Bluewater Cruising Presents Canada Neptune and Venus Projects
March 18 2014, Dr. Kim Juniper, Associate Director for ONC Observatory Neptune Canada Project presents the Canada Neptune and Venus Projects.
Find out what the Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) observatories (including NEPTUNE and VENUS) consist of. Learn what geographical areas are being studied, and what kinds of sensors are located on the sea floor.
See examples of how we study tsunamis, listen for whales, and track changes in the ocean chemistry.
You will also see the impacts of deep-sea mining Dr Juniper will also present interesting videos of octopus,
squid, brittle stars, spider crabs, and hot vents releasing 300 degree water from below the sea
floor into the ocean above.
