Halmos College to Host Diver-operated Underwater Satellites Seminar

On Wednesday, March 11 at 10 a.m., Joost den Haan, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of PlanBlue will be presenting a seminar entitled, “Efficient seafloor monitoring using diver-operated underwater satellites”. Dr. den Haan has been an active diver and scientist for many years. He has monitored the seafloor all around the world, during his M.Sc, Ph.D, and postdoctoral research. He experienced first-hand how time-consuming and tedious seafloor monitoring is both under water as well as back in the lab. With this in mind, a few years ago, he founded the seafloor monitoring company ‘planblue’ (www.planblue.com), which develops underwater satellites. This technology combines hyperspectral and RGB imaging with artificial intelligence and underwater navigation, and make seafloor monitoring much more efficient, as the seafloor data is standardized, objective and analyzed much faster. As a result, seafloor monitoring becomes cost-efficient at high quality. The aim of planblue is to build a universal seafloor database, which informs scientists, coastal managers, politicians, also the general public and industry on the importance of our seafloor and provide them with a tool to visualize and simplify complex data. This technology will help speed up climate legislation, but also help tackle other global critical problems, such as plastic waste pollution on our seafloor.

Sharks Rowing Take Part in Fifth Annual Every Meter Matters Fundraiser

The NSU rowing team held their fifth annual “Every Meter Matters” fundraiser to support pediatric cancer research. The team set up rowing machines and challenged their friends, as well as other students, to short, high intensity pieces. The goal was to track the total number of meters completed and ask for donations to pediatric cancer research through curing kids cancer.

“It was a really successful event and it’s a great way to give back to the community a bit, said head coach Devin Fay. It also gives people a chance to learn how to row and do it for a good cause.”

“We love throwing this event to help those children in need find a cure but also how we love that our team gets to interact with the public more, added junior Kassie Moss. It shows all the dedication and hard work we put into our sport on the daily, educates the public on rowing and also gives them an opportunity to give back, while having fun racing their friends.” 

“The whole event of coming together like that creates such a happy and exciting environment and it’s really nice to experience that bond with our teammates outside of practice,” concluded senior Samantha Burgess.

The Sharks raised just over $1,600 and are currently still accepting donations in hopes of reaching their $2,500 goal!
