Green ammonia derived membranes & sorbents for direct air capture of carbon dioxide
September 2023 – September 2024
Carbon dioxide (CO2) induced global warming is an existential threat, prompting efforts to reduce net emissions of this greenhouse gas (GHG) to zero. But as CO2 levels are already dangerously high, removal of CO2 remains necessary even once the net-zero target is achieved.

Finite Element Analysis to Assess Fish Mortality from Interactions with Tidal Turbine Blades
February – December 2017
The research project used finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the impact of a tidal turbine blade on fish, and assess whether mortality of marine life can be expected in such an event.

Tidal Turbine Marine Life Interaction Study: Fish
May 2016 – May 2017
This study at Dalhousie University’s Aquatron test tank monitored the behaviour of striped bass in the presence of an active tidal turbine. The research drew on expertise and experience from different parts of Canada and Europe over a one year project period.

Use of Bottom-Mounted Hydro-Acoustic Sonar to Assess Fish Presence and Vertical Distribution at the FORCE In-Stream Tidal Turbine Test Site in Minas Passage
May 2016 – April 2017
To better understand fish use of the Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy (FORCE) site and their potential for interaction with in-stream tidal devices, this study examined how fish density and vertical distribution varied with respect to environmental factors, in particular tidal stage and tim
