We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Prof Stephen Salter. FloWave would not exist without his pioneering work, and we will miss him. His legacy will not just be in the technologies he developed, but also in a generation (or more!) of skilled engineers he trained.

Why do we need wind turbines that float? 🌊
Learn why our team at @FloWaveOcean is working with #industry to develop next-generation #OffshoreWind devices which could help the UK meet its pressing #NetZero targets.

We've been saying goodbye to our
@SchoolOfEng_UoE summer interns as the new teaching semester rolls around. Many thanks to Shaun Fraser, who worked hard on updating the content of our website, including examples picked from our portfolio of ORE projects. flowave.eng.ed.ac.uk/home

The future leaders in the #offshoreengineering visited Mocean!
The DOT @tudelft students had lots of curiosities about #offshore renewable energy, and @FloWaveOcean switched on the "wacky wave" setting for testing survivability in our Blue Horizon #WEC.
Thanks @wavetankthomas!

You may have seen the "FloWave Spike" before, but did you know that the science behind it is contributing to knowledge on wave breaking in the ocean? Through studying these crossing seas we aim to understand implications for maritime safety. #WorldOceansDay
University of Oxford@UniofOxford
🌊 | New spike wave video Researchers studying wave breaking have found that axisymmetric ‘spike waves’ can far exceed limits that were previously thought to dictate the maximum height of ocean waves. More info ➡️ ox.ac.uk/news/2022-06-0… #WorldOceansDay

How well do experimental assessments of wave energy converters at different test tanks compare? We were able to explore this through a unique 'round robin' programme under the @MaRINET2_EU project with our international partners @PlymUni @MaREIcentre @CentraleNantes @IHCantabria
