Preparing for Offshore Wind

Block Island Wind Farm (Courtesy of the Providence Journal)

The ninth annual International Offshore Wind Partnering Forum (IPF) concluded last week with record-high attendance and though-provoking discussions about the booming offshore wind market. Such conversations come at a critical time as the U.S. hopes to generate 30 gigawatts (GW) of energy from offshore wind by 2030. To succeed at scale, the U.S. is already enhancing its port infrastructure, electric grid, and transmission planning process at coastal “hubs” in New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. These offshore wind hubs have the potential to boost local economies and infrastructure by creating “…distributive renewable energy ecosystems in the same way that Silicon Valley and the semiconductor industry shaped the modern world.”

The INSPIRE Team is headed to New Orleans!

We are attending Battelle’s Tenth International Conference on Remediation and Management of Contaminated Sediments on February 11-14. Principal Scientist Kersey Sturdivant will present a paper co-written with INSPIRE founder, Joe Germano titled, Trapped in Plato’s Cave: Benthic Indices and the Illusion of Objectivity. Kersey is also chairing an exciting session on Data Visualization.

INSPIRE’s Marisa Guarinello will be presenting recent projects that demonstrate the utility of Sediment Profile and Plan View Imaging as a sediment management tool. Steve Sabo will also be demonstrating our innovative data visualization tools to interested conference-goers.

This biannual conference is attended by over 1,000 scientists, engineers, regulators, remediation site owners, and environmental professionals, representing universities, government agencies, consultants, and R&D and service firms from over 20 countries. The technical scope for the 2019 Sediments Conference focuses on emerging issues and initiatives in sediments remediation and management.

INSPIRE Environmental at Oceanology International North America 2017

On February 14, 2017, we attended Oceanology International North America.  Our team had a great time showing off our Sediment Profile Imaging technology to the conference attendees.

Managing Partner Drew Carey presented a talk on the future of data visualization in marine environments, showing off some of the innovative displays that we have been developing over the past year.

Our booth was designed by our in-house creative team and constructed by Lone Star Exhibits of Houston Texas.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to all who participated in this wonderful conference and a special appreciation to Jennifer Jensen and her team at Lone Star.

Voyage to See What’s on the Bottom: Transforming Ocean Data into Accessible Information

Drew is Managing Partner at Inspire Environmental, in Newport RI.  He is a recognized expert in the fields of benthic ecology, sedimentology, and environmental monitoring. Throughout his 35-plus year career in applied science, he has advanced technologies and procedures to better visualize and communicate the health of the seafloor. With the goal to “make marine science understandable,” INSPIRE’s team of scientists and technical specialists conduct seafloor surveys worldwide, using technology that allows for less disruptive sampling, more accurate interpretation, and more accessible presentation. The team has developed immersive displays that guide viewers through a data-rich, virtual journey of the seafloor.
