VLIZ recruits: Researcher offshore palaeolandscape exploration

https://www.vliz.be/en/jobs/vliz-recruits-researcher-offshore-palaeolandscape-exploration

The southwestern area of the North Sea contains the remains of a vast landmass that connected continental Europe with the British Isles during periods of sea-level lowstands. Usually referred to as “Doggerland”, the area would have been a heartland of human occupation and central to the process of re-settlement and colonisation of northwestern Europe during the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods.

Global warming at the end of the last Ice Age led to the inundation of these lost lands. Today, the North Sea holds a unique and largely unexplored record of prehistoric settlement and colonization. Access to this archaeological resource is hampered by deep water and thick modern
sediments. Whilst archaeological evidence has been recovered, it consists largely of ex-situ chance finds, with limited potential for understanding human settlement within the wider landscape.

Within the SUBNORDICA project, and in close collaboration with colleagues from the UK (University of Bradford) and The Netherlands (TNO), VLIZ will assist in reconstructing the palaeolandscapes of the southern North Sea at a variety of geographical and temporal scales, using existing and newly acquired geophysical and geomorphological datasets. This will provide key input for the partners involved in predictive and behavioural modelling and AI training sets in order to classify areas with archaeological potential and to assess their accessibility for investigation.

The main task of VLIZ in the SUBNORDICA project concerns the analysis of existing offshore data (including commercial (oil/gas, windfarm) data), the collection and analysis of new geophysical and sedimentological data in the southern North Sea, and mapping of the top-Pleistocene (noneroded) surface and its attributes.

OUR OFFER

We offer you a challenging job in the dynamic environment of the InnovOcean Campus in Ostend.
A contract for 3 years, with the possibility of extension, and a competitive remuneration package based on the candidate’s qualifications and experience according to the salary scales set forth by the Flemish Government on 01-01-2009.
Additional benefits: holiday allowance, end of year allowance, meal vouchers (€8 per day worked), bicycle allowance, free public transport between home and work.
A good work-life balance through a generous leave package and flexible working hours within a 38-hour working week.
The possibility to work partly from home (meaning from your legal home address in Belgium) after an induction period.
Opportunities for personal development (training).

YOUR TASKS

To work out an optimal approach/workflow for the interpretation of geophysical data and mapping of the (non-eroded) top Pleistocene surface, including characterization of its attributes;
To collate and analyze existing (legacy) geophysical and geological data;
To process, interpret and visualize new seismic and acoustic (2D) data;
To plan, perform and develop strategies for the acquisition of data at sea;
To assist with the collection, analysis and interpretation of sedimentological core data;
To construct paleogeographic maps at different scales;
To liaise with TNO for the access and analysis of Dutch survey data;
To liaise with the University of Bradford for the access and analysis of UK (mega)survey data;
To liaise with the University of Bradford and TNO for the input of data for (behavioural/predictive) modelling;
To participate in meetings and interact with SUBNORDICA partners;
To provide general support to the project including preparation of shiptime applications, (public) presentations, developing information for publication and media, and organization of consortium and stakeholder meetings;
To actively participate in project meetings and provide project deliverables (e.g. reports);

Your main responsabilities include:

To maintain research output in the form of high-quality peer reviewed publications;
To present research findings at public events and national and/or international scientific conferences;
To provide support and assistance to other (VLIZ) staff members in the completion of duties and programs of work;
To undertake the duties in such a way as to promote the project and enhance the reputation and public profile of VLIZ;
To undertake any other relevant duties appropriate to the grade and nature of the post.

For each function, VLIZ considers enthusiastic involvement, service minded, excellent professionalism and integrity as important characteristics.

Travelers of the Sea – Conference on Maritime History, Marine Archaeology and Ethnology

https://smhy.fi/en/activities/travellers-sea-conference

WELCOME TO THE TRAVELLERS OF THE SEA -CONFERENCE!

