The last decade can be considered an embryonic period for seafloor networks with the introduction of sizeable networks off the West Coast of Canada, off the West Coast of the United States and in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as smaller networks spread throughout the world's oceans. The amount of data currently available is expected to pale in comparison to future prospects as the infrastructure...
As increasing numbers of systems are deployed to support power and information transfer between surface monitoring installations and subsea instrumentation, the need to support interoperability between devices becomes a major concern. This article aims to provide an overview of the challenges associated with subsea electromagnetic interference mitigation and introduce strategies that can be used to...
In Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells encapsulated with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or glass top sheets, the effects of damp heat (D-H) accelerated lifetime testing (ALT) depend on water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of both transparent conducting oxide (TCO) and the intrinsic zinc oxide (i-ZnO) buffer, as well as device geometry. PET top sheets have a WVTR of ∼10 g/m2·day, and glass has a WVTR of 0....
Using experience and technologies developed for Ocean Networks Canada's (ONC) seafloor cabled networks we have developed a small scale observing station that can be easily deployed in remote locations such as Canada's high Arctic. These areas provide challenges in a number of areas; environmental, logistic and social. In this paper we will discuss how these challenges are met and some strategies that...
Recent tsunami events in Indonesia, Chile and Japan highlight the importance of understanding the near-source impacts of devastating tsunamis. These events have also raised awareness of the need for risk assessment for local (e.g. submarine and subaerial landslide-generated) and near-field tsunamis (those that can impact a coastal community less than an hour after generation). Although existing tsunami...
Our understanding of physical and biogeochemical processes in the Arctic, especially related to marine ecosystems, is rudimentary yet it is precisely here where we are witnessing the most rapid and profound impacts of global environmental change. Many national and international organizations have stressed the need for long term monitoring of Arctic ecosystems to understand better how they function...
