Seminar: Maker Buoy: Enabling Low-Cost Ocean Monitoring
Holmes 247 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluWayne Pavalko Program Manager, Johns Hopkins University Applied Research Laboratory *In-person (HOLM 247) & via zoom* Zoom link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 This talk will discuss the journey of the Maker Buoy, a low-cost open-source drifter design started in 2018. Since then, the design has evolved into several form-factors for in-situ collection, and transmission of environmental data via SatCom. As of 2025, over 400 Maker Buoy devices have been produced for the educational, research, and commercial communities. Seminar Flyer
Seminar: Plastic Pollution Measurement Services: Needed for a Clean Ocean and a Circular Economy
Holmes 247 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluJennifer M. Lynch, Ph.D. National Institute of Standards and Technology *In-person (HOLM 247) & via zoom* Zoom link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been at the forefront of plastic pollution chemical measurement science in Hawaii since 2011, with the goal of becoming a global leader in this crucial field. As a global hotspot for marine plastic debris, Hawaii provides a unique opportunity to address pressing environmental concerns. Chemical measurements play a vital role in answering key questions about the quantities, sources, transport, fate, impacts, and potential reuse of
Seminar: Unraveling the Migrations and Vertical Diving Behavior of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna: Insights from pairing electronic tagging with satellite oceanographic data
Holmes 247 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluDr. Camille Pagniello Assistant Professor of Oceanographic Engineering, Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa *In-person (HOLM 247) & via zoom* Zoom link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 Electronic tags that measure temperature, depth and light have been deployed on a variety of marine animals since the mid-1990s to study their migrations across ocean basins. One such species is the Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT; Thunnus thynnus), which has historically been exploited by international fisheries throughout their range. Since 1996, scientists from the United States, Canada, Ireland, Norway, Spain and Israel have deployed over
