Marine Institute

• Industrial development role.
• Environmental protection role.
• Confronted with challenging issues.
• Sustainable development of our marine and coastal
  resources.

5
The Marine Resource is one living, changing,
interactive environment which needs to be looked
at as an integrated whole.

Advanced Marine Technologies

• Create a critical mass, multi-disciplinary and
  industry-oriented research grouping in the field
  of sensors, intelligent systems and sensor
  platforms.
• Create a focused capability in the application of
  advanced sensing and information and
  communication technologies to the marine and
  environmental sector.
• Harness the synergies between the above to
  deliver innovative technology solutions to
  national and international markets.

Industry - Ocean Energy

• Access to real time Wave Data
• Device developers can analyse real time wave data
  and apply complex algorithms via the portal
  interface.
• Wave energy power output can be accurately
  related to wave conditions over a time period.
• Supporting the development of a new industry

21
Public Flood Monitoring

• Rapid analysis of six key indicators improves
  capability to predict flooding
• Stakeholders can set their own flood alert
  conditions.
• Users can be alerted via visual alarms, email or
  SMS when the trigger conditions are detected.
• The value of this alarm system is that it can be
  personalized and cross referenced with other
  events

22
Research Third Level

• Information gathering to support research
  activities.
• Enabler for a world class multi-disciplinary
  research effort in marine sensors and ICT
• Providing the latest outputs from sensors to
  researchers over the web.
• Ocean acidification studies at Mace Head site

23
Cetacean Tracking
Biospheric

• Biospheric specialise in acoustic monitoring
• Detecting the common cetacean species
• Compliment the current marine mammal
  observation approach using hydrophone technology
• Challenges
• Hydrophone deployment
• Large volume of data generated
• High Bandwidth requirements

24
Cetacean Tracking

• IBM System-S software
• Stream processing of data sets
• Software algorithms to be developed for
  identifying species and tracking sounds.
• Analysis and visualisation of data

25
WiMAX

• Intel RD efforts on advanced computing,
  communications, and wireless technologies as well
  as energy efficiency.
• Multi-thematic data sets require large bandwidth
• Pilot deployment of Mobile WiMAX across Galway
  Bay
• MI part of the HEANET Network - 1GB circuit in
  place
• Application areas
• pollution and weather monitoring,
• fishing industry and tourism benefits. 
• renewable Energy
