Research
The cycling of the three key chemical controls on life in the ocean (carbon, oxygen, & nitrogen) is undergoing unprecedented change as a result of human activities. We aim to observe, understand, and predict complex interactions within these biogeochemical cycles through a number of different ways.

- Seacycler
-
SeaCycler is a new oceanographic mooring system that profiles a large suite of sensors through the upper ocean to collect simultaneous, high vertical resolution measurements near the surface while avoiding dangerous storm waves.
- Ship Of Opportunity
-
Our group is working to equip commercial vessels with observation equipment and to leverage existing routes in order to gain additional data without the need for dedicated ocean science vessels. Learn more about the Dal-SOOP underway systems.
- Bedford Basin Time Series
-
Dalhousie's Bedford Basin Time Series provides long term time-series observations from weekly sampling in the Bedford Basin. Bedford Basin provides not only a convenient location for research, but also is a proxy for conditions on the Scotian Shelf.