REGISTRATION IS OPEN: Registration form

Experience three cities and two countries during this travelling conference that will take place at the Maritime Centre Forum Marinum, Turku, House of Sciences and Letters in Helsinki, Finland and at the Estonian Maritime Museum in Tallinn, Estonia, on 11th–13th June 2026. It is organised by the Finnish Maritime History Association, the Finnish Maritime Archaeological Society, the Estonian Maritime Museum and the Maritime Centre Forum Marinum. As with the 12 earlier biannual Maritime History Days conferences, we aim to bring together scholars and students working on maritime history and related fields such as maritime archaeology, ethnology and maritime folklore.

The conference programme is now published and includes three keynote lectures, held by Dr. Kaori Nagai (Senior Lecturer in Victorian Literature, University of Kent), Dr. Mirja Arnshav (Research Coordinator, The National Maritime Museum, Stockholm), and Dr. Matteo Barbano (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow, University of Genoa). Please find the progamme and an introduction of our keynote speakers below.

The overall theme of the conference is travelling by sea, with no temporal or geographical limits and with a multispecies approach. Travelling by sea is probably as old as human society. Furthermore, non-human animals have always travelled across the seas voluntarily or otherwise. Sea travel has countless purposes: to explore the world, to make trade connections, to migrate, or to cruise. Sometimes the voyagers have been forced to escape from disasters or violent regimes. The Gulf of Finland, for instance, has connected Estonians and Finns for centuries, from the seprakauppa/sõbrakaubandus trade to our own time when the sea area between Tallinn and Helsinki is one of the busiest ferry routes in the world. The increased mobility by people and goods has also raised questions on the sustainability of sea travel. More on the conference themes and topics can be found in our CFP below.

We aim to promote interdisciplinary encounters and discussions, with the goal of bringing together scholars worldwide. The conference is intended for anyone working with topics somehow relating to the sea and maritime travel – previous experience with maritime history, maritime archaeology, or maritime ethnology specifically is not necessary. The bi-annual, peer-reviewed journal Nautica Fennica will be offering participants the possibility to submit their papers in the journal. The publishing decisions will be made by the Nautica Fennica editorial board. More on Nautica Fennica here: https://smhy.fi/en/activities/nautica-fennica.

Programme: Programme_2026_Travellers.pdf

Keynote introductions: Travellers of the Sea_keynotes.pdf

CFP downloadable here: Call for Papers_Travellers_ 2026.pdf

Important:

Takes place on 11^th–13^th June 2026
Registration is open until 2.5.2026. Please note that the bookings are non-refundable.
The conference will be held in-person, and we cannot guarantee hybrid participation. Conference language is English apart from 11^th June, when the new researchers’ meeting will be held in Finnish and Swedish.

For any inquiries, please contact conference secretary Emilia Syväsalmi (talous[at]smhy.fi)

PhD Position in Automated Underwater Acoustic Inspection Methods

The proposed PhD thesis topic: “Acoustic Non-Destructive Evaluation for Marine Archaeology and Submerged Infrastructure”

https://academicpositions.com/ad/tallinn-university-of-technology/2026/phd-position-in-automated-underwater-acoustic-inspection-methods/243092

More than a thousand shipwrecks are known in the Baltic Sea, many of which still contain fuel, oil, or hazardous cargo. These wrecks continue to degrade over time due to progressive corrosion, yet their structural condition is often unknown. Regular inspection is severely constrained: visibility underwater is poor, manual diver-based surveys are costly, dangerous, and rarely feasible at depth. As a result, most wrecks are assessed only sporadically, and often only after environmental leakage becomes visible at the sea surface.

This doctoral project develops automated underwater acoustic inspection methods that enable non-contact characterization of submerged metallic structures using ultrasonic guided waves and acoustic arrays. The research focuses on extracting structural information from wavefields measured in water, with particular attention to corrosion detection and identification of internal liquid presence within wreck compartments. While shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea form the primary application scenario, the developed techniques are inherently general and applicable to offshore structures, ship hulls, flooded constructions, and underwater civil infrastructure.

