Submarine canyon special volume to be published in Progress in Oceanography
We are delighted to announce that Progress in Oceanography have accepted the proposal to publish the next INCISE special issue 'Bridging the gap between shallow and deep ocean: the key role of submarine canyons'. This special issue is an outcome of the 3rd INCISE symposium held in Victoria in 2016 and will be edited by Fabio de Leo and Pere Puig. With the submission process of manuscripts currently underway, it is anticipated that the issue will be published early 2018. We'll keep you posted of the progress of the issue |
New INCISE publication!
A new paper was published by Ulla Fernandez-Arcaya and a wide group of INCISE co-authors discussing the ecological role of submarine canyons and their need for conservation: This paper is an outcome from INCISE2014 in Edinburgh, and was driven by WG3. It's great to see INCISE outputs come through!http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmars.2017.00005/full |
INCISE2016 programme online
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 project won a major prize!
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 6. Distinguishing characteristics of the partnership that contributed to its success.http://www.nopp.org/2015/program-update-october-2015/ |
