KATE BUENAU PRESENTING POSTER ON MODELS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 

Kate Buenau will present a poster on environmental monitoring models for marine hydrokinetic energy development at the International Conference on Ocean Energy (April 28-30). Buenau, a senior research scientist with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conducted this research with her co-authors, Lysel Garavelli, Lenaig Hemery, and Gabriel Garcia Medina, all of PNNL. They reviewed and synthesized numerical models to develop more effective and efficient monitoring of six categories of stressors on marine life and habitat. Buenau will present the poster 10 a.m. (PST)/1 p.m. (EST) April 29. The poster—P07: A review of models for improving environmental monitoring of marine hydrokinetic energy development—can be viewed throughout the conference here. Read more about Buenau’s research in her Triton Stories feature here. 

TRITON STORIES: SPOTLIGHT ON MEG PINZA

This month’s Triton Stories features Meg Pinza, the group leader for PNNL’s Coastal Sciences Division. Pinza provided key leadership in developing the Triton Field Trials and Triton’s support in the technology development period of DOE funded environmental monitoring technologies. Read her story here. 

ALICIA AMERSON WILL SPEAK AT MAY 11 SEMINAR ON TRITON

Alicia Amerson is presenting a free public seminar on Triton’s role in improving environmental monitoring technology and methods used to understand stressors caused by marine renewable energy devices. The seminar is scheduled for 5 p.m. (PST) May 11 and is titled Improving Environmental Monitoring, Reduce Stressors, and Get Marine Renewable Energy Devices into the Water. 

Amerson’s presentation is part of PNNL’s Community Science and Technology Seminar Series, which was launched to help the general public better understand and explore how science transforms our world.