The impact of the project lies in providing a scientific basis for future autonomous inspection systems for underwater structures, improving early detection capability, reducing inspection risk and cost, and supporting evidence-based environmental monitoring.

Scientific Background and Motivation

Assessing the condition of underwater archaeological sites, shipwrecks, and submerged infrastructure remains difficult because traditional inspection methods are constrained by poor visibility, access limitations, and the high cost and risk of diver operations. Sonar provides geometric information but cannot quantify corrosion or detect internal liquids, while contact-based ultrasonic thickness measurements require direct access and are impractical for large or hazardous structures.

Acoustic non-destructive evaluation using guided ultrasonic waves offers the potential for remote, wide-area sensing. Guided waves are inherently sensitive to corrosion, thinning, and fluid loading; however, their underwater application is fundamentally challenging. When structures are submerged, wave propagation is strongly altered by fluid–structure interaction, leading to energy leakage, dispersion changes, and increased attenuation.

A major scientific gap is that no unified physical or computational framework exists for interpreting guided waves in the presence of heavy fluid loading and complex environmental scattering. Rough, corroded surfaces, variable sound-speed profiles, bubble clouds, biological noise, and reflections from the free surface all produce distorted and multi-path wavefields that current NDE algorithms—developed for dry or contact conditions—cannot reliably interpret.

This PhD project addresses this gap by developing a physically informed and experimentally validated methodology for acoustic NDE in underwater environments, with shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea serving as the primary application. The broader motivation is to enable automated, non-contact inspection tools that can support marine archaeology, environmental monitoring, and the maintenance of submerged infrastructure.

Research Questions, Hypothesis and Work Plan

The central scientific hypothesis is that guided wavefields measured in submerged metallic structures contain sufficient information to estimate structural condition and internal fluid presence, provided that wave propagation mechanisms and fluid–structure interaction are adequately modelled and the signal processing framework is physically informed.

The research begins with finite-element modelling of guided ultrasonic waves in corroded plates under water, with and without internal liquid loading. These models are used to identify observable quantities related to thickness loss, scattering strength, modal conversion, and attenuation.

Building upon the modelling results, the project develops signal processing and imaging techniques for wavefield interpretation. These include mode separation, frequency–wavenumber analysis, energy-based mapping, and inversion techniques that aim to reconstruct thickness distributions or classify internal loading conditions. The robustness of these methods is studied under realistic conditions including measurement noise, incomplete scans, and environmental variability.

Experimental work is carried out using submerged steel samples with representative defect geometries. Ultrasonic transducers and acoustic arrays are used to measure wavefields in water under controlled laboratory conditions, followed by tests using robotic platforms in field environments. Numerical predictions and experimental data are continuously compared to refine both the physical models and inference algorithms.

The final phase of the work focuses on shipwreck structures as representative complex targets. The developed framework is tested on real cases where accessible, ensuring that the methods are grounded in practical constraints while remaining general enough for application to other underwater engineering structures.

Applicants should fulfil the following requirements:

Applicants should hold an MSc degree in engineering, applied physics, acoustics, or a related discipline and should demonstrate strong interest in wave physics, acoustic sensing, and quantitative non-destructive evaluation.

Essential qualifications:

Experience with numerical modelling and programming (MATLAB, Python, or C++)
Interest in wave physics, acoustics, or structural dynamics
Good proficiency in written and spoken English
Ability to work with experimental and simulated data

Highly desirable skills:

Experience with ultrasonics, guided waves, or structural health monitoring
Background in inverse problems, tomography, or computational imaging
Familiarity with finite-element modelling
Prior exposure to NDE, medical ultrasound, geophysics, or acoustics
Interest in underwater systems, robotics, or marine technology

Motivation to work in interdisciplinary research involving modelling, experiments, and field measurements is expected.

