Welcome from the General Chair

Dear Conference Attendees, Exhibitors, and Guests: On behalf of the Marine Technology Society (MTS) and the Oceanic Engineering Society of IEEE and with the generous support from our patrons: the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center, and Old Dominion University, I wish to personally welcome you to this OCEANS conference – the first to ever be held in Hampton Roads Virginia. This conference brings together the technology, people and ideas to expand our understanding of earth’s largest natural resource. Executive speakers from government, academia and industry will address key issues driving our National Ocean Policy. Here is your chance to review, discuss and debate what it will take to achieve a National Ocean Enterprise built upon an effective foundation of innovative marine technologies and integrated ocean information. We have arranged a comprehensive program of 400+ technical presentations, numerous commercial exhibits, technical tutorials, special topic workshops, receptions, luncheons and social events. I encourage you to spend time in the Exhibit Hall, where you will see and meet with those involved in advancing the frontiers of research and commercial development that make up our ocean technology and service sectors. We anticipate strong participation from Hampton Roads maritime users and decision makers who have real issues that this conference can help to address. In addition, we expect attendance by a healthy cross section of Federal, State and Local government officials and engineers who will benefit from exposure to the Hampton Roads region’s leadership. We have incorporated many special events including: a three-hour reception that enables you to experience the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center; a spectacular evening at Nauticus where you will explore the historical aspects of naval, economic, and nautical power of the sea while enjoying the good food and drinks; a US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Town Hall and IGNITE session to investigate the critical value of integrated ocean observations to the nation; an all-day Educators Workshop on marine technology in the classroom; University Row where colleges and universities will showcase their research and educational activities in coastal engineering, marine sciences and marine technologies; and a special focus session on Flood Inundation (of great import to many coastal communities), among many other workshops, tutorials, and technical tracks listed in this program booklet. We have made special effort to make this conference one that users will find of particular interest. Please actively participate in the sessions you attend, for all of us benefit from the experience and knowledge you bring to this conference. And, through it all, enjoy Hampton Roads and this time spent together with your peers. Sincerely, Ray Toll, General Chair

John R. Broderick Old Dominion University, an institution dedicated to innovation and real-world results, welcomes the scientists, engineers, business leaders and government officials who are coming together in Hampton Roads to expand our understanding of the Earth’s largest natural resource. The time is ripe for a “think tank” assembly whose aim is to explore challenges and opportunities that our oceans present. ODU was eager to support this Oceans ’12 meeting because we are a metropolitan research university in a coastal setting, and we have a deep and growing interest in those research areas suggested by the conference agenda. Our faculty members and students, I feel certain, will be valuable contributors to Oceans ’12 as well as recipients of exciting new ideas. In 2010, I directed the launch of ODU’s Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative, which is designed to nurture research and interdisciplinary collaborations in the wide variety of fields that the initiative encompasses. This work involves not only our colleges of sciences and engineering, but also health sciences, education, arts and letters, and business and public administration. Our Office of Research has put up several hundred thousand dollars in seed money to promote projects that focus on our changing oceans. We have also made faculty hires to support the initiative. Another recent startup at ODU was the Business Gateway, an office that provides a single, consistent entry point for entrepreneurs and companies that want to access the intellectual capital, innovative technologies and world-class infrastructure of our university. Research begets ideas, and technological know-how turns those ideas into products and solutions. ODU’s Business Gateway streamlines this research and development process, and stands to be a valuable resource in Oceans ’12 interest areas such as harnessing the power of oceans, improving climate change predictions, mitigating the effects of floods, bolstering the efficiency and security of marine operations and creating healthier coastal marine ecosystems. Again, welcome to all Oceans ’12 participants. We wish you a productive conference. John R. Broderick, President

