USMART will be hosted a free two day End User Workshop at the Great North Museum, Newcastle University from 9th - 10th May 2018.
The USMART project is a £1.3M EPSRC funded collaboration airming to deliver a step change in the cost effectiveness of subsea data gathering. Ultra-low-cost, low power underwater acoustic communication devices are being combined with flexible sensor payloads, smart distributed sensing algorithms and efficinet networ protocols to create a framework for mass deployment of subsea sensors with wireless data collection. Potential application areas include:
- Underwater infrastructure health monitoring in the offshore oil & gas, renewables and water industry.
- Marine environment monitoring - measuring physical and chemical parameters.
- Marine biodiversity monitoring, impact assessment and mitigation.
- Underwater security - detection of threats to infrastructure and assets.

A post-event report will follow soon.
