A Tenth Anniversary Inshore Maintenance Cruise

The Canadian Coast Guard Ship John P. Tully in Saanich Inlet.

The Canadian Coast Guard Ship John P. Tully in Saanich Inlet.

Ocean Networks Canada's tenth annual expedition season began on 28 April 2016 with an 8-day cruise to maintain the ocean observing instrumentation and platforms in Saanich Inlet and the Strait of Georgia. The Canadian Coast Guard Ship John P. Tully and the ITB Subsea Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Oceanic Explorer supported the recovery, repair and deployment of seafloor installations and...

2013 EcoEvo Retreat

The EcoEvo Retreat is a conference that gives graduate students, undergrads, and post-docs the opportunity to share their research in ecology and evolutionary biology. Participating institutions include the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria. The 2013 conference took place November 1–3 at the Cheakamus Centre, in Brackendale BC, near Squamish.

Keynote speaker Dr. Julia Baum talked about “Ecological & Mental Resilience,” offering her insights on how to thrive in a science career. Some of her advice included the following: be persistent; recognize that your time is valuable; guard your integrity; and engage in science outreach. Slides from the keynote talk are available by clicking ...

CSI Salish Sea

This series of forensics experiments began in 2006 when Dr. Gail Anderson, a forensic entomologist from Simon Fraser University deployed the first pig carcass – a human body proxy - at 96m in Saanich Inlet. A subsea camera connected to the VENUS network was the main research instrument to monitor state of the carcass. Using the interactive capability of the networked subsea camera, Dr. Anderson conducted observations, took photos and recorded videos of the events, connecting to camera over the Internet from her home and office at Simon Fraser University as well as at various locations around Canada and the world. Initial results revealed that despite low oxygen conditions in the Saanich Inlet, a large number of crustacea removed the bulk of the soft tissue very rapidly. Captured...
