Monitoring and Geohazards

Key Researcher(s): M. J. Whiticar, TBD

Project ID(s): 2016-065, 2022-007

Key Research Organization(s): Geoscience BC, Geochemical Analytic Services (GASCO), NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), OptoKnowledge Systems Inc. (OKSI), InDro Robotics, TBD

Project Location: Northeast BC, Southwest BC

Strategic Focus Area: Energy-Resources

Summary

Accurate monitoring and measurement of the atmosphere, hydrogeological conditions and geohazards increases our technical knowledge that leads to more effective planning and mitigation and improves best practices and regulation. For example, Geoscience BC’s GHGMap project has developed a tool to measure greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions quickly and effectively. The project has seen significant interest from BC’s natural gas sector as it seeks to minimize GHG emissions. In another example, Geoscience BC has an agreement in place with Fort Nelson First Nation, which manages a network of hydrometric monitoring stations in its territory.
