Applied Ocean Science and Engineering Lab
Our lab and field work takes place out of the Applied Ocean Science and Engineering Lab, an 1800 sq. ft facility located in the Department of Engineering Sciences and Materials (Stefani 111). The lab is loosely led by Miguel F. Canals Silander and his colleagues and fellow CAOSE researchers Patricia Chardón and recent NSF-CAREER awardee Sylvia Rodriguez-Abudo.
Lab facilities include:
- A wave flume with a piston-type wave generator
- Machine shop and tools
- Rotating table
- Graduate student space
- Hydrostatic tank
- A jet-ski based bathymetric surveying system with RTK capabilities
The lab also serves a launching pad for many field operations of the CARICOOS group, including HF Radar, wave and current deployments, and wave buoy refurbishment, among others.
