Ocean Networks Canada President Martin Taylor will be speaking to ocean science researchers and students at UK’s leading oceanographic research centre—the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) at the University of Southampton, on April 4, 2012.

In 2011, ONC and NOC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote research cooperation in areas of shared focus including: technology and applications of underwater vehicles, deep sea benthic biology, ocean biogeochemistry, sensor development and deep sea ecology.

Dr. Taylor will be providing an update on ONC’s programs and future plans, as well as discussing opportunities for future collaboration.

Our thanks to deep sea ecologist, Dr. Henry Ruhl, a senior scientist at NOC and a member of ONC’s International Science Advisory Board, for facilitating this Canada-UK collaboration.
