Shaw Alar Soever Scotiabank Marine Geology Research Laboratory The SMGRL was established in 1989 with an “Excellence in Education Award” from the Bank of Nova Scotia, its first annual award of this type, to the lab’s Director, Steve Scott. Because of Steve’s retirement to emeritus status in 2006, the SMGRL has fewer researchers but is nevertheless still very active. Since the 2008 newsletter, the lab’s research team has published 14 papers and presented 23 talks/posters at national and international conferences, most of which were invited. Postdoctoral Fellow Elitsa Hrischeva worked with Steve on metalliferous sediments at modern seafloor hydrothermal sites. Some of this was a contribution to the Environmental Impact Statement by Toronto-headquartered Nautilus Minerals Inc. on their Solwara 1 seafloor massive sulfide site in the Bismarck Sea offshore eastern Papua New Guinea that the company expects to mine when the current international financial crisis is resolved and necessary permits are issued. In June, Elitsa took a position with Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario. Postdoctoral Fellow, Filipa Marques, is splitting her time between the SMGRL and the University of Lisbon. She and Steve are using melt inclusions in phenocrysts of volcanic rocks to understand better the igneous and hydrothermal processes that are presently producing seafloor sulfides in the Azores region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and that in the geologic past produced giant massive sulfide deposits of the Iberian Pyrite Belt of Portugal and Spain. Filipa spent several weeks at sea off the Azores training to be a pilot of a robotic submersible as Portugal solidifies its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) claim. Steve spent all or part of every month on the road in 2008, mostly giving invited, keynote and plenary talks in 8 countries. One trip with his wife, Joan, was a 2-month odyssey through France, China, Australia and Hawaii. In Kunming, SW China, and with the help of 8 internationally renowned geologists, they organized a 5-day short course on ore deposits for 325 enthusiastic participants. Steve conducted 21 media interviews involving print, radio and television, one of which was the taping of an hour long @issue program for the digital broadcaster ichannel that will be aired on Ocean Day. He is a subject of interest in the ROM’s new Teck Suite of Galleries and also managed to fit in some outreach at a Toronto public school. S.D.S. 7
