Full waveform inversion (FWI) is an inversion technique that uses least squares theory to compute a velocity model of the Earth that minimizes the difference between an acquired shot and a synthetic shot. The technique proved to be of hard usage in industry and the goal of the project is to research for solutions that […]

The annual return of sockeye salmon to the Fraser River is a vital part of British Columbia’s environment, economy, and First Nations heritage. However, sockeye salmon can face numerous challenges during their migration including fisheries, warm water temperatures, and dams. Recent population declines in sockeye salmon have prompted concerns over the challenges salmon face during […]

Shear zone-hosted, or orogenic, gold deposits are a significant mineral resource in the Superior Province of Canada. This study will investigate the nature and genesis of gold mineralisation in the Red Lake area of the Uchi subprovince. Recent exploration by Bounty Gold Corp. has identified Au mineralisation in the Laird Lake area close to the […]

Le projet Bloc Marban est situé à une quinzaine de kilomètres à l’ouest de la ville de Val-d’Or et comprend les anciennes mines Marban, Kierens et Norlartic qui ont produit collectivement environ 590 000 onces d’or et qui sont maintenant trois gîtes dont les ressources minérales combinées sont de 32 millions de tonnes à une […]

The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. The holistic nature of this definition provides the basis for an all-encompassing evaluation of health, which is the guiding principle behind health impact assessment (HIA). An emerging area of public […]

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, […]

Forest certification is a voluntary market-based instrument to promote sustainable forest management (SFM). Although, large areas of forests have been certified against different certification schemes in British Columbia, there has been a recent slowdown in the uptake of forest certification due to a number of factors, including a lack of awareness. Architects and builders have […]

Au Canada, la gestion des sols pollués aux métaux lourds sur le moyen et le long terme revêt une importance capitale, car les sols, comme l’eau, sont des ressources limitées et font partie du patrimoine national. Déversés dans l’environnement, les métaux lourds s’accumulent principalement dans les sols. Dans un contexte de développement durable, l’utilisation de […]

Regional and municipal partners spend resources, time and effort securing and protecting their natural heritage systems. Roadways act as barriers restricting movement of plants and animals, degrading habitat for many species, and increasing mortality affecting the quality of these natural heritage systems. The intern will investigate methods, techniques and technologies that can be used to […]

The purpose of this project is to aid in the development of more complete carbon accounting within forestry carbon projects, by working towards a means of calculating long term carbon storage within harvested wood products in British Columbia (BC). The project will involve a literature review of harvested wood products manufacturing statistic in BC and […]

Understanding river water quality is critical for various purposes such as ensuring drinking water safety, protecting public health and aquatic habitat, monitoring pollution, and disease control. The traditional approach to investigating water quality is by acquiring water samples at fixed-locations, which is time and cost consuming and cannot discover spatial distribution of water quality over […]
