Canadian Music Studies and/under the Second Trump Presidency*
No full textThis talk explores the evolving landscape of Canadian music studies in the context of intensifying cross-border cultural and political pressures. Drawing upon historical reflections and contemporary developments, the presentation examines how Canadian music scholarship navigates questions of national identity, academic autonomy, and cultural preservation. It considers the influence of dominant U.S.-based institutions and academic societies on Canadian music studies and reflects on the challenges posed by shifting geopolitical dynamics, including threats to Canadian sovereignty and academic freedom. The talk highlights the resilience and diversity of Canadian musical traditions and underscores the importance of sustaining a distinct Canadian musical identity. Through case studies, historical parallels, and current responses from artists and scholars, the talk invites a broader conversation about the role music studies might play in affirming cultural sovereignty and fostering inclusive, forward-looking scholarship.Cette présentation explore l’évolution du paysage des études musicales canadiennes dans un contexte de pressions culturelles et politiques transfrontalières de plus en plus intenses. S’appuyant sur des réflexions historiques et des développements contemporains, elle examine comment la recherche musicale canadienne aborde les questions d’identité nationale, d’autonomie académique et de préservation culturelle. Elle considère l’influence des institutions et sociétés savantes dominantes basées aux États-Unis sur les études musicales canadiennes, tout en réfléchissant aux défis posés par les dynamiques géopolitiques changeantes, notamment les menaces à la souveraineté canadienne et à la liberté académique. La présentation met en lumière la résilience et la diversité des traditions musicales canadiennes, et souligne l’importance de maintenir une identité musicale canadienne distincte. À travers des études de cas, des parallèles historiques et les réponses actuelles d’artistes et de chercheurs, elle invite à une réflexion plus large sur le rôle que peuvent jouer les études musicales dans l’affirmation de la souveraineté culturelle et la promotion d’une recherche inclusive et tournée vers l’avenir

Closing the data gap – Automated seafloor health maps to accelerate nature-based solutions
Full text linkThe following work was presented at the Hydrographic Conference HYDRO 2023, 7–9 November 2023, Genoa, Italy in the oral session Blue Transition.
This article delves into the pivotal role of the oceans, specifically the seafloor, in addressing climate change and food security. Despite its significance, a lack of detailed data on the seafloor hampers informed decision-making by policymakers, impedes sustainable blue economy investments, and hinders the development of blue carbon and biodiversity credit markets. PlanBlue, an innovative technology company, has devised a groundbreaking solution using advanced imaging, underwater navigation, and machine learning to automate seafloor mapping. This article explores the importance of seafloor data, the barriers to access data, and how PlanBlue's technology can improve our understanding of the ocean's potential. The discussion encompasses the significant role of the seafloor as a carbon sink, the necessity for credible data in ocean conservation, and the crucial link between seafloor mapping and effective marine spatial planning. PlanBlue's innovative approach not only adds speed and scale to data collection but also provides multi-layered insights into species health, biomass, and more, contributing to the credibility of marine conservation efforts. The article concludes with a scientific review highlighting the accuracy and meaningfulness of PlanBlue's methodology, validating its transformative impact on the blue carbon industry and seafloor habitat monitoring
