Seminar: A Low-Cost, Modular Autonomous Water Sampler (MAWS) for Coastal Biogeochemical Monitoring
Holmes 247 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluOlivia DeCroix, Darin Hiraldo, Kaja Reinhardt, Cameron Richardson, Maliheh Sarvandi Graduate Students, ORE 653, SOEST, University of Hawaii at Manoa *In-person (HOLM 247) & via zoom* Zoom link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 Water sampling is an integral part of understanding aquatic systems. The ability to autonomously sample water at various depths and locations has advanced our temporal, and spatial understanding of Earth’s hydrology and biogeochemistry. Traditional ship-based sampling methods provide limited temporal resolution, failing to capture short-term fluctuations in seawater chemistry. Compared to human-led collection efforts, the increased temporal and spatial data coverage associated with automated
Seminar: Coastal Engineering in the Pacific
Holmes 247 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluDavid A. Smith, PhD, PE Senior Coastal Engineer, Sea Engineering, Inc., Honolulu, Hawaii *In-person (HOLM 247) & via zoom* Zoom link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 Join me as I reflect on my path from a new graduate to a senior coastal engineer. This presentation will explore how engineers contribute to solving complex problems at every stage of their careers—starting with well-defined tasks and growing into leadership roles on projects with no clear roadmap. I’ll share insights into the evolution of technical and professional responsibilities in the consulting engineering world, and wrap up with highlights from some
Seminar: Ocean Engineer in the Oil and Gas Industry
Amal Phadke, Ph.D. Principal Ocean Engineer, ConocoPhillips, Houston, Texas *Online only* Zoom Meeting Link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 I have worked in the oil and gas industry for nearly 24 years since graduating from the University of Hawaii with a PhD in Ocean Engineering. This presentation will focus on my experience as an ocean engineer along with my perspective on the key roles and responsibilities of an ocean engineer as it relates to offshore oil & gas projects. I will provide an overview of the various stages of a typical offshore floating production system capital project,
