The extent of habitat compression and hypoxia in Saanich Inlet from the 2016 hypoxia cycle

​

Guest post by Dr. Jackson Chu, Post-doctoral fellow, Fisheries & Oceans, Canada

Dr. Jackson Chu

As part of his PhD research at the University of Victoria, Jackson examined the ecology of oxygen deficient systems by using Ocean Networks Canada data collected over the last decade. As an early adopter to seafloor observatories, his research and participation in ONC field research can be dated back to his first expedition with VENUS in 2007.

How do you determine when a system has become oxygen deficient, or hypoxic, for the species in our marine ecosystems? Part of the answer comes from mapping...

Introduction to Barkley Canyon

Wally the crawler collecting data in ONC's Barkley Canyon observatory.

Barkley Canyon at a Glance:

  • Region: Extending from the continental shelf edge, at a depth of 400 m, and continuing down the continental slope to the canyon axis, at a depth of 985 m, Barkley Canyon is located at the leading edge of the Cascadia subduction zone.
  • Number of...

Ocean Drilling Program 1027 Installation at Cascadia Basin

On 29 August 2009 we began a series of intensive dives to install instruments at our Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) 1027 (Cascadia Basin) location. This site, in the centre of the Juan de Fuca Plate, is critically important for several NEPTUNE Canada research projects, including Ocean Crustal Hydrogeology , Seismograph Network  and West Coast "Tsunami-meter" .

Ocean Crustal Hydrogeology

Ten boreholes were drilled across the Juan de Fuca Plate between 1991 and 2003 by the Ocean and Integrated Ocean Drilling Programs (ODP/IODP) expressly for the installation of "CORK" (Circulation Obviation Retrofit Kit) hydrologic observatories. These CORKs allow geoscientists to...
