Join us TODAY for the Ocean Studies Seminar with guest speaker Jeremy Weirich, Director of NOAA Ocean Exploration. He will be delivering a discussion titled, “NOAA Ocean Exploration: Maximizing Federal Efforts to Map, Explore, and Characterize our Unknown Ocean”.

More information and ...livestream access at https://bit.ly/3TpOeyr.

Since the program’s inception in 2001, NOAA Ocean Exploration has been dedicated to exploring our largely unknown ocean, unlocking its potential through scientific discovery, technological advancements, and data delivery. By working closely with valuable partners across the public, private, and academic sectors, this unique federal program applies the latest tools and technologies to fill gaps in our basic understanding of the marine environment, making discoveries of scientific, economic, and cultural value. This talk will discuss the components of NOAA Ocean Exploration that support expeditions worldwide, drive advancements in ocean exploration technologies, deliver critical ocean data, and invite participation in ocean exploration experiences through its professional education and outreach activities. Since Jeremy is a graduate of MMA’s Corning School of Ocean Studies, the talk will also touch upon his meandering professional career after leaving Castine and offer some lessons learned.

We invite you to join us for our annual Regimental Awards Ceremony. During this event, we will recognize the superior accomplishments of our Midshipmen and celebrate their vision, effort, and tenacity. Award recipients have demonstrated a path to success for their peers and serve as models for ...others to follow while attempting to duplicate their achievements. This year, 18 students have been nominated for nine distinguished award opportunities. Additionally, the ceremony will include recognizing the high academic student achievers for both Deck and Engineer Cadet Shipping Projects. The ceremony will conclude with recognizing the outgoing Regimental Student Leaders who served in the Wedge.

This week, we shadowed the Introduction to Nuclear Engineering Operations course, a new addition to the steam power systems curriculum. The class, taught by professors with real-world application experience, including time working on nuclear vessels, focuses on the basic principles of nuclear ...physics and atomic power generation, emphasizing plant operations, maintenance, nuclear materials, and radiological controls. The course extends MMA’s steam power systems curriculum and supports the nuclear engineering minor. We observed students donning and doffing "anti-contamination clothing," abbreviated as "Anti-Cs." The suits used in class are for training purposes and are generic "personal protection equipment" (PPE). Real Anti-Cs are all yellow.
