Data Analysis Component of Comparative Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) technology assessment
November 2019 – June 2020
The Pathway Program - Technology Validation: Passive Acoustic Monitoring Device
Advancements in technologies and techniques for tidal energy development
April 2017 – March 2020
This project was funded under the Natural Resources Canada Energy Innovation Program and supported research into innovative technologies and techniques to advance the tidal energy sector. The research was comprised of five unique research initiatives with focus areas in environmental mo
Developing Enhanced Marine Operations (DEMO) in High Flow Tidal Environments
October 2017 – October 2019
Conventional subsea remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) perform poorly in currents exceeding 1.5 m/s. This is a key operating limitation in the success and cost of marine operations in the Bay of Fundy, where current speeds reach 5 m/s.

Advanced Analyses of the MIRROR-1 OBS Profile from Offshore Morocco
July 2017 – April 2019
This project completes an analysis of the OETR and OCTOPUS seismic lines collected from offshore Nova Scotia and integrates the MIRROR I refraction line from offshore Morocco to allow comparison of the conjugate margins using wide-angle refraction/reflection ocean bottom seismometer profiles.
Cape Breton Tidal Energy Resource Assessment
November 2011 – October 2012
In support of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the Cape Breton Region, inclusive of the Bras d’Or Lakes, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) units were deployed at Barra Strait, Seal Island Bridge and Carey Point to collect tidal flow information. Potential sites for tidal e

Physics of the Interaction between a Crab and a Seismic Test Pulse – Development of a Mathematical Model and Testing of Model via Simulation
June 2009 – September 2011
Experimental attempts to establish whether seismic testing has any impact on crabs and the crab fishery have been hampered by a lack of theoretical work on the subject.
