Oceans link to climate change

December 23, 2020 - Jody Paterson

Deep in the ocean off Vancouver Island’s west coast, a gas associated with climate warming is making its way to the surface. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a product of plankton decomposition, pulled to the surface in areas where deep-sea waters migrate upwards in what’s known as coastal upwelling.

Where is it coming from? That’s a question that University of Victoria PhD student Brett Jameson is exploring, in collaboration with Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), a UVic initiative, and the Canadian...

Haida Gwaii Rumbles Picked Up on ONC's Hydrophone

Nov 2, 2012

From Alaska to Vancouver, residents along the west coast felt the powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck the Haida Gwaii archipelago at 8:04PM PDT, on October 27th, 2012. Ocean Networks Canada seafloor hydrophones also registered the low-frequency rumbles from this earthquake, along with the calls of humpback whales in the area.

Haida Gwaii Earthquake and Tsunami

Oct 27, 2012

A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck central Moresby Island in the Haida Gwaii archipelago at 8:04PM PDT, 27 October 2012. Residents along the west coast—from Alaska to Vancouver—also felt several aftershocks up to magnitude 5.8. However, no major damage or injuries were reported. This was the largest temblor to hit Canada since 1949, when an 8.1-magnitude quake hit west of the Queen Charlotte Islands, in the same area.

Delta Cable is Back for Repair

Oct 18, 2012

The orange reel is >5 km of extension cable on the deck of the powered barge “Georgia Transporter” after a successful recovery. The Delta cable supplies power and a communication link from the East Node in the Strait of Georgia (175 m) to an instrument platform near the mouth of the Fraser River. This cable was damaged in June 2012 by an underwater landslide and will be repaired and then redeployed in April 2013.

Tale of Two Tsunamis

Sep 5, 2012

A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck Chile in February 2010, generating a tsunami that crossed the Pacific, with measurable waves recorded throughout coastal British Columbia.

Methane Flux in Barkley Canyon

Aug 27, 2012

It’s hardly been a case of “all play and no work” for Wally the Crawler. Researchers in Germany and Canada have been making heavy use of Wally and the unique data this deep-sea crawler gathers among the gas hydrates outcrops of Barkley Canyon. A recent paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters details their recent findings, which have implications for changes we may expect as Earth’s climate warms.

Community Observatory Keeps Eye on Arctic Sea Ice

Aug 27, 2012

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 Institute for a cabled seafloor observatory system and surface weather station in the coastal hamlet of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. The community observatory, using technologies developed by UVic’s VENUS and NEPTUNE Observatories, intends to provide year-round, near real-time undersea monitoring of the northern environment, and to make research data available to the community for educational and other purposes.

Sediment Mix-Masters

May 23, 2012

An example of a perspective grid overlaid on a video frame used in this study (from Robert & Juniper, 2012).

The seafloor is, arguably, one of the most extensive habitats on the planet and it is significantly understudied. It is home to a variety of benthic organisms that spend much, if not all, of their time on the bottom sliding along or ploughing through sediment. Some organisms are deposit-feeders that ingest sediments, absorb their organic content, and excrete faecal strings or pellets; other organisms are burrowers that actively mix sediments vertically. This process by which organisms mix up sediment, is known as bioturbation
