Mid Cretaceous Sand Supply to Offshore SW Nova Scotia: Tectonic Diversion of Labrador Rivers during Naskapi Member Deposition
September 2015 – September 2017
This study tests the hypothesis that tectonic diversion of Labrador rivers during the Aptian resulted in sand supply through the Bay of Fundy to the Shelburne sub-basin, allowing shales to accumulate farther east in the Scotian Basin.
On-line Interactive GIS Map Platform: An Enabling Initiative for the Emerging Tidal Energy Industry
April 2015 – April 2016
A proof-of-concept Geographic Information System (GIS) platform was developed aiming at building a decision-making tool that integrates complex spatial information of importance to the tidal energy industry while also being scalable, flexible and accessible. The platform was built on open source

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

River Sources & Sand Transfer to the Deepwater Lower Cretaceous Scotian Basin
August 2007 – August 2010
This project aims to define the distribution systems for sand and help industry explorers refine their exploration targets and better understand the quality of underground petroleum reservoirs.

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.
