加拿大海王星是世界最大的海底缆接科学观测网，于2009年开始运行。它连接了位于不同水深和不同海洋地质环境的大批观测仪器，把数据连续不断地通过互联网传给科学家和大众。海王星的建立是为了推动地震过程和大地构造、海底地下流体、海洋生物与气候变化、深海生态系统、工程和信息科学等五大科学命题的研究。为最大程度地推动国际合作，加速科学发展步伐，它的系统使用完全开放，数据全部免费公开，这在科学史上前所未见。这种全方位、全开放的复杂庞大的科研系统需要高超的管理方法和优良的学术环境。

NEPTUNE Canada is the world’s largest cabled seafloor scientific observatory and has been in operation since 2009. The system consists of a large network of instruments that are located at variable water depths and different oceanic and tectonic environments and continuously delivers data to researchers and the public via the internet. The establishment of NEPTUNE Canada is for the purpose of addressing scientific questions that are categorized into five themes: earthquake processes and plate tectonics, subsea geofluids, marine life and climate change, deep sea ecosystems, and engineering and information sciences. In order to promote international collaboration and accelerate scientific research to the maximum extent possible, the system makes its usage open to all researchers in the world and all its data freely accessible, in a fashion unprecedented in scientific history. Such a multidisciplinary and fully open large system of complexity demands advanced governance and management as well as an excellent culture of scientific research.

Key words: NEPTUNE Canada, Seafloor observatory network, Fibreoptic cable, Alldisciplinary observations, Open access to data
