Deep Dives Talks with Dr. Dawn Wright about All Things Ocean Mapping

In this episode, we sit down with Molly Donohue Magee, CEOof the Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium (UTIC), to explore the rapidly evolving world of undersea and maritime technology. The conversation looks at the role collaboration plays in moving new technologies from ideas to real-world applications, the importance of connecting industry, academia, and government, and the opportunities and challenges facing the undersea technology community. 

Explore how Siemens Energy’s BlueDrive PlusC is helping reshape marine power and propulsion. This episode examines the evolution of low-voltage DC technology, its role in vessel electrification, and how flexible power architectures are enabling more efficient, reliable, and sustainable ships, from ferries and commercial vessels to research and naval fleets.

Brendan Thorton, Port Captain for the R/V Endeavor, and Erich Gruebel, Scientific Service Manager for the vessel, both in the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, joined Rhonda Moniz on the DEEP DIVE podcast to discuss the vessel and its accomplishments ahead of its retirement after 50 years of service. 

Fifty years ago, history was made when the U.S. Navy graduated its first female deep sea diver. Half a century later, we’re sitting down with three trailblazing women who followed in those footsteps — breaking barriers, conquering physical and cultural challenges, and shaping the future of naval diving.

Dawn Massa Stancavish, President, CEO, and Chief Innovation Officer, Massa Products Corporation, recently joined Rhonda Moniz on the DEEP DIVE podcast to discuss this innovative company’s rich history and its role in helping to inspire a new generation of technology workers.

Listen to the newest Deep Dive podcast episode, where we have the pleasure of chatting with Vincent Capone, a seasoned marine technology expert with a 35-year career in marine technology. Vince has worked on some of the most critical underwater search and survey operations worldwide. Because of his exceptional work on the Apollo 11 recovery project, he earned the Explorer's Club Citation of Merit. Vince was also a key player on the team that searched for debris from the Columbia disaster. What has Vince learned during his long and impressive career? Take advantage of this chance to hear from someone with tremendous underwater search and survey experience! Join us on Deep Dive!
