The SUT was founded to advance the understanding of the underwater environment and foster collaboration across academia, industry, and government in developing ocean exploration technologies, promoting sustainable resource use, and supporting marine science education.
About the Course
“Introduction to Marine Archaeology” integrates geology and geophysics with archaeology to delineate, identify, and assess inundated cultural resources, such as shipwrecks and submerged paleolandscapes. The 1.5-day comprehensive course introduces industry professionals to marine archaeology as it intersects with offshore energy project development. It will cover topics including regulatory environments in the United States and around the world, the potential for unanticipated discoveries, data acquisition and interpretation, risk management, and project planning. By incorporating case studies, instructors will explore the synergies between marine archaeology, geohazards, and site investigations and will address the benefits of proactive project planning. This course is sponsored by the Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics Committee of the SUT-US.
