Seminar: Development of the World’s First Integrated SMART Cable Sensor System for Natural Disaster Monitoring and Critical Infrastructure Resiliency

Holmes Hall 247 2540 Dole St, Honolulu

Matthew J. Fouch, Ph.D. President Subsea Data Systems, Inc. matt.fouch@subseadatasystems.com *In-person (HOLM 247) & via zoom* Zoom link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640 We have developed a new technology that will revolutionize the utility of new subsea telecommunication cables, which transmit over 95% of all international Internet traffic and $10+B financial transactions daily. The goal is to grow a global subsea network capable of monitoring earthquakes, tsunami, and global climate change, while simultaneously improving critical infrastructure stability and national security. Integrating environmental sensors, including seismic, pressure, temperature, and eventually other sensors, will enable real-time data collection for

Seminar: Observing the Ocean and Earth with SMART Subsea Cables: SMART Atlantic CAM

Bilger Hall 150 2545 McCarthy Mall, Honolulu

Fernando Carrilho Division of Geophysics, Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere Jose Barros Telecommunications Consulting Bruce Howe Ocean and Resources Engineering, University of Hawaii at Manoa Location Information **This seminar will be held both in person (Bilger Hall 150) and over Zoom** https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/95081858686 Meeting ID: 950 8185 8686 Passcode: OREseminar The ocean is key to understanding climate change, sea level rise, ocean warming, tsunamis, and earthquakes. Because the ocean is difficult and costly to monitor, we lack fundamental data needed to adequately model, understand, and address these threats. Science Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunications (SMART) Cables is working to integrate sensors

Seminar: An Update on the SMART Cables Initiative for Observing the Ocean and Earth

Holmes Hall 243 2540 Dole Street, Honolulu

Dr. Bruce Howe Research Professor, Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawaii at Mānoa Location Information **this seminar will be held both in person (Holmes Hall 243) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 961 6222 2366 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96162222366 The Joint Task Force for Science Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunications (SMART) Subsea Cables is working to integrate environmental sensors (temperature, pressure, seismic acceleration) into submarine telecommunications cables. This will support climate and ocean observation, sea level monitoring, observations of Earth structure, tsunami and earthquake early warning and disaster risk reduction. We present an overview of the initiative and a description of ongoing
