File contains a spiral bound document submitted by Fisheries Resource Development with Hardy Associates 1978 Ltd., Seaconsult Limited, and Scotian Shelf Traders Ltd. to the Science Centre.
File contains a programme of a conference co-sponsored by the Public Services Committee of the Faculty of Law and the Centre for International Business Studies of the School of Business Administration, both at Dalhousie University.
File contains a Canadian special publication of fisheries and aquatic sciences, number 57, of the Canadian Committee on Oceanography. File also contains a membership application form for the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society.
Series contains research files, correspondence, conference meeting minutes and notes compiled by Ron O'Dor and other members of the Census of Marine Life steering committee and subcommittees.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Census of Marine Zooplankton (CMarZ). The Census of Marine Zooplankton project examined the diversity and distribution of ocean current-residing invertebrates. The project, led by American scientist Ann Bucklin, Japanese scientist Shuhei Nishida and German scientist Sigrid Schiels, collected more than 10,000 samples from locations around the world’s oceans, discovering nearly 100 new species.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystem of the Northern Mid-Atlantic (MAR-ECO). The Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystems of the Northern Mid-Atlantic project documented marine life along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project, led by Norwegian scientist Odd Aksel Bergstad, documented about a thousand species, from the smallest invertebrates to various species of whales, in deep basins and along the slopes of the underwater mountains.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life affiliate program, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). The Ocean Biogeographic Information System project, compiled alongside the Census of Marine Life, serves as the world's largest online repository of spatially referenced marine life data, containing millions of records created from hundreds of CoML datasets. The project, led by American scientists Edward Vanden Berghe and J. Frederick Grassle (previously by New Zealander Mark J. Costello), locates all oceanic species in a permanent, evolving repository, identifying oceanic points of high diversity, tracking species dispersion, and integrating species locales with variables such as temperature, salinity, and depth.
This workshop was sponsored by the New England Aquarium and the Sloan Foundation. This file consists of an agenda, papers presented at the workshop, correspondence and a report of the workshop.
