New Findings Presented at Ocean Sciences 2014

A new batch of interesting talks and posters were presented at the February 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting by scientists using Ocean Networks Canada data and facilities. These included work by scientists in a range of disciplines as well as several of our staff members. 

Marine Biology

Inter- and Intra-Annual Variability of Zooplankton Abundance in Saanich Inlet, British Columbia

This poster by researchers at the University of Washington, Institute of Ocean Sciences and the University of Victoria presents an innovative way to visualize echosounder data to the variability of zooplankton abundance and migration patterns.

Redistribution of the Epibenthic, Soft-Bottom Assemblage in Shifting Hypoxic Conditions

This paper by University of Victoria researchers examines the distributions and compositions of epibenthic communities in shifting hypoxic conditions.

Small Critters Play a Big Role: Benthic Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Coastal Sedimentary Environments

This poster by Renald Belley and Paul Snelgrove describes the effects environmental variables have on ecosystem functioning in coastal British Columbia sedimentary ecosystems.

High Spatial and Temporal Resolution Oxygen Measurments in the Strait of Georgia and Their Relationship to Primary Production

This poster by researchers at the University of British Columbia examines temporal and spatial variations of dissolved oxygen corrolated with other parameters in the Strait of Georgia.

Impact of Wind, Tides, and River Flow on Circulation in the Fraser River Plume

This presentation by researchers at the University of British Columbia presents analyses of the first year of high-frequency coastal radar data from the very dynamic confluence of the Fraser River into the Salish Sea.

Near Field and Far-Field Modeling of the 28 October 2012 Haida Gwaii Tsuanmi

This poster by researchers at the Institute of Ocean Sciences presents model analyses of propagation and run-ups of the October 2012 Haida Gwaii tsunami.

Profiling Systems on Cabled Observatories: Experiences in the Northeast Pacific

This poster by Ocean Networks Canada staff scientists describes experiences and challenges of operating vertical profiling systems in the northeast Pacific and Salish Sea.

Venus Ocean Observatory Measurements of Benthic Oxygen and Heat Fluxes

This poster by researchers at Oregon State University and the University of Victoria describes an international collaborative study of benthic oxygen and heat fluxes, based on an unprecedented, 4-month 32-Hz acquisition of oxygen, temperature, and velocity data.

Education & Outreach

Nurturing Enthusiasm in K-16 Students For Ocean Science and Tech Through Interdisciplinary Peer-2-Peer Mentoring

This poster by Ocean Networks Canada staff members describes an ocean science symposium, which gives high school students have had an opportunity to increase their ocean literacy and be inspired to engage in ocean science research, education and advocacy.
