SUMMARY:MRC Webinar: Offshore Wind Energy in Atlantic Canada - Geological Constraints and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The potential for offshore wind development in Atlantic Canada is quickly becoming a hot topic and with good reason – the region has some of the best sites in the world for both fixed and floating offshore wind development from both a wind resource and geophysical perspective. \nThis webinar will feature an overview of preliminary work led by the Geological Survey of Canada to assess geological constraints and opportunities. Several Atlantic Canadian sites with available high-resolution geophysical data will be reviewed for comparison with production and planned offshore wind farm sites found elsewhere. \nDate/Time: Wednesday\, May 25th @ 1pm ADT \nFormat:  \n\nIntroduction (5 min)\nPresentation (30 min)\nQ&A (15 min)\n\nSpeaker: Jordan Eamer\, Geological Survey of Canada \n \nJordan was born and raised on Vancouver Island in British Columbia\, where his research interests in coastal geomorphology and Quaternary geology developed. Jordan’s research has until recently been focussed on the coastal areas of BC\, where he worked up and down the coast in areas such as Haida Gwaii\, the Hakai Protected Area\, and western Vancouver Island. His focus was sediment budgets for coastal restoration projects\, climate change adaptation\, coastal erosion\, and late Quaternary reconstruction and paleogeography. He did a postdoc at the University of Calgary where he was a project manager/science advisor for UAV application development. \nFrom there\, Jordan took a bit of a turn (east\, to be precise) and joined the federal Public Service with Parks Canada Agency in 2017\, working for the Sable Island National Park Reserve. While there\, he worked in operations: landing planes\, forecasting storms\, and fixing buildings. He always kept his eye on the science and in 2019 Jordan joined the Geological Survey of Canada at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth as a Marine Geoscientist. \nCurrently\, Jordan works on issues from the coast to the edge of the continental shelf\, including coastal erosion and evolution\, Late Quaternary reconstruction of land- and seascapes and what processes led to the landform assemblages we find today\, and continental shelf seabed conditions\, infrastructure\, and marine renewables.

SUMMARY:MRC Mission to the 2022 International Partnering Forum (IPF) on Offshore Wind - April 26-28 in Atlantic City\, NJ
DESCRIPTION:NOTE – This mission is now SOLD OUT \nMarine Renewables Canada (MRC) is leading a mission to the International Offshore Wind Partnering Forum (IPF)\, taking place this April 26-28\, 2022 in Atlantic City\, New Jersey. \nIPF is the premiere offshore wind energy conference in North America\, hosted by the Business Network for Offshore Wind. The US offshore wind industry is growing and so are the opportunities to get involved. IPF is an excellent opportunity for Canadian businesses and organizations to connect with global leaders and businesses in the supply chain\, participate in multiple networking opportunities\, and get timely and relevant updates on the industry\, from technology and policy\, to safety and siting. \nMRC is leading this mission to help its members and Canadian companies pursue opportunities in the US offshore wind supply chain\, profile capabilities and strengths\, and build relationships that assist with international business development efforts. \nRegistration to participate in this mission is now open – scroll down for the outline of mission benefits/activities and the registration link. \nBEFORE YOU REGISTER – A few important pieces of information are below for your review:  \nFunding & Travel Restrictions/Advisories\nMRC has secured funding for this mission’s activities (booth\, delegate passes for mission participants\, briefing session etc.) but this funding does not cover travel costs (see below for more on that).  Because this funding is for an activity that requires travel outside of Canada and because the government of Canada’s international travel restrictions are still set at level 2\, please be advised that: \n\nYou should check the Government of Canada’s Travel Advice and Advisories before travelling and fully understand the risks and requirements involved with respect to Canada and the destination country requirements. MRC recommends that you research COVID-19 testing requirements for the United States and Canada in the lead up to this mission. It is your responsibility to arrange and cover the costs of any testing that may be required.\nThe decision to participate in the noted mission and any related travel is your choice and everyone is responsible for their own personal safety abroad. The Government of Canada takes the safety and security of Canadians abroad very seriously and provides credible and timely information to enable everyone to make well-informed decisions regarding travel abroad.\nTravelers should know that restrictions can change quickly and may be imposed by countries with little warning. Should you choose to travel outside Canada\, travel plans may be severely disrupted. For example\, travelers may be forced to remain outside of Canada longer than expected and should not depend on the Government of Canada or MRC for assistance related to changes to travel plans. MRC is not responsible for any additional costs you may incur as a result of participating in this mission.\nBefore making travel plans\, you may want to research and obtain travel insurance that is available specifically to address travel interruptions due to COVID-19.\n\n\nTravel funding for companies – MRC has also applied for partial travel funding through Global Affairs Canada for any MRC member companies (must be a Canadian company – one per company) who participates in this mission. This funding application is just now being reviewed and Global Affairs Canada has indicated they would have confirmation to us by end of March (if approved).\n** because of this unknown\, you must assume you will be responsible for your own travel costs and factor that into your decision to participate in this mission.

All 3 options will take approx. 1 – 2 hours with car being fastest and the train being the slowest (bus is the cheapest). CLICK HERE for details on all 3 options.\nNOTE – You can also fly into Newark and travel to Atlantic City from there (flight options/times seem much better than into Philadelphia)\, but it’s a bit longer travel (about a 2 hour drive).  You can also take a bus or the train – CLICK HERE for details\n\nThe fee to participate in this mission is $750 + tx (this includes your IPF conference full delegate pass – $2500US value)
