Title: Underwater Magnetic & Electromagnetic Sensors: New Applications and Recent Results from OFG’s iCP and Hypermag Systems for Marine Robotic Platforms
Please join the Canadian Atlantic, Vancouver, and Victoria Chapters of the Oceanic Engineering Society for an online joint technical session on underwater magnetic and electromagnetic sensors.
Hypermag is the next generation of OFG’s Self-Compensating Magnetometer (SCM) system for marine robotic platforms unlocking new applications for UXO, MCM, pipeline and AC/DC cable mapping and depth of burial with AUVs, ROVs, ROTVs and USVs. iCP is a non-contact Cathodic Protection (iCP) inspection system for subsea structures with AUVs, HAUVs and ROVs. These systems and their applications will be introduced, including results from recent trials.
Attendance to this online event is open to both members and non-members.

CCECE Events
CCECE 2022 is being held in Halifax this year and on Sunday September 18, we are running 4 tutorials/workshops, and you’re invited!In the morning (9 am – noon), take a deep dive into Meta-Learning (a machine learning approach that is showing great promise), or learn about how to find and use relevant codes and standards in their capstone projects, research work, and eventual careers.
Then in the afternoon (1:30 – 4:30 pm) there will be a hands-on workshop using an effective tool to understand data pipelines for ocean data collected on platforms like autonomous underwater vehicles, while professors and those who are interested in academic careers may join the continual curriculum improvement panel to learn about what is happening across Canada to advance engineering programs.
The detailed descriptions of these tutorials are available on the CCECE 2022 website: https://ccece2022.ieee.ca/tutorials/
Registration is open to everyone, but there is a special price of $30 for students. Registration can be completed at this link: https://edas.info/r29368
We can be reached at tutorials@ccece2022.ieee.ca with any questions. If you are interested but cannot afford the session, please get in touch with us.
Looking forward to meeting you there!

Technical Talk: Perspectives on Tidal Energy Development in Nova Scotia
Speakers: John Woods (Minas Energy) and Tony Wright (FORCE)
Tony Wright’s presentation will provide a FORCE point-of-view on tidal power development and the challenge of “working in water that moves over 20 kilometres an hour.” John Woods will talk about two of the FORCE berths (A & C) from a developer’s perspective. These include a total of 21 x 420 MW units, connected in two arrays. He will highlight some points on interconnectivity.
More details on the AGM can be found at here.
