Meet us at the Australasian Coasts & Ports 2025 Conference
Some of the team at the 2023 Coasts & Ports ConferenceConference
Next week, the MetService Research & Innovation Science Team will present at the Australasian Coast & Ports 2025 Conference in Adelaide, Australia. The event is organized by Engineers Australia's National Committee on Coastal and Ocean Engineering, PIANC Australia and New Zealand, Engineering New Zealand, and the New Zealand Coastal Society. The event runs from the 18th - 21 August.
Angelo Portelli our Service Delivery & Account Manager will be attending, along with three other staff who will all be presenting in various specialty sessions, while making time to attend other presentations to make the most of the learning opportunity.
On August 19th, Dr Mireya Montano, a Physical Oceanographer at MetService, will be giving a presentation entitled “Drifting and Tracking – Where Do Floating Things Go?” in the Coastal and Ocean session. She will present current tools and capabilities in the Insights Platform MetService/MetOcean Solutions such the ‘MetOcean Track’ part of application and how it can be applied to anything from large oil spill tracking to more local high-resolution Search and Rescue activities using SurfZoneView results.
In the Coastal Processes session later in the afternoon on the 19th of August, Dr Mariana Cussioli, MetService Oceanographer, will present “Testing wave transmission: Reproducing mussel farm dynamics in a numerical model”. Her talk discusses a methodology for simulating mussel farm lines in a wave model and assesses their potential effects on wave attenuation as they travel through the farm and interact with its structures.
On Wednesday 20th August in the Coastal Processes session Holly Watson Physical Oceanographer/Hydrodynamic Modeller will present “Comparison of Coupled SCHISM/WWM-III and DelftFM/SWAN for Wave-Current Dynamics in Tidal Inlets”. Drawing on an extensive suite of Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model (SCHISM) and Delft3D Flexible Mesh (DelftFM) applications developed at MetOcean Solutions, Holly will compare model performance across a range of dynamic environments and conditions.
The Research and Innovation team at MetService is delighted to participate in a significant event that unites experts and industry leaders to address the technological, scientific, policy, planning, and design challenges associated with coastal development. Read more about the conference here.
