Marine Energy Technologies & Resource Characterization
Marine Energy Technologies & Resource Characterization
Session ID#: 280226
Session Description:
Marine energy technologies generate power from ocean waves, tides, currents, and salinity, thermal, and pressure gradients. These technologies can power a wide range of industries, like desalination, aquaculture, and ocean observation. This session invites presentations on resource characterization, marine energy conversion technologies, integration into different end uses, environmental effects of marine energy extraction, environmental monitoring, and technology performance evaluation. Multi-disciplinary approaches are welcomed and encouraged. International and early career researchers are encouraged to submit.
