The livelihood of First Nation communities and local ranchers are primarily depending on cattle raising, yet ongoing salvage logging within the catchment has the potential to compromise the watershed hydrology resulting in higher peak flows and reduced low flows jeopardizing the channel stability, road safety and water availability. The intern will carry out field investigations […]

Dans le cadre du projet VertBerry du Défi Cultiver l’Innovation d’ici de la Weston Family Foundation et en complémentarité avec le projet Sentinelle Nord sur la sécurité alimentaire des communautés inuites du Kitikmeot, ce stage de recherche vise à concevoir des protocoles de domestication pour des espèces arctiques comestibles, notamment les petits fruits, permettant ainsi […]

The Halifax Port Authority (HPA) is launching a study that will examine aquatic ecosystems in the Halifax Harbour. This work will support HPA in better understanding local ecosystems that have the potential to be affected by port operations and thus determine the port’s zones of influence. This research study will help to establish benchmarks for […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

The project is on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Flame Retardant Textile used for the Production of Occupational Safety Clothing with focus on the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Industry, and the results of the research will provide data for the partner company to be able to provide information and guidance at different steps in the […]

La fleur de sel est un produit recherché dans le milieu gastronomique. La structure spécifique des cristaux de fleur de sel donne un croquant en bouche et libère en même temps un goût salé explosif. La fleur de sel est produite essentiellement autour de la Méditerranée. Pour produire de la fleur de sel au Québec […]

To construct models that can utilize the extensive data that has been previously collected, associated with numerous GHG reduction initiatives to accurately quantify realized or unrealized GHG emission reductions. From the work that was completed by O’Hanlon Paving’s previous intern, we were able to gather extensive data but unable to determine accurately if gains had […]

For nearly three decades, Edmonton has been a pioneer in urban sustainability, implementing naturalization projects that revert sections of maintained City green space to a more native and ecologically balanced state. These efforts span diverse urban areas, including roadways, storm water ponds, park spaces, and communities. The City’s Naturalization program strategically plants trees, shrubs, and […]

Ce projet de recherche vise la valorisation des métaux contenus dans les poussières d’aciérie du procédé EAF de l’usine de Arcelor Mittal à Contrecoeur. Ce produit pourrait éventuellement être exploitée comme un gisement de ressources secondaires afin d’en valoriser le contenu en métaux surtout au niveau du zinc. La stagiaire a jusqu’à présent procédé à […]

Rain-on-snow events, where rain falls on pre-existing snow, cause some of the highest peak flows in mountainous coastal regions, such as Southwestern British Columbia. Operational hydrologists have a difficult time predicting runoff during these events because of an incomplete knowledge of the energy fluxes into and within the snowpack over large areas, and because of […]

Dog ownership is increasing within our cities along with increasing usage of dog parks and off-leash areas. This increased usage is likely impacting the environment within these off-leash areas. Effects may include chemical and physical changes to the soil and vegetation that could lead to soil erosion and mortality of vegetation ranging from grasses to […]

To feed the globally increasing population and increasing costs of producing food, this project seeks to use artificial intelligence to develop an app to assist in sustainable agriculture management. By monitoring soil moisture, nutrient levels, climate and crop type, a machine learning algorithm will link the farming action (application of fertilizer, flood irrigation and other) […]
