Scope
The SUT’s interests and the scope of the journal were interdisciplinary, covering technological aspects and applications of topics including: diving technology and physiology, environmental forces, geology/geotechnics, marine pollution, marine renewable energies, marine resources, oceanography, salvage and decommissioning, subsea systems, underwater acoustics, underwater robotics, underwater science and underwater vehicle technologies.
Submissions
Sadly, Underwater Technology is no longer in production and we are not accepting submissions. For more information, contact Emily Boddy at emily.boddy@sut.org.
The journal carried personal views, technical papers, technical briefings and book reviews. We invited such news and articles covering all aspects and applications of underwater technology. Original papers on new technology, its development and applications, or covering new applications for existing technology, were particularly welcome. All full technical papers submitted for publication were peer-reviewed through the Editorial Advisory Board.
While Underwater Technology is not ISI rated, SUT had not charged authors for submissions.
