Developing Alternative Labour Organizing and Not-for-Profit Hiring Model to End Labour Exploitation of Temporary Migrant Farm Workers in British Columbia

The Canadian agricultural industry stands out as an emblematic case among developed countries that have long relied on (im)migrant labour from poorer, non-white countries to meet its labour needs. State-sponsored programs have facilitated the legal entry of migrant labour from countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Caribbean countries, among others. However, the temporary and restricted nature of guest worker contracts have commonly resulted in wide-scale employment violations and entrenched forms of labour exploitation. International labour recruiters and sending countries embassies cannot guarantee labour rights protection, fair wages, and protection from illegal recruitment fees. Through a comparative cross-country study between the U.S and Canada, this research seeks to explore transnational labour organizing models for migrant farmworkers and outline a not-for-profit hiring model to replace existing models that tend to encourage the systemic violation of farmworkers rights. This project will provide a practical model for discussion and input for public policy design.

Methods to improve high-resolution airborne thermal infrared (TIR) imagery in support of urban waste heat mapping, monitoring and metrics

This proposal builds on 5 years of research in the award winning HEAT (Heat Energy Assessment Technologies) project. Every year, billions of GJ of wasted heat leave millions of buildings in thousands of cities world-wide. In an effort to support urban energy efficiency, this research proposes four novel image post-processing techniques to improve/verify the geometry, radiometry and the processing of large volumes of high-resolution airborne thermal infrared (TIR) imagery. Results are expected to enable faster and more accurate urban waste heat mapping and refined waste heat metrics. Analysis will take place on 825km2 of TABI-1800 airborne TIR data acquired at night (2012) over the city of Calgary, Alberta at a 50cm spatial resolution and 5/100 deg C thermal resolution. The planned benefit to Uncommon Innovation (the Partner) is the opportunity to commercialize these improved HEAT products as green web services, which are increasingly being requested by municipalities, utilities, and Realtors to support urban energy efficiency, low carbon living and green buildings worldwide.

Defining SDN protocols to enable Orchestration of Service Provision across Multiple Optical Transport Networks

The primary goal of the intern project is to research and propose implementations that enable streamlining the APP (application layer) interface to flow through the SDN layered model. The target solution would enable a SDN-standardized approach of handling the APP communication with the data plane. It involves developing an Application plug-in for the Open Day Light (ODL) software, adding necessary support at Layer 1 to increase the North Bound Interface (NBI) and South Bound Interface (SBI) count, and to implement the required intelligence in the ProNX BTI Management & Control Software (http://www.btisystems.com/Portals/0/Documents/Data-Sheets/proNX-Software- DS0048.pdf). This new approach will be capable of handling multiple SDN networks with a common master SDN controller.

Développement d’un guide sylvicole basé sur les traits fonctionnels

Le gouvernement du Québec et les entreprises s’orientent vers un aménagement forestier durable de nos écosystèmes forestiers afin d’en conserver la biodiversité et une croissance optimale. Ce projet s’inscrit dans cette lignée, il a pour but d’étudier l’influence des variables environnementales, notamment les perturbations naturelles et anthropiques sur les communautés de sous-bois de la forêt boréale. Les connaissances acquises permettront d’améliorer la compréhension de l’influence des variables environnementales sur la distribution des espèces de sous-bois ainsi que celle des traits fonctionnels au sein de la pessière. Plus précisément encore, l’intérêt se portera sur les perturbations naturelles et anthropiques connues pour avoir une influence sur la dynamique forestière. Une comparaison de l’impact de ces dernières sur les traits fonctionnels des peuplements d’épinette présents sur les sols argileux de l’Abitibi sera étudiée. Ceci permettra le développement d’un guide sylvicole qui aura pour but de diminuer les écarts entre les perturbations naturelles et anthropiques. L’aspect des traits fonctionnels permettra une généralisation des résultats obtenus et nous permettra une facilitation de la mise en place de l’aménagement forestier écosystémique.
