Events
| There are many different types of events,
or incidents, that occur in the maritime environment. Typically,
these have a negative impact on people (injuries or death),
property (to the vessel or other objects), and/or the environment
(spills, sinking). Of particular concern to the Canadian
Coast Guard’s
SAR
branch are the incidents that involve
the endangerment of life at sea. Weather is a major contributor
to incidents in a maritime environment and is therefore
one key component to MARIN’s research. Research
of these events is conducted so that we can better understand
the causes and consequences of such events, and develop
better approaches for prevention or response of maritime
incidents. The two major areas we study are Incidents
and Weather Events.
