Cutting-edge satellite technologies paired with Indigenous knowledge and historical data will support science and management of marine ecosystems, thanks to a new investment in the work of 番茄社区 geography researcher Maycira Costa.
The 番茄社区 (UVic) has launched an innovative pilot project that could help redefine how the campus community consumes beverages on the go. The collaborative project, led by the Surfrider UVic student club and supported by University Food Services and the Office of Campus Planning and Sustainability, introduces reusable beverage cups from Reusables.com at two cafes on campus.
Northern elephant seals were repeatedly captured on camera in the deep Pacific Ocean using sonar from an Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) observatory as a dinner bell to forage for their next fish feast, according to a new study led by 番茄社区 researchers.
Massive volcanic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions contributing to an extreme global ocean deoxygenation event over 120 million years ago has modern day implications for understanding a climate warming 鈥渢ipping point,鈥� according to new research published in Nature this week, led by a scientist at Ocean Networks Canada, a UVic initiative.
A new study analyzing over 230 fisheries has found that their sustainability is likely overstated world-wide. Previous estimates of the number of fish in the ocean globally may have been too optimistic; two-thirds of fisheries in the study had over-estimated the number of fish available when making earlier management decisions.
Ocean Networks Canada, a 番茄社区 initiative, welcomes today鈥檚 announcement of the new marine protected area (MPA) Tang.散wan 鈥� 岣膷x史iqak 鈥� Tsig瘫is (ThT) by the Haida Nation, Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council, Pacheedaht First Nation, Quatsino First Nation, and the Government of Canada.
The 番茄社区 is a leader among Canadian universities when it comes to climate impact research and programs, according to new international rankings released on Wednesday.
From helping to convert seaweed overgrowth into benefits for the blue economy, to improving travel across sea ice, two 番茄社区 projects on Monday [eds note: June 3] received nearly $4 million in federal support to advance climate solutions.
The powerful solar storm driving the aurora borealis over global skies last weekend was also triggering the movement of compasses deep in the ocean, as revealed in new scientific findings shared today by Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), a 番茄社区 initiative.
As ocean temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, marine plankton may be the newest candidate to act as an oceanic early alert system. According to a new Nature paper from UVic micropaleontologist Andy Fraass, and a team of international collaborators at the University of Bristol and Harvard University, an analysis of the fossil record shows that changes to community structure take place long before mass extinction occurs.
UVic biology professor Amanda Bates has been awarded the 2023 Arthur B. McDonald Fellowship by NSERC in recognition of her scholarship and research related to ocean conservation.
For 60 years, multiple experiences of UVic students and researchers across disciplines have been shaped by the ocean. From a campus that鈥檚 a few short steps from coastline, our engagement with the global ocean has defined UVic research and its breakthroughs.
UVic is 1st in Canada for climate action and in the global top 10 for impact, according to the 2023 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. THE scores universities and colleges for how they are responding to UN goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity.
Marine heatwaves triggered by climate change pose an imminent threat to the world鈥檚 coral reefs. But most reefs are also exposed to local stressors, ranging from coastal development, pollution and overfishing. Few studies take into account how stressed-out reefs respond to heatwaves until now.
Take a deep dive into six student stories for UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science, inspiring others to make a difference in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
New research has uncovered a change in behaviour of deep-sea fragile pink sea urchins off the south coast of Vancouver Island that is linked to climate change impacts.
