Identifying the major challenges to the safe and sustainable use of our oceans
The Lloyd’s Register Foundation, a charity helping to protect the safety of life and property by supporting education, research and public engagement, has announced the next in its series of foresight reviews, on ocean engineering.
The Foundation will engage leading international experts from a wide range of fields – such as engineering, oceanography, law, economics, and business – in developing the content of the review. Interested parties are invited to sign-up to one of the upcoming review workshops or, if unable to attend, register their interest in contributing by other means.
The review will be led by Professor Mark Cassidy, Lloyd’s Register Foundation Chair of Offshore Foundations at the University of Western Australia, who said: “The Lloyd’s Register Foundation foresight review on ocean engineering will highlight the intersections between the increased demands on our oceans and the technological trends enabling their further development. It is timely because, as our reliance on the oceans increases at a global scale, so does the potential impact on the safety of life and property.”
