The following University of Victoria experts are available to media to discuss World Oceans Day, marked on June 8.

Vanier scholar Hailey Davies is co-leading an education program called FishSounds Educate; an initiative that engages all ages in ocean literacy through the exploration of recorded fish sounds and interactive games.

From helping to convert seaweed overgrowth into benefits for the blue economy, to improving travel across sea ice, two University of Victoria projects on Monday [eds note: June 3] received nearly $4 million in federal support to advance climate solutions.

The powerful solar storm driving the aurora borealis over global skies last weekend was also triggering the movement of compasses deep in the ocean, as revealed in new scientific findings shared today by Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), a University of Victoria initiative.

The following UVic experts are available to media to discuss environmental and climate change topics ahead of Earth Day (April 22).

As ocean temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, marine plankton may be the newest candidate to act as an oceanic early alert system. According to a new Nature paper from UVic micropaleontologist Andy Fraass, and a team of international collaborators at the University of Bristol and Harvard University, an analysis of the fossil record shows that changes to community structure take place long before mass extinction occurs.

Canadian and European experts in polar observation are joining forces in a new partnership that will see Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) operating a subsea observatory at the Spanish Antarctic Station, providing year-round, near real-time data on ocean conditions there—the first time that ONC will extend its ocean monitoring outside Canadian waters.

Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) expands the reach of Pacific Ocean monitoring with new deep-sea Argo floats that collect vital ocean data while traveling up and down through the water column, the space between the sea surface and the seafloor.

A list of experts available to media for comments on topics related to the UN Climate Change Conference COP28 UAE, which takes place from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Saying that someone’s science degree was full of science feels a bit obvious, but for Meghan Molnar, it really is the best way to describe her UVic experience.

UVic biology professor Amanda Bates has been awarded the 2023 Arthur B. McDonald Fellowship by NSERC in recognition of her scholarship and research related to ocean conservation.

A new UVic marine facility will measure the effects of marine climate change on organisms and contribute to restoration and conservation efforts.

Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) has recorded the highest daily average summertime temperatures at two of its seafloor observatory sites in the northeast Pacific Ocean since continuous live monitoring started there in 2009.

As the world grapples with hot ocean temperatures, new UVic research shows marine heatwave coral impact is worse than we thought before.

Injecting CO2 into ocean basalt has almost no risk of triggering seismic activity like earthquakes or fault slip according to new research from Solid Carbon, a climate change mitigation project.
