DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nA unique class of sensors\, distributed optical 
 fibre sensors (DOFS)\, provides a measurement of the physical quantity of 
 interest at each point along a sensing optical fibre. The technology\, com
 mercial for distributed temperature sensors for some 30 years\, is continu
 ing to improve and to broaden to new measurands and applications. DOFS hav
 e created completely new opportunities for monitoring assets that were pre
 viously uneconomic or simply impossible to measure at more than a few disc
 rete locations. \n\nThe talk will provide a technology primer on these sen
 sors and describe some of their applications\, with an emphasis on emergin
 g DOFS and the new capabilities that they provide. \n\n\n*About the speake
 r*\n\nArthur Hartog has been immersed in distributed optical fibre sensors
  since their inception in 1980. His work has spanned the demonstration of 
 the first distributed temperature sensor through to its commercialisation 
 and on-going development and the validation of applications at York Sensor
 s Ltd\, a spin-out of Southampton University. Since joining Schlumberger i
 n 2001 through its acquisition of York Sensors’ parent company\, Arthur 
 has engaged in research into new types of distributed optical fibre sensor
  systems and their field demonstrations. \n
