News this week

John Lawrence, EMEC’s Hydrodynamicist was in San Diego last week attending the “ADCP’s in Action” Conference which facilitates communication and information exchange between ADCP/DVL users, industry experts, and third party manufacturers. John presented a talk on “Combined ADCP and Radar Measurements at EMEC’s Tidal Energy Test Site” as part of the marine measurement segment of the event which was very well attended.

Jenny Norris, our Research Director, spoke at the European Parliament’s Intergroup of Sea and Coastal Areas on Wednesday in Brussels. She participated in talks on “Marine Renewable Energies in Europe”, and gave a presentation on “Regional Strategies and Growth Opportunities” providing an oversight of EMECs activities, and the growth opportunities and challenges from a regional perspective. The event was well attended by MEPs, representatives of the European Commission, representative organisations and other member regions of the CPMR (Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions).

We are also delighted to welcome Joe Thompson to EMEC’s Research team, who joined us on Wednesday as a Data Technician.
