Offshore Wind Power – Project Manager
A multi-year scientific data acquisition tower was erected on an offshore US site. Woods Hole Group designed, installed, and acquired real time data from the site. The sensor package included multi-level wind speed and direction, multi-level temperature and barometric pressure, and sub-sea wave height and direction along with current speed and direction. All data was synthesized on site, stored locally, and also real time transmitted to Woods Hole Group for processing and data reporting. Project Management tasks included all customer liaison, contract negotiation; data report review, and technical oversight of the entire scientific package.

Real Time Meteorological & Oceanographic Data System/International Oil Rig – Project Manager
Woods Hole Group was responsible for the design and implementation of a real time, deep-water (5,000 ft) data acquisition system on a multi-platform spread for an international oil drilling operation. Dual Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling instruments along with wind speed and direction data were synthesized into a central data information management system onboard the drilling rig. Project Management included specification control documentation, contract negotiations; technical specifications for purchased equipment, system documentation, logistical support, and customer relations.

Real Time Met-Ocean Data Program – NOAA – Project Manager
A multi-year, multi site contract to oversee the operation and maintenance of the NOAA PORTS operations in Chesapeake Bay, Delaware River, and Narragansett Bay. The NOAA PORTS (Physical Oceanographic Real Time System) acquires and disseminates wind, wave, current, tidal, conductivity, and temperature parameters to public websites. The Woods Hole Group, as prime O&M contractor is responsible for the daily operational status of 32 stations in these three regions. Project Management tasks included contractual negotiations, contract compliance, day to day management of service tasks for call out work, and emergency service call out work to maintain system operational status.

Mobil Drilling Unit – Met-Ocean Data Acquisition Program – Project Manager
Multiple International Oil Company installations of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) instrumentation along with meteorological instrumentation to monitor current induced stresses on oil exploratory and production drilling operations in deep water. Projects were based in Australia, Brazil, and West Africa. Project Management responsibilities included proposal presentation, contract negotiations, contract compliance for all issues including health and safety, and logistical support for daily operations.

International Remediation Programs – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – Project Manager
Site investigations and data compilation for a major environmentally impacted region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for remediation and restoration of the environment. Spilled oil from the 1991 Gulf War and the damage to the desert ecosystems associated with the military operations in the deserts of the northeastern portion of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have created a lingering health and environmental problem. Three major environments were involved: coastal shorelines, terrestrial deserts, and sub-tidal regions. Project Management responsibilities included in-country contract implementation with sub-contractors, in-country logistical support, detailed RTK GPS Geodetic Surveying, contract compliance, overall logistic support, and reporting/documentation tasks.

Pre Construction Survey, Kuwait, Resident Project Manager.
A one year environmental assessment study of the onshore geological conditions and offshore oceanographic conditions to determine the optimal location of a new power plant.  The study included geotechnical investigations and meteorological conditions on land, and a near shore ocean circulation patterns studies to optimize the intake and discharge cooling water structures for the new power plant.  Detailed bathymetric studies were performed as well as sediment transport studies.

Pre Construction Surveys, Columbia, South America, Resident Project Manager.
A 9 month environmental assessment study with offshore geological and geophysical studies to determine the optimal location for new coal export terminal.

Site Survey, Egypt, Resident Project Manager.
A three month project to determine the cost to renovate an existing Egyptian Navy base as a new forward development base for the US Forces.  Detailed bathymetric studies, onshore site surveying, bathymetric and geophysical investigations to determine alternate routes of approach.
