  2. Welcome to UWA! The University of Western Australia acknowledges that its Crawley campus is situated on Noongar land, that the Noongar people remain the spiritual and cultural custodians of their land and continue to practice their values, languages, beliefs and knowledge.

  3. We’re proud to say… • We are a top 100 university in the world! • The Faculty of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences is ranked in the world's top 100 for: • Mineral and Mining engineering: 5th • Marine/ Ocean Engineering: 12th • Environmental Science and Engineering: 18th

  4. The Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre • Home to 4 of Australia’s leading organisations working around the Indian Ocean • Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) • CSIRO • Department of Fisheries WA • UWA’s Ocean’s Institute • Over 300 researchers • Multi-disciplinary approach on diverse problems

  5. Today is about sharing our knowledge and our facilities with you. • It is also a chance for you to ask any questions you still have and get prepared to finish the competition!

  6. Connectors, Biofouling and ROVs Terry Griffiths PhD Researcher

  7. Very deep = high pressure • ROV = Remotely Operated Vehicle • This ROV is cutting into a pipe in deep water • There is no pressure inside the pipe, but high pressure due to the depth outside. • Strange things happen in deep water… Video 1

  8. Living Under Pressure • Deep sea divers live in ‘saturation’ under pressure for around 4 weeks at a time • Can you imagine living with 12 people for 4 weeks in something about the size of a caravan? • They breathe a mixture of helium with a little bit of oxygen at very high pressure Video 2 Image courtesy Kongsberg

  9. Tools of the Trade • ROVs are remotely • controlled robots • They go deeper, • Are more powerful, • Are safer than divers Video 3
