Welcome to the BioChem website
General Information
Never heard of BioChem? Come and find out why this huge biological and chemical
initiative is so important and how it can help the scientific community in monitoring
the global warming. Thousands of water samples are taken monthly and then put at
the disposal of canadian scientists to improve the accuracy of the weather forecast
and to broaden our knowledge of the oceans. As we speak, discrete and plankton data
are the major sources of information gathered but this is likely to change in a near
future for BioChem because the scientists want to take advantage of every drop of
water they get out of the oceans to build the largest scientific data source ever.
