Meet some of the XOCEAN Team
XOCEAN was founded in early 2017 and has offices in Ireland, UK, the US, Canada, Norway and Australia. Collectively, the team has many decades of experience in technology development and operational delivery in a marine environment.
Duncan is the CSO of XOCEAN. He has over 29 years’ experience in the collection, processing and analysis of ocean data. A highly skilled hydrographic surveyor, Duncan was a pioneer and early adopter of high-resolution multibeam technology in the early 1990s and helped push the boundaries of multibeam technology from its infancy to the de facto tool for seabed mapping that it is today.
Charlotte processes and analyses multibeam echo sounder data and is responsible for preparing the final reports and deliverables for seabed surveys. With a passion for seabed mapping, Charlotte has particularly enjoyed working on the UK civil hydrography programme, a systematic survey of UK coastal waters, administered by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
