14 Canadian Consortium of Ocean Research Universities Canada s principal ocean universities Memorial University (Newfoundland And Labrador) Dalhousie University (Nova Scotia) University Of New Brunswick University Of Prince Edward Island Laval University (Quebec) University Of Quebec-Rimouski University Of Manitoba University Of British Columbia University Of Victoria (British Columbia) Have jointly subsidized an Expert Panel Report from the Council of Canadian Academies on the future of ocean science in Canada

15 40 Priority Research Questions for Ocean Science in Canada 4 research themes: Scientific understanding Monitoring, data & info management Understanding impacts of human activities Informing management and governance Knowledge gaps relating to: Arctic Deep water Marine biodiversity Currently, a second phase to look at: Canada s needs & capacities vis-à-vis major ocean science research questions Council of Canadian Academies

16 Oceans Research Chairs Canada Excellence Research Chairs: Highest level each at $10M + Leveraged funds Three out of a total of 18 across the country in Oceanography Professor Marcel Babin (Laval): Remote Sensing of Arctic Professor Søren Rysgaard (Manitoba): Arctic Geomicrobiology Professor Doug Wallace (Dalhousie): Ocean Science and Technology - Approximately 50+ government or industry-funded other oceansrelated research chairs

17 University Research Infrastructure Ocean Networks Canada - NEPTUNE Canada and VENUS (University of Victoria), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) International Arctic Research Ship CCGS Amundsen (Laval University) CFI International Ocean Tracking Network (Dalhousie University) CFI International

18 Ocean Networks Canada NEPTUNE and VENUS are the world s first regional scale underwater ocean observatories that plug directly into the Internet. University of Victoria

19 CCGS Amundsen CCGS Amundsen is a T1200 Class Medium Arctic Icebreaker and Arctic research ship operated by the Canadian Coast Guard and managed by a Science Consortium composed of Canadian universities and federal agencies, led by Université Laval

20 Ocean Tracking Network The Ocean Tracking Network (OTN)is a $168-million conservation project, which will tag individual marine species - from fish to birds to polar bears using acoustic telemetry technology. Animal migrations are correlated to the ocean physical and biogeochemical environment. The project is led by Dalhousie.

21 National University Research Programs Networks of Centres of Excellence: ArcticNet (Laval) MEOPAR (Dalhousie) Strategic Network: Canadian Healthy Oceans Network (Memorial)

22 Canada s Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE) to study the changing Arctic NCEs are unique partnerships among universities, industry, and governments, that connect research excellence with industrial know-how and strategic investments.

23 Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response (MEOPAR) Overall vision of MEOPAR: To evaluate, predict and respond to marine environmental risks and thereby reduce economic losses, societal hardships and environmental degradation while optimising economic opportunity. MEOPAR tightly couples ocean and satellite observations with advanced ocean-atmosphere numerical models in order to predict the future state of the ocean on both short (days-weeks) and long (seasons to decades) time scales.

24 Canadian Healthy Oceans Network The Canadian Healthy Oceans Network, or CHONe (pronounced Ko-nee), is a strategic network focused on biodiversity science for the sustainability of Canada's three oceans.

25 Transition to Industry Centres of Excellence for Commercialization and Research (CECR) Ocean Networks Canada Centre for Enterprise and Engagement (ONCCEE; Univ. Victoria) Builds on technology development opportunities from cabled ocean observatory networks (NEPTUNE Canada and VENUS) Leading Operational Observations and Knowledge for the North (LookNorth; Memorial) Satellite monitoring opportunities and solutions for Northern resource development

26 Canadian High Arctic Research Station - CHARS Mission To increase and apply Canada s knowledge of the Arctic in order to improve the lives of Northerners, all Canadians, and the world. Open 2017 In-house technology development program Collaborative environmental monitoring program Platform for world class Arctic science Host Canadian & international researchers Develop S&T capacity in the North

27 Incentive for innovation Canadian ocean tech companies Ocean tech sector in Canada dominated by SMEs Niche markets, compete globally Need to continuously innovate to maintain market position Often started from spin-off from academia or government research lab Innovation strategy often involves collaboration internationally Slide 1-1

28 Incentive for innovation Canadian ocean tech companies Ocean technology companies derive wealth from the commercialization of intellectual property and tend to be very active in research Return on Investment SMEs expect to get a return on their research investment in a relatively short period of time (1-3 years) Both levels of government assist in the innovation and entrepreneurship process through a variety of tax, grant, debt, and market access vehicles Slide 1-1

29 R&D collaboration interests Canadian ocean tech companies a sampling provided by the Ocean Tech Alliance Canada Arctic & Harsh Operations Multi-year on-board data storage (observing systems) Robust robotics, automation & autonomous systems Offshore Energy Hazard monitoring and risk mitigation systems Sub-sea systems Marine Transportation and Defence Next generation intelligent ships Coastal & port security; monitoring Ocean Observing, Monitoring & Modelling Remote sensing Autonomous measurement platforms 29

30 Marine R&D in Canada In summary Interdisciplinary approach, and strong links between Oceanography, Engineering, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Math/Stats, Law, Marine Affairs, Environment &Sustainability Academia, government and industry cooperation World class research facilities at government and academic laboratories Integrated within the global ocean s&t community, and actively seeking further collaboration.
