Aspy Well Geochemistry
December 2019 – September 2020
This project determines if indications of migrated hydrocarbons or potential source rocks were encountered during the 2018 drilling of BP’s deep-water well Aspy D-11 well.
Analysis Framework for Long-Term and Cumulative Effects Monitoring
October 2018 – September 2020
This project created a framework for testing in-stream tidal turbine effects on specific marine species populations. The framework provides the basis for future assessment of far-field and cumulative environmental effects.
Modeling of Electric Boats as Energy Storage
July 2018 – September 2020
Electric boats have the potential to act as “energy storage wrapped in a boat”.

Predictive Modeling of Sandstone Reservoir Distribution in the SW Scotian Basin
March 2018 – April 2020
The SW Scotian Basin is considered an under-explored passive margin sedimentary basin, however, it is also the most probable location to find oil on the Scotian Margin.
Testing of Temporal Monitoring Techniques for Benthic Habitat Impacts of Tidal Energy Developments
September 2011 – November 2014
This project tested and developed monitoring procedures for assessing the impact of the placement of in-stream tidal devices (e.g. turbines, cables and other seafloor hardware) on the seafloor environment.
Implications of Tidal Energy Extraction on Sedimentary Processes within Shallow Intertidal Environments
September 2011 – April 2014
This project assessed the implications of tidal energy extraction on sedimentary processes within shallow inter-tidal ecosystems.
