| 2018 Spring DeSSC Meeting - Agenda | 110.115 KB |
Oregon State University and the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) invite you to join representatives from academia, government agencies, and private industry to discuss current and future environmental sustainability of ships, boats, and ports. Previousworkshops held in 2012, 2014, and 2016 opened a dialog on marine sustainability topics and initiatives. This workshop will continue these discussions and help our community better understand resources and practical solutions available to maximize the environmental sustainability of our existing and future vessels, support facilities, and ports.
The workshop will be 1½ days long, with invited presentations from marine architects, designers, builders, private businesses, representatives of Federal, State and local agencies, and international sustainability experts. Presentations will cover topics such as port sustainability and best practices, emerging green technologies and initiatives, propulsion and fuel efficiency, emissions, ballast water treatment, waste management, recycling, and best practices for environmental sustainability. Progress on greening initiatives within the U.S. Academic Research Fleet will be reported. An evening poster session is planned with a reception and dinner, and all participants are welcome to provide displays.

| 2018 Green Boats and Ports for Blue Waters IV - Agenda | 72.604 KB |
Hosted by the UNOLS FIC Subcommittee on Global Ship SMRs: Gregory Cutter, Chair; Byron Blomquist; Suzanne Carbotte; Clare Reimers; James Swift
When: Monday, February 12, 2018: 12:45 PM – 1:45 PM
Where: Oregon Convention Center, Room D139-D140
The Fleet Improvement Committee (FIC) of UNOLS (University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System) works to assure the continuing excellence of the Academic Research Fleet (ARF), to improve the capability and effectiveness of individual ships, and to assure that the number, mix and overall capability of ships in the ARF match the science requirements of academic oceanography in the U.S. In this context, planning for a new vessel involves creating a "Science Mission Requirements" (SMRs) document that describes the vessel's size, performance, capabilities, and facilities, which then becomes the blueprint to seek funding for detailed planning and eventually, construction. Based on current science programs and future projections, and considering the age and capabilities of the current fleet, the FIC is developing a SMR for the next Global Class, general purpose, research ship.
This meeting is for gathering community input to help us write SMRs that reflect the requirements of the ocean science community broadly – all disciplines. Early career to senior scientists should come to the meeting with experience-based ideas for a next-generation ship that will facilitate both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary research. Projects that may be on the horizon that will need Global Class vessels should introduce their mission scenarios.
