SUMMARY:Ocean Connector: Advancing carbon dioxide removal technologies
DESCRIPTION:Ocean carbon removal approaches aim to enhance or accelerate natural biological or chemical processes that sequester carbon in the ocean. Improving our understanding and facilitating the development of oceans’ carbon removal mechanisms are essential to addressing climate action. Of the various marine CDR technologies proposed to date\, ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) has the largest potential and boasts many advantages\, such as mitigating ocean acidification and having a high degree of permanence. \n\n\nGiven the rapidly growing interest in this area\, a science-based\, research-led\, iterative and adaptive approach in collaboration with innovative technology from industry will provide a better understanding of the potential of OAEs and strike an optimal balance between the urgency of combating climate change\, the importance of protecting our natural resources\, and realizing on this economic opportunity. \nLearn more about OAE and the OCEAN ALK-ALIGN project which involves an international consortium of researchers from Canada\, Germany and Australia to advance knowledge essential for OAE implementation. \n\n\n\n\nMeet the speaker: \nDr. Dariia Atamanchuk is a Research Associate at the Ocean Science and Technology group at Dalhousie University\, Halifax\, Canada. Dariia’s research activities focus on studying ocean biogeochemical cycling of EOVs (and beyond) using observations from autonomous platforms and sensors as primary tools. These include in situ and ship-borne observations of coastal environments (Scotian Shelf\, KoljoFjord\, Bedford Basin Time-Series) and the open ocean (Labrador Sea\, North Atlantic) concerning the carbon cycle (pCO2\, pH\, TA)\, oxygen\, nutrients (nitrate and phosphate)\, chlorophyll\, bio-optical properties of seawater\, velocity and more.

SUMMARY:Ocean Connector: Environmental genomics applications in the marine sector
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first Ocean Connector of 2023 with Dr. Marc Skinner and Dr. Robert Beiko for a discussion on environmental genomics\, advanced sensor technology\, and industrial and regulatory uptake opportunities.\nEnvironmental genomics is a rapidly advancing field that promises to revolutionize the way industry conducts biodiversity monitoring. \nSuch technology provides non-invasive means of collecting biodiversity surveys without physically harming organisms\, particularly species-at-risk\, at a considerably lower sampling effort and cost. Across marine sectors\, consensus exists that the application of environmental genomics has advanced dramatically in a short amount of time\, with demonstrable benefits. \nThat said\, there is an acknowledgement that further development is needed to increase regulatory confidence in applying genomics approaches within the industry. The result of advanced sensor technology for reliable in-situ sampling and analyses is a critical aspect that will further ease the broader application of environmental genomics. \nOn February 2nd\, Dr. Marc Skinner\, senior marine scientist and biostatistician at Stantec\, and Dr. Robert Beiko\, co-founder and Director of Data with Dartmouth Ocean Technologies\, Inc\, discuss the current regulatory landscape\, case studies for advanced genomics sensors\, and industrial and regulatory uptake opportunities.

SUMMARY:Ocean Connector: Talk and Tour at JASCO Applied Sciences
DESCRIPTION:We are taking our Ocean Connector on the road! Join us at JASCO Applied Sciences’ for a talk\, tour and network with the ocean community. \nJASCO Applied Sciences are our hosts for this month’s Ocean Connector! Join us at their 20 Mount Hope Ave. facility for a tour and talk with JASCO’s Project Scientist\, Dr. Katie Kowarski and Engineering and Business Development Manager\, John Moloney. \nJoin in the discussion with Dr. Kowarksi as she shares information on JASCO’s Observer on Oceanic Gliders. JASCO has been incorporating its OceanObserver technology into autonomous mobile platforms\, including ocean gliders\, for the last five years. One recent collaboration with the Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria resulted in collecting five days of data from a glider deployed off the Canary Islands. Post-retrieval data analysis revealed that seven cetacean species’ vocalizations were recorded. Three beaked whale clicks were identified – one from Cuvier’s beaked whales\, one from Blainville’s beaked whales\, and one from an unknown species\, which may represent the identification of an undescribed species in these waters. \nLearn about the SMELTS-JASCO Whale-Raft project\, which combines ropeless fishing with passive acoustic monitoring. JASCO Applied Sciences is a partner with the Sea Mammal Education Learning Technology Society (SMELTS) to demonstrate\, train\, and enable indigenous fishers from Miawpukek First Nation (MFN)/ Netukulimk Fisheries Limited (NFL) in whale-safe (ropeless) fishing and acoustic data collection.
