Hugh Roarty

Hugh Roarty is an award winning speaker and recipient of the John P. Breslin Award for outstanding research in ocean engineering. He is currently a Research Project Manager with the Coastal Ocean Observation Laboratory at Rutgers University. His research interests focus on improving the remote sensing and in situ measurements and instrumentation used to measure the physical and biological aspects of the ocean. This is an exciting time as unmanned aerial vehicles begin to develop into operational tools. The application of these vehicles for the collection of remote sensing oceanographic data will transform how oceanography is conducted.