William Sessoms It is indeed a pleasure for me to extend to you a most cordial welcome on behalf of the City of Virginia Beach. This international technical conference on Harnessing the Power of the Ocean will address several of the topics in which I have a keen interest, including Sea Level Rise/ Coastal Inundation, Marine Renewable Energy such as off-shore wind energy, and Marine Spatial Planning (effective coordination and sharing of our waterfront resources for recreational/ocean transport/fishing/military/ wind energy and environmental protection). During this conference, you will be able to learn and contribute as we sort though these challenges together. Also, while here, please enjoy the many activities Virginia Beach has to offer. As one of the safest cities of its size in America, Virginia Beach offers an abundance of cultural and recreational opportunities and immediate access to quality Oceanfront establishments. The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art has a marvelous collection of the art of our time, and offers exhibitions and outdoor art shows. Don’t forget the events at the beautiful resort area and our vibrant Town Center. We also have excellent parks and recreational facilities. We are especially proud of the Virginia Aquarium, which combines hands- on exhibits with over 100,000 gallons of aquariums along with miles and miles of beautiful beaches and scenic waterways. Our modern city also has a rich historical past. In Virginia Beach, you can sightsee at locations that date back to our nation’s birth. All of this, together, makes this a truly great place to live, work or visit. We are delighted that you are visiting our community, and I encourage you to fully experience one of the finest cities in the world. Sincerely, William D. Sessoms Mayor

Paul Fraim It is with great pleasure that I welcome you on behalf of the City of Norfolk -- the business, financial, educational, cultural and medical hub of Hampton Roads, a thriving region of 1.6 million people. Rich in history and tradition, our old seaport town is undergoing an exciting renaissance that has produced a new downtown, new neighborhoods and a new mode of public transit – The Tide Light Rail line. Harnessing the Power of the Ocean is the theme for this international technical conference, and several of the topics to be addressed are key issues for Norfolk and Hampton Roads. They include Improving Predictions of Sea Level Rise/ Coastal Inundation, and Improving National and Homeland Security. With one of the most beautiful and vibrant downtown waterfronts on the East Coast, Norfolk is home to the world’s largest naval base, Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, Eastern Virginia Medical School and a world class medical center. Norfolk is one of the busiest international ports on the East Coast so we are very interested in the Oceans ’12 topic of Improving the Safety and Efficiency of Marine Operations. During this conference, you will have an opportunity to visit Norfolk’s waterfront and one of her treasures, Nauticus, as well as tour one of the largest and last battleships ever built by the United States Navy – USS Wisconsin. Our downtown is pedestrian friendly and I invite you to explore its historic buildings, homes, and churches and its numerous restaurants and shopping opportunities. Best wishes to you all during this important conference. We look forward to working together to solve some of the regions biggest challenges. Please enjoy your visit! Sincerely, Paul D. Fraim Mayor

Old Dominion University is located in Hampton Roads, one of the world’s major seaports. Since the early seventeenth century, Hampton Roads has been the state’s gateway to the rest of the world and the world’s gateway to Virginia in commerce and industry, in recreation and culture, and in national security.

The University takes its unique character from Hampton Roads as it provides leadership to the state and nation in teaching, research, and service. Thus the University has a special mission for the Commonwealth in commerce, and in international affairs and cultures. It has a significant commitment in science, engineering and technology, particularly in fields of major importance to the region. As a metropolitan institution, the University places particular emphasis upon urban issues, including education and health care, and upon fine and performing arts.

ODU’s Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative began in September 2010 with a forum led by Navy oceanographer David Titley and has continued to gain momentum through the exploration of new research and educational efforts. For example, faculty have hosted workshops to determine how to help cities tackle their infrastructure problems. Researchers are working with the Department of Defense to identify how climate change will affect its military facilities.

ODU recognizes that dealing with rising sea levels is not just about understanding the science and engineering. Understanding how to communicate the science, and how people respond to information and make decisions is an integral part of helping Hampton Roads adapt and be more resilient. To better understand this important aspect of sea level rise, Old Dominion has supported four projects that look at everything from perceptions and attitudes to how to teach climate change concepts. This research is interdisciplinary, involving components of health sciences, business, education and even the arts. 119 OCEANS 2012 MTS/IEEE HAMPTON ROADS OCEANS 2012 MTS/IEEE HAMPTON ROADS
