Turbulence in Grand Passage Nova Scotia: Measures of Intermittency
April – December 2016
Turbulence research is very important to advancing the in-stream tidal energy sector, however turbulence in general is not well understood. Measurement at prospective turbine locations is essential prior to development, given the high degree of spatial variability between sites.
Funding and Financial Supports for Tidal Energy Development in Nova Scotia
June – September 2016
To help ensure Nova Scotia and Canada benefit from a sustainable marine renewable energy industry over the longer term, this study identifies the suite of applicable funding and financial support mechanisms used in different jurisdictions around the world, recommends a combination that may be sui
Use of Fish Tracking Data to Model Striped Bass Turbine Encounter Probability in Minas Passage
September 2016
This project used fish tracking datasets and VEMCO detection-range tests to calculate fish-turbine encounter probabilities for striped bass.

Central Scotian Slope Atlas (2016)
January – August 2016
The objective of this project was to identify and technically evaluate any significant exploration leads and prospects in the area of interest. The study used integrated 3D basin modelling analysis to assess the timing of maturation of source rocks, transformation ratios, hydrocarbon entrapment,
MRE Infrastructure Assessment Update
May – August 2016
This project reviewed the results of a 2011 study to identify where significant changes in infrastructure demands have occurred.

Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator (DHI) Mapping, Offshore Nova Scotia
January – May 2016
This project reviewed existing seismic data to identify and catalogue Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs) in offshore Nova Scotia, particularly in the Laurentian and Georges Bank Sub-basins.
Spectral and Structure Function Estimates of Turbulence Dissipation Rates in a High Flow Tidal Channel Using Broadband ADCPs
January 2016
Spectral and structure function methods are implemented to compute the dissipation rate, ε, from broadband, diverging-beam, acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data collected at four sites in a high-flow tidal channel.

Reservoir Distribution & Characterization: Shelf to Slope Linked Depositional Systems
August 2007 – August 2010
The objectives of this study are 1) to understand the complexities of shelf-to-slope and slope sedimentation patterns, and 2) to understand the controls inherent in mixed siliciclastic and carbonate shelf-edge depositional systems. New play concepts were developed that identified significant rew

Analysis of Petroleum Systems on the Scotia Shelf using Thermal & Seismic Techniques
August 2007 – July 2010
The objective of this project is to produce new petroleum systems and high resolution seismic velocity models along several transects across the central and NE sectors of the Scotian Slope. Ground-truth from existing wells on the upper slope will be used as benchmarks.
