Eric Boget is a Principal Engineer at the Applied Physics Laboratory University of Washington. In this role, he provides project management and engineering support for APL field programs including oceanographic systems design, fabrication and installation. Eric’s primary focus and expertise is the deployment and recovery of complex oceanographic systems at sea. In addition, Eric manages the Applied Physics Laboratory’s coastal research vessels. Eric holds a Bachelor’s degree from the US Merchant Marine Academy and is licensed by the US Coast Guard as both a Master and Engineer. He joined the laboratory in 1990.

Projects
Ice Exercises 2016 Logistics and Engineering Support Every few years, APL-UW engineers travel to the Arctic to provide logistics and engineering support to the U.S. Navy submarine force and the Arctic Submarine Laboratory. They assemble a reliable shelter on the sea ice and assist with the experimental testing of scientific and military equipment in the Arctic environment. |

As oceanographers seek to deploy their field sensors for longer subsea campaigns, advances in mooring line construction and technology are enabling new approaches to moorings. No longer is the mooring line a passive element; instead, the development of the first inductive power mooring line by high-performance fiber-rope maker Pillystran allow it to function as an integral part of the oceanographic monitoring system. |
