Capacity Building for the Sustainable and Inclusive Development of Nova Scotia's Offshore Wind Resource
March 2022 – November 2024
Working together with our partners, Net Zero Atlantic will build local capacity in rural, Mi'kmaw, and other equity-deserving Nova Scotia communities so they can beneficially participate in any related impact assessments in Nova Scotia's offshore

Phase III: Nova Scotia Geothermal Strategic Planning Proposal
March – May 2022
The Phase I and Phase II geothermal reports demonstrated that Nova Scotia needs to gather more subsurface data – in particular by drilling one or more exploration wells to further ‘de-risk’ the province’s mid-depth geothermal resources. For these wells to be helpful, they must be located in

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”.

Multi-Scale Turbulence Measurement in the Aquatron Laboratory
July 2018 – July 2019
This project has two primary objectives - to characterize the flow and turbulence in the Aquatron facility pool tank using turbulence sensors calibrated against a traceable standard; and to test technologies for investigating the horizontal variability of turbulence in real-world tidal channels.

Remote Acoustic Measurements of Turbulence in High-Flow Tidal Channels during High Wave Conditions
April 2018 – April 2019
Many of the high-flow tidal channels targeted for worldwide in-stream hydro-electric development are impacted by surface gravity waves incident from a large exterior basin (e.g. the Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine/North Atlantic).

Optimized Combinations of Tidal, Wind and Solar Electricity Generation with Energy Storage to Meet Nova Scotia’s Electrical Demand
August 2018 – March 2019
Wind, solar and tidal-generated electricity each have different, but potentially complimentary, cyclic times.

STREEM: Sensor Testing Research for Environmental Effects Monitoring
October 2018 – March 2019
The research goal was to enhance understanding on sensor performance and sensor-to-sensor interactions to inform environmental effects monitoring (EEM) protocol for future tidal turbine deployments.

Innovative Solutions for De-risking Species Detections in Tidal Energy Environmental Effects Monitoring Programs
April 2018 – March 2019
With collaboration from Genome Atlantic, this research project is using a new environmental DNA technology to rapidly identify and determine abundance of different fish species in high-flow marine conditions. Experiments were conducted at Dalhousie University’s Aquatron facility. N
