The Smart Sound Connect Subsurface (SSCS) project, led by the University of Plymouth in collaboration with Plymouth Marine Laboratory and City College Plymouth, is enhancing subsea innovation in the South West.
Funded by the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership, SSCS is extending Smart Sound Plymouth's infrastructure by installing an underwater acoustic communications and navigation array. This array enables real-time positioning and telemetry for testing advanced marine technologies. Instrumented seabed nodes provide real-time monitoring of oceanographic factors, creating a fully calibrated subsea testing environment.
This talk will be given by Alex Nimmo Smith , Professor of Marine Science and Technology from the University of Plymouth. It will be delivered in person and online.
