A state of the art technology

resulting from a partnership with IRD

Waves’n See was created in Toulouse, France by Yves Soufflet and Clément Mayet, two oceanographers. With the support of IRD’s knowledge transfer department, Waves’n See developed the Wavecams technology, based on years of advanced research in coastal oceanography. Wavecams’ smart algorithms allow monitoring of underwater processes by looking at the sea surface.
