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
MS Plan B: Evaluating Stability and Structural Integrity of a Modified Cargo Ship
Jacob Dennis Masters Student Department of Ocean & Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Manoa **This defense will be held in person (POST 418) and Zoom** Meeting ID: 835 7663 5393 Passcode: JacobMS Zoom link: https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/83576635393 Modifying existing ships can be a cost-effective way to meet new operational demands without the time and expense of building entirely new vessels. One common modification is increasing the vessel’s length to expand cargo capacity. However, such changes can significantly impact a ship’s stability and structural integrity, raising important safety considerations. This project investigates the effects of a 52-foot hull extension on a Mariner-class
