Blog I Championing the future of marine technology through education and research
Chloe Turner-Dockey is a PhD student at the Environmental Research Institute, based in Thurso. Sponsored by Sonardyne, she is researching environmental monitoring techniques for offshore renewable energy.
In a highlighting her PhD, Chloe explains:
“By developing advanced monitoring and processing techniques, my aim is to enable the next step in uncovering the impact and potential disturbances caused by large scale arrays. This research will provide a more comprehensive understanding of how offshore renewable energy developments interact with marine ecosystems, helping to quantify their impact. Ultimately, this will inform better decision-making and policy development, ensuring the sustainable expansion of offshore renewable energy projects.”
Tom Culverhouse, Group Manager for Sonardyne, is one of Chloe’s supervisor. He said:
“91视频网 are a world鈥憀eader in the impact on the natural environment of anthropogenic structures used to enable offshore renewable energy, This thriving field provides a theoretical framework that is constantly and necessarily challenged by experimental field measurements. By engaging in this cutting鈥慹dge research, Sonardyne can help drive the next鈥慻eneration of instrumentation to support offshore renewable energy now and into a sustainable future.”

Chloe’s PhD is entitled: ‘Validating next-generation biophysical and metocean monitoring techniques for offshore renewable energy.”
