A UNSW academic's innovative research uses ocean currents to optimize shipping routes and reduce the environmental impact of sea transport.

Australian professor makes ‘Google Maps for the sea' claim in bid to cut shipping emissions

A University of New South Wales academic’s research using ocean currents to optimise shipping routes is making waves in Australia. To find more efficient routes for cargo ships, associate professor Shane Keating, a researcher in oceanography and applied mathematics at UNSW Sydney, has developed an algorithm using ocean models and AI. “With better ocean forecasts, …

New 'Google Maps for the sea' to cut shipping industry’s CO2 emissions

A UNSW academic’s research uses ocean currents to optimise shipping routes and reduce the environmental impact of sea transport. To find more efficient routes for cargo ships, Associate Professor Shane Keating, a researcher in oceanography and applied mathematics at UNSW Sydney, has developed an algorithm using state-of-the-art ocean models and artificial intelligence (AI).
