OCEANS 2024 is a four-day event for global maritime professions, where industry thought leaders will gather to highlight relevant topics and current trends in marine technology. The event is presented by the Marine Technology Society and the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society.
The schedule will include:
Chief Executive Officer and Scientific Director
Ocean Frontier Institute
Dr. Waite will participate as one of the honorary chairs of the 2024 event.
Wednesday, September 25
11:00-11:45 a.m.
Dr. Anya Waite will participate in a panel discussion on the role of academic and government research in accelerating ocean technology innovation.
Join us at booth 701 to learn more about our research programs and to meet some of our team members.
The Ocean Frontier Institute will be responsible for organizing the Climate Solutions track of the OCEANS 2024 conference on September 26.
The goal is to advance the science, technology, and innovation required to achieve scalable commercial ocean-climate solutions across renewable ocean energy, marine transportation, and marine carbon dioxide removal.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), when paired with extensive emissions reductions, is a mitigation strategy to limit warming to 1.5°C as it removes legacy carbon emissions from the atmosphere by augmenting natural processes on ocean and land.
However, in order to meet climate goals, CDR must scale 30 times its present capacity by 2030, which is estimated to require an annual global investment of 1.13 billion USD/year for research and development.

This panel event is focused on the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, which will provide a valuable tool to support the transparency of global mitigation action.
The system will be built on three components:
Open and unrestricted access to data will ensure a full transparency of system outputs, which will provide globally consistent information that will feed multiple applications including supplementary information to the traditional inventory reporting.
