Canarie - Research

The advanced networking capability provided by CANARIE, together with that of 12 provincial and territorial partner networks across Canada and 80 international peer networks around the world, enables:

• Infectious disease specialists to tap into the expertise of world-class medical laboratories and access real-time information that can enable faster, more efficient response to a new disease outbreak;
• Multidisciplinary teams to extract, visualize and manipulate information from scientific instruments on the ocean floor, and use this data in many ways... for example, to better understand marine ecosystems and ocean life, and predict and respond to storms, tsunamis and underwater volcanic eruptions more effectively;
• Scientists to access, source and map DNA sequences with more than 100 billion characters, to advance our understanding of the human genome;
• Doctors and clinicians to send detailed 3D CT images in seconds, driving faster diagnosis and treatments for patients;
• Innovators to share engineering know-how and specialized equipment to design bridges that can better withstand earthquakes and help save lives during these natural disasters;
• Researchers and artists in cinematography, production and post-production to transmit very high-quality images with minimal delays, helping to increase Canada's contribution to the film industry;
• Scientists to share and analyze live meteorological data, helping to advance weather forecasting and enabling early warning of severe weather events;
• Ecologists and other natural resource specialists to manage, catalogue and disseminate large volumes of satellite-based earth observation data, helping to support the sustainable development of Canadian forests; and
• Neurologists and their collaborators to gather, share and analyze information about the human brain, increasing our understanding of brain development and disease and helping scientists develop new prevention and treatment protocols.
