Bedford Institute of Oceanography
Located on the shores of the Bedford Basin in Dartmouth Nova Scotia, the Bedford Institute of Oceanography – also known as BIO - is Canada’s largest centre for multi-disciplinary ocean research. This video showcases some of the work that is being done by Fisheries and Oceans Canada science teams at BIO, as they work collaboratively with partners to monitor and research changes and important issues facing our oceans.
The Glider Program at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography
The Coastal Glider Program at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth Nova Scotia, is a multi-regional program to study water chemistry, biology, and physics in Canadian waters. Fisheries and Oceans Canada is using cutting edge technology, like autonomous gliders, to monitor changes in our oceans.

Part 7/7 Arriving in Vancouver, Hudson 70 Expedition (oceanography) , 1969-70, by Iver W Duedall
This video is part 7 of 7 parts (in the Valparaiso to Vancouver leg) of unedited film footage taken by Iver W. Duedall during the Hudson 70 expedition; the CSS Hudson left the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dartmouth Nova Scotia, on November 19, 1969, returning to Dartmouth approximately 11 months later after the CSS Hudson sailed through the Northwest Passage.

The three other legs of the expedition with DVD were:
Halifax to Rio
Rio to Punta Arenas, Chile,
Punta Arenas to Chilean Fjords to Valparaiso, Chile

History and mechanisms of the Fram Slide, Fram Strait

Title: History and mechanisms of the Fram Slide, Fram Strait

Abstract:
Submarine slope failures are a widespread phenomenon on continental margins and a potential geo-hazard. Numerous large submarine landslides shaped the northeast Atlantic glaciated margins during the Holocene and Pleistocene. The prevailing understanding is that submarine slides on the glaciated European continental margins are closely related to the extent of ice sheets and the resulting variation in sedimentation rate and type in front of cross shelf troughs during glacial-interglacial climate cycles. Here we report on a newly discovered large landslide complex off northwest Svalbard in the Fram Strait which we have named Fram Slide. There is evidence that this failure is not related to rapid glacigenic debris flow deposition, which is significantly different from many other large Holocene and Pleistocene submarine landslides on the glaciated margins off NW Europe. Our data suggest that it is more likely that a combination of unstable sediments due to contour currents, tectonic movement and/or fluid migration has played a major role in causing the landslide. High-resolution two-dimensional seismic data, multibeam, Parasound and sediment core data constrain the history of the different parts of the slide complex. The Fram Slide complex has been repeatedly active for several 100k years. Together with the observation that it was not directly related to glacial debris flow deposition, this means that the eastern continental margin of the Fram Strait may fail and cause tsunamis without the necessity of a new glaciation.

Neftegaz-29 / НЕФТЕГАЗ-29, Bedford Basin, Halifax 2008 (rare closeup view).
Steel ghost on the cold Bedford Basin awaits it's uncertain fate.
This ship is owned by secunda marine of dartmouth nova scotia, they bought 4 neftagaz hulls, 3 of which have been overhauled, they are now the Burin Sea, Trinity Sea, and the Panuke Sea. N29 will become the Intrepid Sea in the near future. the Burin is a DP class 1 AHTS working on the grand banks of Newfoundland. These overhauled ships are amazing sea boats and handle20+ meter seas of the grand banks easily.
Now it sits like a ghost on the water in the cold Bedford Basin on Dartmouth side.
I managed to get some quite rare closeup photos and vids of this. It is
Private Property, but my curiousity got the best of me. I hope you enjoy my little movie on this ship that used to be.
I come from Halifax, side.. I seen this ship for many years off the left side of MacKay Bridge (near Dartmouth gypsum plant).
So I happen to have my camera with me that day and was really close by. Plz at least rate my video if you read this.. dont worry about commenting tho.. u can if u want. Take care.

Purchased from Russian Federation by Secunda Marine Services with several sister vessels for up-grading and use offshore Canadian Eastcoast. Sister vessels Neftegaz-1,2 and 14 became Burin Sea, Trinity Sea and Panuke Sea respectively.
