Le projet Amaruq, détenu à 100% par la compagnie Mines Agnico Eagle Ltée., est situé à 50 km au nord-ouest de la Mine Meadowbank et à 120 km au nord-ouest de la communauté de Baker Lake, au Nunavut. Le projet Amaruq fait présentement l’objet de travaux d’exploration intensifs suite à la découverte en 2013 par […]

Professionally practicing Civil Engineers and Earth Scientists engage in stream restoration actions in order to enhance freshwater habitats for salmon, trout, and a variety of other species. There is a wealth of procedures and standards available to help practitioners develop design plans. However, there is a lack of specific guidelines to help identify stream reconstruction […]

Les tourbières dans la région du Centre-Nord du Québec, n’ont jamais fait l’objet d’études détaillées. Ces tourbières seraient des tourbières minérotrophes pauvres s’apparentant morphologiquement à celles des secteurs de LG4 et de Laforge situés plus au nord. Dans cette région, les tourbières présentent des signes de déséquilibre hydrologique notamment par l’expansion et la coalescence des […]

This research project is focused on char, a carbon compound which is similar to activated carbon found in water filters such as Brita. This char is produced as a by-product of a municipal waste treatment processes. The char currently produced has high levels of naphthalene, the volatile organic compound used as the principal ingredient in […]

Le lac Saint-Charles est la source d’eau potable qui alimente plusieurs municipalités sur le territoire métropolitain de Québec, près de 300 000 personnes. La forte urbanisation de son bassin versant a accéléré sa dégradation. Les données scientifiques laissent croire que cette dégradation pourrait être irréversible si les actions requises ne sont pas mises en œuvre […]

Le lac Saint-Charles est une source d’eau potable qui alimente plusieurs municipalités sur le territoire métropolitain de Québec, soit 300 000 personnes. L’urbanisation de son bassin versant a contribué à sa dégradation. L’objectif du projet est de faire un bilan hydrologique afin de tracer et de quantifier les sources des contaminants dans le lac. L’APEL […]

Municipal sustainability in Canada has been gaining importance in recent years. In order to ensure real progress is made, sustainability assessment must be conducted. Indicators are the recommended measures for sustainability assessment. This research project will create a core set of indicators for use in a sustainable cities index. A set of sustainability best practices […]

Transparent electrodes (TEs) combine high optical transparency and electrical conductivity, useful in different devices such as light-emitting diodes, displays and solar cells. A highly competitive market of electronic devices, such as phones and flexible touch screens as well as a worldwide increasing demand for energy, drives research to improve the performance of TEs. However, mass […]

The Salish Sea is a highly productive, dynamic coastal ocean with substantial temporal and spatial variability at lower trophic levels (e.g. phytoplankton and zooplankton). This variability, in turn, may directly impact resident and migratory fish populations that are of major economic importance in the region. The main goal of this research is to investigate the […]

Nova Scotia Power Inc. provides programing for customers seeking to procure and install heat pumps at their homes. By enabling the installation of a high-efficiency heating solution, heat pumps help customers lower their heating bills.

Grizzly bears represent a valuable economic, ecological, cultural and symbolic resource for British Columbia. In order to preserve this resource the current population of brown bears needs to be monitored to ensure the health of the population. One marker of health is the genetic health of the population. Genetic monitoring can also tell us important […]

Lamps and lighting products are the most commonly used electrical product around the globe. With the improvement in lamp technologies, from incandescent bulb to compact fluorescent lamp to LED bulbs, the products have grown complex and hence they require an improved recycling process. An LED lamp consists of various valuable metals such as iron, copper, […]
