The Maritime Archaeology certificate program is an interdisciplinary field of study that merges knowledge in maritime history and archaeology to focus on how humans of the past interfaced with the world’s waterways. The certificate helps prepare students for graduate school in this field. Through this program, students with no diving experience will gain advanced diving qualifications and basic maritime archaeological skills that will allow them to assist in maritime archaeological projects.

Learn how to study, manage and preserve maritime cultural heritage, including shipwrecks, submerged cultural landscapes and shoreline settlements. Students are required to complete emergency response and first aid courses, and three semesters of diving class, including Beginner, Master, and Scientific Diving classes. Upon completion, students will have diving qualifications and basic maritime archaeological skills to prepare them for graduate school programs in maritime archaeology and to assist in maritime archaeological projects.

Classes are offered through the Department of Anthropology and the School of Applied Health.

The Naval Submarine Force Library & Museum is requesting service for the restoration and repair of the HA-8 Japanese Midget submarine, located in the outdoor exhibit area at the North entrance of the museum. The preservation of this artifact will ensure future generations of guests and visitors will be able to examine a critical piece of submarine history and development. The Repairs will require an extensive analysis of the submarine’s current state, to include an analysis of the existing steel, extent of rust/pitting damage, and weld/patch repairs to the stern/rudder assembly and hull, as well as any other portion deemed necessary by evaluation. An outside contractor specializing in steel will be required for specific repairs. The goal of this effort is to make necessary repairs to the HA-8, ensuring the artifact remains stable for posterity.

Among the tender requirements are the preparation of an archaeological heritage impact assessment report and a potential impact assessment project, both onshore and offshore.

“In addition to the usual archaeological research carried out in land sections for the purpose of environmental licensing, subsea archaeological research will also be conducted for the SEAP project,” Petrobras told Upstream.

The studies, according to Petrobras, will be based on hydro graphic data with the use of autonomous underwater vehicles capable of operating in water depths of up to 3000 metres.

“In case there is the need to recover any artefact on the seabed, remotely operated vehicles must be used and, for this purpose, specific vessels adapted for launching ROVs will be utilised,” Petrobras added.

CreaMare – Open Call for Creative Professionals

The CREAMARE project will involve marine archaeologists, ocean scientists, and creative industry experts, such as graphic designers, 3D artists, level designers, and sound designers. Together, they will co-produce a Serious Game focused on Underwater Cultural Heritage and Ocean Literacy.

About the Serious Game
This game will allow players to explore highly realistic 3D digital models of eight underwater cultural sites. Players will visit these sites to solve riddles and face challenges related to cultural heritage and environmental threats, such as oil spills from shipwrecks and ghost nets damaging marine life.

The game story takes place in a dystopian future, where scientists, while attempting to combat marine pollution, inadvertently created a mutated creature that now threatens the deep sea and its hidden treasures. To protect UCH, players must fight the source of pollution by resolving some ecological issues and bringing back historical artifacts to their belonging sites. Selected candidates will receive the detailed storyboard after signing a cooperation agreement.

To whom this call is addressed
This call is aimed to select six creative professionals, which are:

• 3D artists – 2 persons
• Unity level designers – 3 persons
• Sound designer – 1 person

They will support the CREAMARE project by joining all partners in the co-production of the Serious Game.
