The 2016 INCISE Submarine Canyon Symposium preliminary program has now been posted on the conference website (http://incise2016.oceannetworks.ca/program). 

Note that there will be an informal workshop on sediment flow monitoring on canyons and other marine and coastal settings a day after the symposium, on July 28. Please contact the organizers to ensure your participation in case you may be interested.

Also, we encourage you to submit abstracts to the INCISE Symposium if you have not done so (deadline: 31 March!), and to book your trip and secure accommodations in Victoria as soon as possible, which is a very busy city during summer.  We have updated the list of hotels and other accommodation options for your convenience. While there are still a good number of rooms available, rates will rapidly increase as we approach the summer months.

The 2016 INCISE Symposium organizing committee is looking forward to see you in Victoria in July!

Atlantic Canyons: Pathways to the Abyss was voted to be the NOPP project that best exemplifies the program's partnership objectives by the Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology’s Interagency Working Group on Ocean Partnerships (IWG-OP).  

This award is meant to recognize the strong partnerships that have been built over time and their impact on the oceanographic community and was evaluated based on six characteristics:

 1)      1. Ocean sector diversity among partners;

2)      2. Level of effort/involvement by partners;

3)      3. Long-term commitment of partners beyond the NOPP-funding period;

4)      4. The success of the partnership in meeting its project objectives;

5)      5. Impact of the effort on ocean research and/or education; and
