As carbon dioxide levels in the earth’s atmosphere continue to rise as a result of our burning fossil fuels, the water in our oceans is becoming more acidic. The results can be devastating for BC’s farmed shellfish, which rely on a certain chemical …

Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), an initiative of the University of Victoria, has expanded its footprint across Canada with the launch of a new collaboration with the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE) on the Atlantic coast.

A new University of Victoria-led radioactivity monitoring network is looking for volunteer “citizen scientists” along the BC coast to collect water samples and share science-based information on ocean health within their communities. The InFORM netw…

After a year and a half in development with the Government of Nunavut and the community of Cambridge Bay, a new mini-observatory created by UVic's Ocean Networks Canada is now streaming continuous data from the Arctic seafloor.

The University of Victoria's Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) is making its first foray into the Arctic, just as the sea ice extent is setting a new record low. The observatory has been granted a five-year research license from the Nunavut Research Insti…

UVic chemical oceanographer Jay Cullen is leading the formation of a new marine radioactivity monitoring network that will engage scientists in Canada and the US, health experts, NGOs and citizen scientists along the BC coast.

UVic’s world-leading Ocean Networks Canada embarks on a bold new phase of ocean monitoring.   The British Columbia coast is about to become the “smartest” on the planet. Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), an initiative of the University of Victoria, is partnering with Western Economic Diversification Canada and IBM Canada on a three-year multimillion dollar project known as Smart Oceans BC. Smart Oceans BC builds on the know-how and proven technologies of VENUS and NEPTUNE—the world’s most advanced cabled ocean observatories—to develop and install a series of mini-observatories, high-frequency radars, and automated vessel information systems at key points along the BC coast.
