Title:
Exploring the use of modular ocean research infrastructure (MORI) to support phytoplankton research
Agreement Number:
991562
Agreement Value:
$260,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 1, 2022 - Mar 31, 2024
Description:
MEOPAR will demonstrate and test the potential of Modular Ocean Research Infrastructure (MORI) for the support of multidisciplinary ocean science. The project Tracer Release Experiment (TReX) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, jointly supported by the Réseau Québec Maritime and the MEOPAR network will be used as a demonstration cruise to explore the potential of MORI for multidisciplinary ocean research. For the upcoming 2022 seasons, two separate cruises in the Gulf of St. Lawrence are being planned as part of TReX to search for and measure the distribution of a tracer that was deliberately introduced into the Gulf of St. Lawrence to study dissolved oxygen supply to subsurface waters in October 2021. Among the expected outcomes are to evaluate MORI as a future model for collaboration across federal departments, academics, and industry, and extend NRC’s interactions with key researchers and organizations who share common interests.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
