LOOKNorth will identify the knowledge gaps facing natural resource developers in Canada’s North, and validate Earth observation technologies and other technical solutions that can fill those gaps, to support oil and gas, hydro, and mining in the sub-Arctic and Arctic. LOOKNorth will involve Canadian technology companies with relevant expertise. This $15 million project over five years is led by C-CORE of St. John’s, and is funded by the Government of Canada (through the 2010 Centers of Excellence for Commercialization and Research program), the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador through the Department of Innovation, Trade and Rural Development and the Research and Development Corporation, C-CORE, and industry funding partners.
