Sequence stratigraphy, titania diagenesis and relationship to petroleum systems modeling
October 2018 – January 2021
This project examines different forms of titania (TiO2) minerals to confirm the relationship between late diagenetic titania (i.e., titania minerals transformed under the heat and pressure of sedimentary processes) and hydrocarbon migration and thus assess the use of titania polymorphs as “pathfi

Seismic Reconstruction and Petroleum Systems Modeling of the Nova Scotia-Morocco Conjugate Margin
April – December 2019
Seismic Reconstruction
The Seismic Reconstruction project is a stand-alone element of the Conjugate Margin Program undertaken by the consulting firm Beicip Franlab. A number of subprojects and data streams are inputs to this project.
Quantifying Fish-Turbine Interactions Using New VEMCO Tagging Technology
October 2017 – December 2019
This project tested innovative acoustic fish tagging technology made by VEMCO, a Nova Scotian engineering technology company. Their acoustic telemetry tags are expected to be more effective in noisy, high-current environments like the Minas Passage.
Integrating Hydro-acoustic Approaches to Predict Fish Interactions with In-Stream Tidal Turbines
October 2017 – December 2019
Understanding exactly how fish interact with tidal turbines is still a critical knowledge gap for the tidal energy sector.
Multipurpose X-Band Marine Radar Network for the Minas Passage
January – November 2019
Marine X-band radar locates vessels and features, including coastlines and buoys. It filters distracting signals (eg.
