Welcome to MARELEC 2013
Welcome to MARELEC 2013, the 8th international conference on marine electromagnetics, to be held
at the Helmut Schmidt University of the German Forces in Hamburg. The city of Hamburg is well
known in Germany as “The Gateway to the World” with the second biggest harbour in Europe and a
long lasting maritime history.
The MARELEC 2013 conference on marine electromagnetics offers a unique chance to meet delegates
from academic, industry, experimental and military background. Cutting edge technologies and
developments will be presented by leading scientists, engineers and academics in the various disciplines
of geophysics, geotechnical engineering, oceanography and naval warfare. Presentations are supported by
an exhibition and poster programme offering the opportunity to discuss and strengthen the international
network of marine electromagnetics.
The conference team, the Center for Ship Signature Management and I are looking forward to meeting you
in Hamburg at MARELEC 2013.
