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

The Nicola River as many parts of British Columbia were hit by major floods in November 2021. These floods caused massive bank erosion and channel widening in the Nicola River. Floods are generally thought be important driver in changing the shape of a river as the high energy of floods can move large particles in […]

Mineral exploration is one of the biggest drivers of the Canadian economy, and the critical minerals discovered in Canada have global relevance for a green energy market. However, today’s mineral exploration projects require higher spatial resolution and better subsurface models to become viable. Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV) present new exploration platforms that carry geophysical sensors […]

Efficient monitoring of soil moisture is essential for evaluating crop stress and forecasting agricultural yields. In this regard, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is considered more suitable than traditional optical satellites due to its all-weather and all-day capacity, as well as its sensitivity to soil dielectric constant. To further enhance the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval, […]

The intern will be working with Project Watershed to understand the use of the three sites along the Courtenay River by juvenile salmonids, and whether one site appears to be better used by the juvenile salmonids or not. This work will help inform the partner organization whether their previous salmon habitat restoration activities along the […]

Ce projet scientifique, qui se déroulera entre juin 2014 et mai 2016, comprend 8 blocs de stage Mitacs-Accélération répartis entre 3 stagiaires, en maitrise, doctorat et postdoctorat. Il vise à mieux comprendre la structure et le métamorphisme d’une portion de croûte archéenne, ainsi que les relations géométriques et chronologiques avec la mise en place des […]

Instruments onboard the NASA Curiosity rover have revealed that organic matter (OM) is present on Mars; these chlorohydrocarbons are thought to originate from a reaction of OM with Martian perchlorates. We hypothesise the reaction may occur in the Mars near-surface, induced by the harsh radiative environment. Our team is thus investigating the influence of radiation […]

La chicouté est un petit fruit qui pousse naturellement en tourbière et sa mise en culture dans des tourbières abandonnées après exploitation de la tourbe permettrait de poursuivre des activités économiques, tout en restaurant le milieu. Son implantation demeure cependant problématique. La culture se fait à partir de segments de rhizomes qui sont souvent dépourvus […]

This research project aims to create a model to understand how nature benefits humans through services like pollination, food production, water supply, and soil health in the agricultural landscapes of the Canadian prairies. Using advanced technology, the project will map these services and study their complex relationships, as well as potential trade-offs and collaborations. The […]

Environmental education programs have become widely accepted and implemented throughout Ontario elementary and high schools. Ontario EcoSchools has and continues to play a vital role in providing environmental curriculum resources and support tools to promote ecological literacy, however research has shown that a gap between principle and practice remains. The proposed research project aims to […]

Lors de la période hivernale, les municipalités du Québec doivent effectuer des opérations de déneigement et de déglaçage des rues, trottoirs et pistes cyclables afin de favoriser la circulation automobile, piétonnière et cycliste. En fonction des changements climatiques anticipés, les municipalités devront modifier la planification de leurs activités en adoptant de bonnes mesures d’adaptation aux […]

Under the MADAME pilot project, collaborators from more than 30 European countries have collected samples of moss to evaluate their use as a biomonitor for the atmospheric deposition of microplastics. Under the Globalink Research Award, Mehriban Jafarova (PhD Candidate, University of Siena) will visit Trent University to collaborate with Prof. Julian Aherne on the extraction […]
