TRANSCRIPT
MTS Professional Committees are technical interest
groups that bring together members with common
interests and enhance a sense of community through
events and activities, such as specialized conferences,
workshops, technical sessions and special issues of
the MTS Journal.
MTS Professional Committees
Topic: ROV Committee
• The committee’s mission is to promote
the exchange of technical information
among all ROV stakeholders, and to
increase student interest and
involvement in ROV technology.
• Co-sponsor the annual Underwater
Intervention Conference which includes
an exhibition and technical program.
• Sponsors the MATE International ROV
Competition and award scholarships
annually to students interested in
ROV’s
Topic: Ocean Observing Systems (OOS) • OOS provide critical and persistent data on
climate change, biogeochemical cycles,
ecosystem assessment and environmental
hazards
• Emerging Technologies include:
− Gliders
− HF Radar networks
− High-speed fiber optic networks
− Acoustic tagging and tracking
• Committee involvement through:
− Conference Tracks
− MTS Journal special issues
− Annual meetings and published updates
− TechSurge and special focus Workshops
Worldwide Observatory Locations

Topic: Seafloor Engineering Committee
• Engineer Emerging Technologies for
Deepwater
• New Technology Fields: • Exploitation of Natural Gas Hydrates (NGH)
• New Materials
• Special UW Service Vehicles/Apparatus
• Involvement with MTS: • Oceans13 San Diego Technical Sessions
• Coordination with ROV and Deepwater
Field Development Committees
• MTS Scientists, Technologists, and
Advisors
• MTS Service Companies
Mission: Provide a forum for discussion, interchange and publication of
information and technologies in identification, monitoring, and
remediation of ocean pollution.
Activities: 2012 – Subsea & Arctic Leak Detection Symposium
2013 – Inaugural MTS Subsea Leak Detection
Symposium
2014 – MTS Journal on Subsea Leak Detection
Expertise: The committee is composed of technologists, end users
and government stakeholders of ocean pollution solutions across the
marine industry. 2012 and 2013 are primarily focused on participating
and engaging R&D around subsea leak detection solutions –
specifically subsea assets such as oil & gas facilities.

Topic: Deepwater Field Development Tech.
• Definition of Topic: To expand the MTS base more into the
oilfield equipment end of the subsea business
• Direct involvement with MTS: Sponsoring Sessions at
Underwater Intervention in New Orleans
• Primary goal is to organize “Lunch & Learns” where
members, students and educators can be exposed to
recent industry innovations and practices.
Topic: Rope & Tension Member
• Definition of Topic: to discuss and publish information relative to load
carrying tension members such as synthetic and natural fiber ropes, wire
ropes, chains, protrusions, tension legs, and associated connectors and
terminations, including design analysis, performance and failure
investigations, field experiences, and new materials, forms, and
techniques
• Emerging Technologies: New fibers, new terminations, new constructions
• Rope Technology Workshops (every ~18-months)
• Students: Rope scholarships (TAMU), Oceans stipend

Through its activities and advocacy, the remote sensing committee seeks to promote
the scientific, economic and societal benefits of these remote sensing technologies
and their applications in ocean research, education, industry and the public interest
Advanced sensing technology enables the acquisition of
data from an ocean feature without any direct contact
