Community Portal is live!

After months of work and preparation, we have officially launched our new community portal! It has a live feed to share your news, a job board, groups to discuss research with others in your area, user search and direct messaging, the latest version of the research landscape, and loads more. Really, all it's missing is…

Recording now available

It has been a busy time for everyone—a fact we understand all too well.  If you weren't able to attend last week's workshop, we've got you covered: 

The Pacific Ocean Energy Trust (POET) is now accepting nominations for two open positions on the Board of Directors for the University Marine Energy Research Community (UMERC), a WPTO initiative that strives to increase collaboration among U.S. marine energy researchers. Nominees are specifically requested with National Laboratory or University appointments. The nomination portal is open through Friday, April 8, 2022, and you can nominate yourself or a colleague for one of the seats on the board. Nomination packages include an updated CV and a short declaration of interest.

Power for Ocean Sensing: Creating Dialogue around Power Capabilities and Needs

UMERC has identified a knowledge gap between marine energy developers and potential end users in this field: there have not been many dialogues between energy developers and oceanographers / instrument engineers. Because small-scale ocean energy is an emerging sector, creating space for this dialogue will ensure it grows according to real ocean observation needs. We hope this workshop will be the first step in a series of conversations between the two communities.
