⛵ Antoine was sailing and racing in a Golden Globe race around the world, but at the same time, he was collecting Ocean data for researchers. How? Meet Antoine Cousot, sailor, geoscientist, and founder of OCEANO VOX, as he shares the story, mission, and vision for a better world for our #Ocean! 📹 “If you have a boat, if you’re sailing, wherever you are in the world you can have this device, (...) very simple to use, very simple to understand that you will make change by helping us, by joining the community.” 💡 Vox-1 is the first plug-and-play scientific onboard #device for integrated monitoring of marine climate and weather. 🎯 With this device, you can collect essential Ocean data while #sailing. 📣 Would you like to get one as well? Request your device today. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dqtfaBXA Help us spread the word! Tag your sailor friends down there in the comments. 💬

🌊 🗺️ Co-founder of OceanWise Ltd, Caroline Levey, has combined her passions of sailing, geography, and data to help introduce new methods of maritime navigation and port management.    OceanWise Ltd, who recently took part in Connected Places Catapult’s Maritime Accelerator, have developed a suite of interactive marine and coastal maps and data sources.    Find out more at the link in the comments 👇    #Maritime #Ports #Data #DataManagement #Technology #Innovation  

Researchers in Australia used sea lions equipped with tiny cameras to explore the ocean floor, uncovering new insights into underwater ecosystems. This innovative approach revealed meadows of seaweeds, coral-covered rocks, and even a mother sea lion teaching her pup to hunt. By leveraging the natural behaviors of these mammals, scientists bypassed traditional mapping challenges. We love finding new scientific methods that harness the synergy between technology and the natural world. https://ow.ly/pEY150T1X6s

From Vision to Innovation: The Rise of Symterra Symterra's story began as Flock Off, a company with a mission to solve bird control challenges humanely using advanced technology. Founded by a brilliant team – a quantum physicist and ornithology experts – they developed a groundbreaking electromagnetic system. This innovation disrupts birds' navigation, keeping them away from unwanted areas without causing harm. Flock Off's commitment to progress never wavered. Over the years, they continuously improved their solutions, becoming a leader in ethical bird control. Today, as Symterra, that dedication to innovation and ethical practices remains. Symterra's effective solutions are now helping businesses and organizations around the world coexist peacefully with birds. #Symterra #BirdControl #Innovation #HumaneSolutions Symterra | gosymterra.com

OVERHEAT Project is glad to introduce the Port of Brest (BrestPort) as a valued partner. 🚢🔥 Located in the Brittany region (France), BrestPort is the main commercial port and plays a crucial role in importing and exporting goods, including energy. In 2024, the port was officially integrated into the core European transport network, recognizing its importance in the region. 🌐 BrestPort has set innovation as part of its development plan, with digitalization being a key component. The port aims to become a demonstrator site for advanced solutions, including S-100 for data, digital twins for applications, and AI for optimization. 📊💡 In the OVERHEAT Project, BrestPort will contribute to the specifications and testing of the digital "SAR-S100" scenario in the port of Brest. This digital "Search & Rescue" service is based on the new S-100 e-navigation standard of the International Maritime Organisation. 🛳️🔍 The expected added value of the "digital SAR S-100" is to enable a true sharing of the situational picture on board and around the vessel between all concerned actors, each capable of enriching the situational picture with its information. 📊👥 When a ship arrives in the port area, the port must transmit key information to the SAR team, such as the navigation chart, navigation conditions, and the quay of destination. A continuous data exchange must be established between the vessel and the port actors. 📊📲 Overheat is a follow-up of the previous development/test of S-100 data with the French Hydrographical Organisation (Shom) and of digital port portals enabling the sharing of port information (chart, tides, etc.). 🌊📊 Explore BrestPort's innovative work and contributions to the maritime industry at their website: www.brest.port.bzh 🌐 #OVERHEATProject #BrestPort #MaritimeLogistics #Safety #Innovation #Partnership #HorizonEU #MaritimeSafety #Sustainability #containershipsecurity #fireprevention #firemanagement CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency BrestPort

The first complete modular closed #ecosphere, #miniBIOTA 1 will house an ocean #habitat, beach shore habitat, and a coastal grassland habitat. These habitats will create a unique opportunity to witness life in a controlled yet natural environment, showcasing the intricate dynamics and interdependence of diverse #ecosystems. #vivarium #ecoeducation #ecology https://lnkd.in/eR3-C8n7

Caltech researchers have developed biohybrid robotic jellyfish for ocean exploration, equipped with electronics and a streamlined "hat" to gather crucial oceanic data. Led by John Dabiri, the team aims to deepen our understanding of climate change impacts. These jellyfish swim up to 4.5 times faster than their natural counterparts, This increased their swimming speed from about 2 to 6 centimeters (0.8 to 2.4 in) per second and cost only $20 each. presenting a cost-effective alternative to traditional research vessels, which can incur operational costs exceeding $50,000 per day. #OceanExploration #ClimateChange #BiohybridRobots #CaltechResearch #JellyfishTechnology

Our team is back from another alpine adventure! Wegaw recently completed an exciting fieldwork mission in Hongrin to deploy even more cutting-edge GNSS-based snow monitoring stations. This adds to our expanding suite of ground-truth stations across Switzerland. Collaborating with ANavS GmbH – Advanced Navigation Solutions and Mitta AS, these stations provide real-time data on snow water equivalent, snow height, and liquid content. This allows us to detect rain-on-snow events, as well as validating and training new models. 🌨 Advancing Snow Monitoring: Corinna Frank (Hydrologist), Niamh French (Data Scientist) and Thomas J. (CTO) installed the stations and will use the data collected to improve on cutting-edge models and unlock new insights for energy generation and hazard management. 🌿 Sustainable Infrastructure: Our stations were transported using lightweight materials, minimizing ecological impact. They are non-invasive to install and will leave no trace once removed. This commitment to environmental stewardship is integral to all of the work that we do at Wegaw. 🤝 Collaborative Success: This achievement was made possible through the combined expertise of Wegaw, ANavS, Mitta, and local experts. This collaborative effort ensured the seamless deployment of these advanced stations, furthering our commitment to driving innovation. Follow us to keep up to date on how our snow stations will be used to accelerate meaningful innovation in hydrological monitoring, advancing our journey in sustainable energy solutions! #Snow #Hydrology #Data #Fieldwork #energytransition #Vaud #Innovation #Geospatial #AI
