Webinars and Workshops
- In May 2022, Triton led a successful workshop that convened numerous subject matter experts from multiple countries to discuss the best way to measure particle motion to characterize underwater sound around marine energy installations. View the workshop's keynote presentation by Arthur Popper: Particle Motion, Fishes, and Invertebrates: What We Know and Don't Know!
- The Triton Talks webinar series is a monthly deep-dive into the research and results of the Triton Field Trials. Starting February 2022, these webinars are held the third Thursday of every month. To watch past webinars in this series, go the Triton Talks YouTube Playlist.
- The Water Power Technologies Office hosted an R&D Deep Dive webinar series to share updates on tools, analysis, and emerging technologies to advance marine energy. Alicia Amerson and Joe Haxel presented on Underwater Observations – Monitoring the Environment around Marine Energy Devices on June 24, 2021. View the presentation here.
- Alicia Amerson presented for PNNL’s Community Science and Technology Seminar Series on Triton’s role in improving environmental monitoring technology and methods used to understand stressors caused by marine renewable energy devices. The seminar is titled Improving Environmental Monitoring, Reducing Stressors, and Getting Marine Renewable Energy Devices into the Water. Watch the seminar here.
