Trauthwein, Associate Publisher & Editor Email: [email protected] Last month another outstanding ?Oceans? conference and exhibi- tion came and went in sunny San Diego, California, a quintessential venue for what is arguably the strongest annual subsea gathering in North America. Next year Oceans heads to the near exact opposite corner of the continent, as St. Johns, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada will host the event from September 14-19, 2014. St. Johns brought its traditional strong contingent of companies and executives to San Diego, and its excitement to host the 2014 event was palpable. While in San Diego we had ample opportunity to visit with a multitude of col- leagues and friends, but one that stood out in particular was with Hans de Salas- Del Valle, a business development analyst at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, a division of the University of California, San Diego. Scripps needs no introduc- tion to the MTR audience, but in speaking with de Salas-Del Valle we did learn of the renewed push at Scripps to take some of the cutting edge technology from the Institution and bring it into the commercial marketplace through partnership and licensing agreement. With this we put our regional reporter, Kathleen Gleaves on the case, and she delivers, starting on page 31, an insightful look at not only Scripps and the technology it fosters, but three speci c technologies and three speci c companies that have made the leap from the halls of academia to the com- mercial market: MRV Systems and the vertical  oating pro le; EarthRisk Tech- nologies and its algorithms that help make long-term weather predictions; and Quad Geometrics and its marine electromagnetic technology.
