ORE Seminar: Maker Buoy: Enabling Low-Cost Ocean Monitoring

March 12, 3:30pm - 4:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Holmes Hall 247

This talk will discuss the journey of the Maker Buoy, a low-cost open-source drifter design started in 2018. Since then, the design has evolved into several form-factors for in-situ collection, and transmission of environmental data via SatCom. As of 2025, over 400 Maker Buoy devices have been produced for the educational, research, and commercial communities. // Wayne Pavalko, Program Manager, Johns Hopkins University Applied Research Laboratory // *In-person (HOLM 247) & via zoom* Zoom link Meeting ID: 963 5962 3640 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96359623640