International Nautical Archaeology Foundation Funding

AWARDS:

https://www.nauticalarchaeologysociety.org/2026-inaf-awards

https://www.nauticalarchaeologysociety.org/inaf

The International Nautical Archaeology Foundation (INAF) was created in 2024 to advance the education of the public in the subject of nautical archaeology and to promote research for the public benefit in all aspects of the subject and to publish the useful results.

INAF has been created to facilitate the development of a grant giving programme with funds generated from an amazing $1million donation from the Edward & Saryl Von der Porten Trust, in the USA.

INAF has been registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (No.1210349) and is being administered by the NAS, acting as a Corporate Trustee, with representatives of the donor family in the USA acting as Members of INAF.

The inaugural INAF grant programme opens on the 1st January 2026 and closes on 28th February 2026.

INAF Grant Board

The grant decision-making for the International Nautical Archaeology Foundation is to be done by a Grant Board consisting of five representatives from key nautical archaeology organisations around the world (“Board Members”). Currently these five organisations are:

East Carolina University, Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies, Greenville, North Carolina, USA
Institute of Nautical Archaeology, College Station, Texas, USA
Nautical Archaeology Society, Portsmouth, UK
Australasian Institute for Maritime Archaeology, Adelaide, SA, Australia
Vasa Museum, Stockholm, Sweden

A member of the Von der Porten family also sits on the Grant Board. Board Members will individually recuse themselves from evaluating projects with which their individual organisations have a material connection. The Trustee will not be eligible to apply to the Fund.

Grant Purposes and Guidelines

INAF will support nautical archaeological endeavours, broadly defined to include underwater, intertidal, and terrestrial archaeological work on nautical subjects, including, but not limited to, shipwrecks, cargos, fishing, harbours, & shipbuilding sites.

Projects should have reasonable prospects for making significant contributions to knowledge of nautical archaeological matters, broadly defined. The applicability of the knowledge that is likely to be gained to wide audiences should be a major consideration in the selection process. Narrow projects with only small specialised audiences do not fit within the purview of the Fund.

In addition to archaeology fieldwork, laboratory work, creating illustrations, work on publications, printing costs, etc., which are follow-ups to fieldwork investigations, are included in this definition. The Fund encourages means of bringing knowledge of the results of nautical archaeology to a wide public in the form of publications in various media.

Carefully planned small projects with potential for development will be considered for funding. Proven success will not be a requirement for funding.

Projects that are primarily educational, such as fieldschools, lecture series, and public events, do not fit within the purview of the International Nautical Archaeology Fund. Funds shall not be granted for creating, managing or attending conferences, travel outside specific needs of a project, and similar non-research purposes.

*****

Our Approach to PublicationUndertaking research by itself is not a charitable purpose and confers little or no benefit to the public. To achieve such benefits the results of the research must be disseminated in a publicly accessible format, thus adding to the collective knowledge and understanding of humanity’s past in a nautical context.

Dissemination of the results of research in a publicly accessible format is therefore an integral component of any nautical archaeology project, as recognised by Rules 30 -36 of the Annex to the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural heritage 2001. As such, the INAF regards such dissemination to be an essential component of any proposal for award of a grant from the INAF.

The INAF will require as a condition of any grant awarded, the publication of the results of any research undertaken from funding provided. Such publication may be proportional to the funded research undertaken and may make take the form of, but not necessarily be limited to:

Publication on the INAF’s website or other Internet media outlet
Publication in popular literature, such as magazines and news periodicals
Publication in peer reviewed academic journals
Publication in monographs or books
Publication as documentary film or television program

It may be the case that two or more forms of publication may be intended to be undertaken in respect of research funded by the INAF. If so, applicants should expressly identify this in the application. Wherever possible, applicants may wish to identify the intention to provide a readily comprehensible form of publication for the general public as well as a more technical format for a specialised audience.
