Data Access Opportunities

NEPTUNE Canada's 24/7/365/25 data collection and archival methods are producing a tremendously rich repository of multi-dimensional data. Data gathered from instruments on this publicly-funded network are available to the entire global research community, and to the general public, in real or near-real time via the Internet

We invite everyone to explore our growing data repository. Researchers, in particular, will benefit from access to both our live data and ever-expanding archive.

Opportunities are available for instruments to be connected to our seafloor observatory to support both not-for-profit research and for-profit R&D or commercialization work.

We welcome proposals by academic institutions, government research facilities, and not-for-profit organisations and industrial/commercial firms to participate.
