Sustainable Energy Research

Our Team

Led by Professor Grant Wach, our research team applies expertise in basin analysis and geological structures to modern energy sustainability issues. Housed in the Basin and Reservoir Lab within the Department of Earth Sciences at Dalhousie University, our team includes professors, graduate and undergraduate students, research staff, and industry partners.
