Updated Press Release
Educator joins Ocean Networks Canada: Wiring the Abyss 2013 Expedition Discover the ocean. Understand the planet.
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada – May 26, 2013 – Martin Momsen, Educator for Houston High School in Houston, MN will be a Ship2Shore communicator aboard the Research Vessel Thomas G. Thompson from June 9-June 26, as part of the Ocean Networks Canada: Wiring the Abyss Expedition in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Mr. Momsen has taught Life Science, Biology, Anatomy, Genetics, and Environmental Science at Houston for the past year.
Ocean Networks Canada, led by the University of Victoria, operates the VENUS and NEPTUNE Canada ocean observatories for the advancement of science nationally and globally. Located off the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia these observatories enable researchers in Canada and world-wide to conduct ocean research using new innovative technologies. The network, which extends from the coastal waters across the North American and Juan de Fuca tectonic plates to the deep sea, gathers live data from a rich array of instruments deployed in a broad spectrum of undersea environments. Data are transmitted via high-speed fiber optic communication from the seafloor to an innovative data archival system at the University of Victoria. This system provides free Internet access to an immense wealth of data, both live and archived through the life of the planned 25-year project. The network allows people to "surf the seafloor", while ocean scientists run deep-water experiments from labs and universities anywhere around the world.
Mr. Momsen is on board to communicate Ship2Shore and enable live interactions with student groups and public audiences via the Live Wiring the Abyss 2013 website. He will be sharing the excitement of deep-sea exploration, expedition operations and daily life as it happens through live audio commentary, question-and-answer sessions, video highlights, stories, and social media. Ocean Networks Canada's field season is underway and can be followed at: http://www.oceannetworks.ca/cruise13/.
Mr. Momsen's participation is part of a developing collaboration between Ocean Networks Canada Expeditions and Ocean Exploration Trust a telepresence enabled exploration, research, and education program, founded by Dr. Robert Ballard. In addition to supporting scientific research it brings educators aboard to share the expedition with on shore explorers via live video, audio, and data feeds from the ship.
