CORIE

Columbia River Environment

CORIE is a pilot environmental observation and forecasting system (EOFS) for the Columbia River. It integrates a real-time sensor network, a data management system and advanced numerical models.

Oregon Coastal Ocean Observing System (OrCOOS)

OrCOOS brings together observations along the Oregon Coast to help address issues related to climate change, ecosystem preservation and management, coastal water quality, maritime operations, coastal hazards and national security.

VENUS

Victoria Experimental Network Under the Sea

The Victoria Experimental Network Under the Sea is an ambitious project to conduct coastal oceanography in an innovative and informative way. VENUS is a proposed network of instruments in the ocean to observe the seafloor waters off our coast. Measurements, images and sound will be delivered to scientists, managers, the public and an archive via fibre-optic cables laid from three landfall sites. That cable will also deliver power for instruments, lights and robots. For the first time, we will not have to wait for data from recovered instruments - it will be delivered immediately as events in the ocean unfold.

PRISM

Puget Sound
Regional
Synthesis
Model

An innovative approach to greater understanding of the Puget Sound environment through research, education, outreach and technology transfer.

The Boater Information System

The Puget Sound Boater Information System (BIS) is an experimental mariner's resource for the Puget Sound region.

Neptune, USA

The goal of the NEPTUNE project is to establish a regional-scale ocean observatory in the northeast Pacific Ocean. The Project's 3,000-km network of fiber-optic/power cables will encircle and cross the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate in the northeast Pacific Ocean, an area roughly 500 km by 1,000 km in size.

Neptune, Canada

NEPTUNE will be the world's largest cable-linked seafloor observatory. It will expand the boundaries of ocean exploration and give us a new way of studying and understanding our planet. NEPTUNE is a joint U.S.-Canada venture led by the University of Washington and, in Canada, by the University of Victoria.
