Marine renewable energy is emerging as one of the fast-growing industry in the last decades, as modern society pushes for technologies that can convert energy contained from winds, waves, tides and stream flows. The implementation of renewable energy technologies impose high demands on both structural and environmental engineering, as the energy converters have to work under extreme conditions ...

Within the High Resolution Air-Sea Interaction (HiRes) DRI the Center for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), former NATO Undersea Research Center, will develop and validate methodologies to retrieve wind field parameters from X-band marine radars. The main parameters are the mean surface wind vector; the high-resolution wind field, as well as wind gusts in vicinity of the measurement...

A total of 12 species of marine gastropods, among which two taxa are new, is reported for the first time from the Miocene deposits of Khavich section, south of Sirjan, Kerman. Gastropods assemblage in Khavich area indicates deposition in shallow, warm ramp-type carbonate platform. The Miocene and even Oligocene gastropod assemblages, relatively similar to Khavich section, reported from the othe...

This paper presents the continuation of a project first presented at MIPRO'10 conference. The project includes a small-scale marine platform (PlaDyPos) developed at the Laboratory for Underwater Systems and Technologies (LABUST), University of Zagreb which is used for testing control and guidance algorithms for marine vehicles. The paper focuses on the analysis of experimental results obtained ...

The integration of marine and land based spatial information will support sustainable management and development of the coastal zone. Therefore, the development of a seamless platform covering the land and marine environments would facilitate more efficient and effective decision-making capabilities for any jurisdiction with land-marine interface. This paper discusses the potential for developi...

There are many harmful marine organisms, such as starfishes, in underwater environments. Underwater task to eliminate such organisms by divers is dangerous and inefficient. This paper proposes a novel remotely operated vehicle (ROV) platform for a robotic application to capture harmful marine organisms. The proposed underwater robotic platform has four rotatable thrusters for hovering motion ag...

Dokdonia spp. have been used for investigating the lifestyles of proteorhodopsin-containing photoheterotrophs and for understanding marine photobiology. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Dokdonia donghaensis DSW-1(T) using the PacBio sequencing platform. It should provide a valuable resource for comparative genomic studies of marine life harboring microbial rhodopsins among others.

Because of the increasing significance of marine aquaculture for human nutrition Schleswig-Holstein developed into an international center of competence for marine aquaculture. „Fish in the Web“ is the construction of an informationand data-exchange platform with web 2.0 technologies for an interdisciplinary research project.
