Vernon Eville
Ocean Acoustic Specialist
Vernon joined the RIU team in January 2021. Having spent his recent career in the oil and gas industry, Vern is excited to return to Dalhousie in an effort to help monitor the Maritimes’ coastal environment.
After receiving his B.Eng from Dalhousie, he completed an A.Dip in Remote Sensing/GIS from COGS and an MEng in Geomatics Engineering from UNB, ultimately specializing in hydrography and oceanography. With an emphasis on multibeam and side scan sonar acoustics, Vern has participated in numerous missions for habitat mapping, charting, cable routes and geophysical surveys from the Arctic to the Caribbean.
Dalhousie University operates in the unceded territories of the Mi’kmaw, Wolastoqey, and Peskotomuhkati Peoples. These sovereign nations hold inherent rights as the original peoples of these lands, and we each carry collective obligations under the Peace and Friendship Treaties. Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 recognizes and affirms Aboriginal and Treaty rights in Canada.
We acknowledge that the lands on which Memorial University’s campuses are situated are in the traditional territories of diverse Indigenous groups, and we acknowledge with respect the diverse histories and cultures of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu, and Inuit of this province.
