Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
College of the North Atlantic
$25,000.00
Robust Capacitive Wave Guage
FY 2015-16
Summary
The Wave Energy Research Centre, operated in southern Newfoundland by College of the North Atlantic, will
collaborate with Akamina Technologies Inc. to develop a new ocean wave measurement instrument capable of
operating in the energetic environment of the North Atlantic surf zone. This instrument will allow inexpensive
and accurate measurements of water depths and wave heights in real time in shallow water near shore. This
will enable widespread monitoring of wave energy levels impacting the shoreline and coastal infrastructure,
improving capability in coastal civil engineering storm risk mitigation systems and wave energy capture device
design.
