Part of a Dal-led research program, titled Transforming Climate Action: Addressing the Missing Ocean, is set to bring an ocean-first approach to climate science, innovation and solutions. It unites more than 170 researchers across Dalhousie and its partner institutions Universite du Quebec a Rimouski, Universite Laval and Memorial University of Newfoundland. And with additional investment activated by this CFREF grant bringing its total funding to nearly $400 million, it represents a monumental financial contribution to Canada-led climate science. Our interdisciplinary research program involves experts in education, ocean science, ocean literacy, information science, computer science, and public administration, bringing a rich suite of theories and methods to investigate this complex problem.
