a member of the Organising Committee.
More information can be found on the .
The 12th issue of Marine Matters is now up on the IMOS website.
