Society for Underwater Technology The Society was founded in 1966 to promote the further understanding of the under- water environment. It is a multi-disciplinary body with a worldwide membership of scientists and engineers who are active or have a common interest in underwater technology, ocean science and offshore engineering. Committees The Society has a number of Committees to study such topics as: Diving and Submersibles Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics Environmental Forces and Physical Oceanography Ocean Resources Subsea Engineering and Operations Education and Training Conference and Seminars An extensive programme is organized to cater for the diverse interests and neC'ds of the membership. An annual programme usually comprises four conferences and a much greater number of one-day seminars plus evening meetings and an occasional visit to a place of technical interest. The Society has organized over 100 seminars in London, Aberdeen and other appropriate centres during the past decade. Attendanc~ at these events is available at significantly reduced levels of registration fees for Members or staff of Corporate Members. Publications Proceedings of the more recent conferences have been published in this series of Advances in Underwater Technology, Ocean Science and Offshore Engineering. These and other publications produced separately by the Society are available through the Society to members at a reduced cost. A careers pack 'Oceans of Opportunity' has been produced by the Society in response to the growing demand by students schools and colleges for up-to-date information. Journal The Society's quarterly journal Underwater Technology caters for the whole spectrum of the inter-disciplinary interests and professional involvement of its readership. It includes papers from authoritative international sources on such subjects as: Diving Technology and Physiology Civil Engineering Submersible Design and Operation Geology and Geophysics Subsea Systems Naval Architecture Marine Biology and Pollution Oceanography Petroleum Exploration and Production Environmental Data An Editorial Board has responsibility for ensuring that a high standard of quality and presentation of papers reflects a coherent and balanced coverage of the Society's diverse subject interests; through the Editorial Board, a procedure for assessment of papers is conducted. Endowment fund A separate fund has been established to provide tangible incentives to students to acquire knowledge and skills in underwater technology or related aspects of ocean science and offshore engineering. Postgraduate students have been sponsored to study to MSc level and subject to the growth of the fund it is hoped to extend this activity. Awards An annual President's Award is presented for a major achievement in underwater technology. In addition there is a series of sponsored annual awards by some Corporate Members for the best contribution to diving operations and oceanography, and for the best technical paper in the Journal FURTHER INFORMATION If you would like to receive further details, please contact Society for Underwater Technology, The Memorial Building, 76 Mark Lane, London EC3R 7JN.
