File contains a programme of a conference co-sponsored by the Public Services Committee of the Faculty of Law and the Centre for International Business Studies of the School of Business Administration, both at Dalhousie University.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking Project (POST). The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking project provided the first continent-wide research to acoustically track the migratory patterns of 18 species of marine life familiar to the Pacific coast. The project, led by American-Canadian scientist James Bolger, examined the migratory patterns of salmon, jumbo squid, sturgeon, and other coastal marine life, gathering data on roughly 16,000 individuals. The project served as a smaller-scale precursor of the Ocean Tracking Network.

Files contains three papers. The paper's titles are "recent trends in degrees awarded and enrolments a Canadian universities", "university enrolment projection to 2000", "the stock of research trained personnel" and "research manpower requirements arising from accelerated expenditures on R&D".
Item consists of two copies of a pamphlet about the new Life Sciences Centre at Dalhousie Univeristy. The pamphlet outlines the departments and facilities in the building.
Series contains published reports, newsletters, proposals, and funding applications from the Ocean Production Enhancement Network (OPEN). The fonds also includes a paper on OPEN written by Ronald Keith O'Dor.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life affiliate program, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). The Ocean Biogeographic Information System project, compiled alongside the Census of Marine Life, serves as the world's largest online repository of spatially referenced marine life data, containing millions of records created from hundreds of CoML datasets. The project, led by American scientists Edward Vanden Berghe and J. Frederick Grassle (previously by New Zealander Mark J. Costello), locates all oceanic species in a permanent, evolving repository, identifying oceanic points of high diversity, tracking species dispersion, and integrating species locales with variables such as temperature, salinity, and depth.
