to date the effects of salt tectonics as preserved in the stratigraphic record, thereby providing potential constraints on models of margin evolution. The results of the study and particulars of research undertaken are presented in Chapters 3, 4, and 5. A discussion is presented in Chapter 6, conclusions and recommendations for further work are presented in and 7. Chapter 2 contains a review of the published regional geological knowledge and structural and stratigraphic understanding of the Scotian Slope. This review provides the necessary framework for the original geoscience work done during the study. 17
