Cedar Hill Golf Course Clubhouse,

2nd floor, 1400 Derby Road, Victoria

Doors open at 11.30

______________________________________________________________________________
Dr. Maia Hoeberechts' talk about marine research will follow on from Dave Riddell’s well-received May talk about plastics in the oceans. Her talk will cover the NEPTUNE and VENUS seabed research projects, managed by Ocean Networks Canada and based at UVic, which are providing a vast amount of real-time data about marine life in the waters off the West coast of Vancouver Island and in the Saanich Inlet and Fraser River delta, as well as new projects in the Arctic Ocean.

Dr. Hoeberechts joined Ocean Networks Canada in 2010 and is now Associate Director, User Services of Ocean Networks Canada User Engagement Division, based at UVic. She manages the Data and Learning & Engagement teams, which are together responsible for creating products and services which meet the needs of the scientific, educational, and broader user community.
She continues her research involvement as Adjunct Professor in the Department of Computer Science at UVic. Her focus is on interdisciplinary connections between ocean science and computer science, principally in the areas of computer vision, data analytics and scientific visualization, and is also active in building Ocean Networks Canada's involvement in community-based research, citizen science and community-university engagement.
