As communities seek to advance their climate adaptation plans, deciding what projects to implement and when poses a significant challenge, particularly given the remaining uncertainties related to climate impacts, as well as dealing with limited resources for project implementation within communities. Using the Coastal Flood Adaptation Strategy of the City of Surrey, the proposed research […]

The proposed research project aims to determine the optimal utilization of less productive agricultural land in Canada. The objective is to leverage the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence together with optimization techniques to decide where nature-based solutions, such as smart farming, tree planting, and natural area regeneration, should be implemented. Selecting the appropriate strategies for […]

Au Maroc, la disponibilité en eau douce constitue un défi majeur, tel le cas dans la région de l’Oued Draa (sud du Maroc), une région dépendante des eaux souterraines pour l’irrigation, l’eau potable et d’autres usages. La sécheresse météorologique, la surexploitation et la pollution menacent cette ressource essentielle. Pour évaluer la résilience et la vulnérabilité […]

Les ressources en eau subissent des pressions croissantes mondialement en raison du changement climatique, de l’agriculture intensive et de la croissance démographique. D’ici 2050, la majorité des bassins versants pourraient être en situation critique et il devient crucial de développer des outils pour en faire le diagnostic. Dans les Basses-Laurentides, le bassin du Ruisseau Rousse […]

Cyanoborate anions, negatively charged B–CN compounds, have been well established as important building blocks in metal organic frameworks, room-temperature ionic liquids (RTIL’s), and part of metal complexes. RTIL are particularly important in green chemistry, because of absence of any toxic vapours, and in photovoltaic cells, to name only a few applications. Certain cationic species, such […]

Explore the use of virtual fencing collars to contain cattle within pasture boundaries on an operational level. This has not been done before by other research, and no other research has been done in mountainous regions. This would fill in gaps in research that have not been explored yet. On top of that research is […]

Ce projet vise à donner des expériences de stage appliqué dans le domaine de l’exploration/exploitation minière à des étudiants en géologie au niveau maîtrise. Ces stages seront accueillis par des compagnies d’exploration, d’exploitation ou de service basées au Canada à la recherche de différents types de minéralisation sur des propriétés minières dont le niveau de […]

Modern agriculture has focused on cultivating annual crops for their uniformity and quick production timeline. However, a sustainable ecosystem includes the combination of annual and perennial plants, with perennials providing soil health services and resilience under dynamic conditions. Newly developed lineages of intermediate wheatgrass, a perennial crop that uniquely produces grain and forage, were introduced […]

Deformations in the sea ice cover occur along narrow Linear Kinematic Features (LKFs) when the load on the ice from the surface wind or ocean current exceeds the mechanical strength of sea ice in shear, tension, or compression. Along these high deformation lines, sea ice floes can slide along one another (shear), ridge (convergence), or […]
