Continuously evolving Newfoundland offshore model

加拿大是幸运的，拥有我们赖以维持生活的能源资源，以及绿化我们的经济所需的矿产资源，以及帮助应对气候变化所需的碳储存地点。特别是，纽芬兰和拉布拉多省的近海边缘具有满足所有这些需求的潜力，此外还有长期的近海勘探遗产带来的额外好处，这些遗产产生了必要的数据，以评估利用这些资源和地点抗击气候变化和支持加拿大可持续未来的潜力。通过与离岸行业专家(纽芬兰和拉布拉多石油天然气公司(OilCo)、石油地质服务公司(PGS)和TGS加拿大公司(TGS))建立这一拟议的合作伙伴关系，纽芬兰纪念大学的学生研究人员将结合所有现有数据集并使用机器学习的能力来释放这些数据集的全部潜力，从而开发和构建一个不断演变的纽芬兰离岸模型(CENOM)。由此产生的现代“数字孪生”近海模型将帮助我们确定关键矿物和碳储存地点潜力增强的地区，并使用计算机重建和模拟来回顾地质时间。这些追求最终将有助于我们对大陆如何分裂和海洋盆地形成的基本理解。

Canada is fortunate to host the energy resources that we've come to depend on to power our lives as well as the mineral resources that will be needed to green our economy and the carbon storage sites required to help tackle climate change. In particular, the offshore margins of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador have the potential to satisfy all of these needs, with the added benefit of a long legacy of offshore exploration that has generated the data necessary to evaluate the potential to employ these resources and sites to fight climate change and support a sustainable future for Canada. Through this proposed partnership with offshore industry experts (Oil and Gas Corporation of Newfoundland and Labrador (OilCo), Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS), and TGS Canada Corporation (TGS)), student researchers at Memorial University of Newfoundland will develop and build a Continuously Evolving Newfoundland Offshore Model (CENOM) by combining all of the existing datasets and using the power of machine learning to unlock the full potential of these datasets. The resulting modern-day "digital twin" offshore model will help us identify regions with enhanced potential for critical minerals and carbon storage sites, and to look back through geological time using computer reconstructions and simulations. These pursuits will ultimately contribute to our fundamental understanding of how continents break apart and ocean basins form.
