RBR permits traceable calibration for oceanographic instruments including temperature to +/- 0.002 degrees, conductivity to +/- 0.003 mS/cm and pressure to +/- 0.015%. In house cal- ibration of DO, pH, ORP and tur- bidity complement those for the fun- damental physical measurements.

Rockland Scientific designs and manufactures high-accuracy instru- mentation for oceanographic research, and is a supplier of measure- ment systems for microstructure tur- bulence in natural waters. The com- pany was founded by Rolf Lueck and

Fabian Wolk, both physical oceanog- raphers, who translated their academ- ic careers into a thriving business that supplies researchers and ocean indus- try with tools and know-how for ocean turbulence measurements.

Rockland Scientific's achievement is to have turned this specialized research equipment into turn-key, compact, and reliable instrumenta- tion that can be operated by a variety of researchers. For example, the

Vertical Microstructure Profiler (VMP) can be configured for deploy- ment in coastal areas, as well as for deep sea applications up to 5500 m depth.

Rotech Subsea provides mass flow excavation services for multiple appli- cations such as pipeline trenching, wellhead excavations, platform pile excavations, rock dump excavations, and cable trenching. The tools were designed with precise excavation power and stability in mind. Water is brought in through two counter- rotating impellors and redirected to the seabed in the form of a high velocity, high volume, yet low pres- sure water column that can move materials with shear strengths of up to 60 Kpa. While hung from the ves- sel's crane or A-Frame, a multibeam sonar system that is attached to the tool shows a picture of all hard mate- rials which aids in locating problem areas and shows trench depth.
