This is the second in a series of articles highlighting projects advanced through the U.S. Testing Expertise and Access for Marine Energy Research (TEAMER) program. TEAMER provides marine energy technology researchers and developers with streamlined access to U.S.-based test facilities and world-class technical expertise. Since TEAMER launched in 2020, the program has supported more than 160 marine energy physical testing and numerical modeling projects with more than $18 million in technical support.
For the University of Washington (UW), TEAMER’s support enabled testing of several environmental monitoring technologies. UW researchers were able to deploy and further develop their technologies and equipment, advancing the field of marine energy and enabling other researchers and technology developers to better understand how marine life interacts with deployed devices.
