Dynamic Swarming of USVs for Hydrographic Surveys in Disaster Recovery
SBC: Marine Advanced Robotics, Inc. Topic: 92Marine Advanced Robotics (MAR) has developed a family of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) based on our patented WAM-V® technology. WAM-V stands for Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel – a highly stable, portable, foldable, and energy-efficient class of watercraft. These sturdy, scalable USVs can be pre-staged prior to a hurricane, stored in standard shipping containers, and deployed without existing i ...

Sustainable seed production for North Atlantic kelp aquaculture
SBC: Ocean's Balance Inc Topic: 93Demand for seaweed products has dramatically increased in the U.S.; however, only 1% is met with domestic production. Expansion of seaweed aquaculture is crucial to protect wild populations from extinction by overharvesting, which impacts entire marine ecosystems. Current kelp aquaculture methods rely on harvested reproductive tissue, which is not sustainable. In response to NOAA Topic 9.3, Health ...

Technological Development for Measuring, Reporting, and Verifying Olivine-mediated Ocean CO2 Sequestration
SBC: PROJECT VESTA, PBC Topic: 91The National Academy of Sciences have called for the rapid implementation of silicate-based CO2 removal to help sequester >1000 GtCO2 by 2100. This represents an unprecedented opportunity to connect the weathering of the silicate mineral, olivine, to rapidly growing carbon markets through the development of measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) technologies. Project Vesta proposes to deve ...

Novel Personal Thermal Comfort Models for Weather-Ready Decision-Making
SBC: WEATHERVANE LABS LLC Topic: 92In this Phase I project, we will demonstrate proof-of-concept for Climatize™, a cloud-based software platform with the novel capability to determine and deliver user-specific thermal comfort information for weather-ready decision-making. People and organizations in a Weather-Ready Nation adapt to weather changes and environmental events with resilience. A challenge of building a Weather-Ready Na ...

Measuring Stormwater Overflow with Synthetic Aperture Radar
SBC: WOLVERINE RADAR COMPANY Topic: 93Many municipalities in the United States have begun to use impermeability measurements to incentivize storm water retention as part of the architectural and landscaping design process. These measurements are performed through analysis of high-resolution aerial photography and updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. The practice of using high resolution aerial or even satellite photography is pr ...

Auto-Transcription for Citizen Science
SBC: INFERLINK CORP Topic: 95We propose to implement a system for automatic transcription of tables from handwritten or typed document images. In phase I we developed an end-to-end system design and showed the feasibility of our approach with a working prototype to take document images as inputs and extract a digital, tabular output. In phase II we will fully implement the end to-end system. Our work will focus on three tasks ...

Innovative UV Biofouling Mitigation Technique for In-water Optical Sensors
SBC: BIOSPHERICAL INSTRUMENTS, INC. Topic: 93A new technology for reducing biofouling (accumulation of biological matter on submerged surfaces) on radiometers measuring light in the water column will be developed. This technology will improve the long-term accuracy of sensors monitoring the health of the oceans and their data products (e.g., con-centration of chlorophyll and dissolved organics). Inhibition of biofouling will be achieved usin ...

HABSSED: Harmful Algal Bloom Surveillance by Sequencing of Environmental DNA
SBC: ELDER RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 92Harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a significant problem for the Blue Economy, adversely affecting drinking water, commercial fisheries, water recreation, and tourism. Early detection of HABs is crucial in mitigating their effects. We propose to continue our development of HABSSED (Harmful Algal Bloom Surveillance by Sequencing of Environmental DNA) into the prototyping phase. The HABSSED pipel ...

Autonomous Environmental UAV Survey System for Wildfire Assessments
SBC: Robotics 88, Inc. Topic: 92Wildfire response planning is limited by the lack of high-resolution data for use in wildfire prediction. Wildfire models depend on many variables, including weather, topography, vegetation type and arrangement, fuel moisture content, and regional fire prevention measures, among others. Some of these variables are static or nearly so, but some of these are highly dynamic. In particular, live fuel ...
