This projects aims to understand the mechanisms responsible for lithium mineralization associated with hard rock in Manitoba, Canada. Lithium is seen as critical for the decarbonization of our economy and as such it is vital that we understand its origins and be able to predict where to find more in a sustainable way. Another objective […]

Floods have been considered the most common and leading cause of natural disasters worldwide. In Vietnam as well as in Canada, more frequent and severe floods have been documented to growing number of negative health outcomes. Alongside concurrent mitigation efforts, developing accurate methods to identify the health impacts of flooding to adapt will be crucial. […]

The dissertation title is “Optimization of Interventions to Reduce Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) (Quebec City as a Case Study)”. For cities where combined sewer systems are designed to transport both wastewater and stormwater flows in a single pipes network, during wet weather conditions, the volume of runoff may exceed the system capacity which results in […]

The goal of this study is to determine the links between two critically important sedimentary basins that record major changes in the Earths atmosphere and surface environment around 2.5 billion years ago. These basins are now on different continents, the Hammersley basin in Australia, and the Griqualand West basin in South Africa, however when they […]

Metal contamination in inland waters is of key concern for lake and human health. Unfortunately, our present understanding of metal contamination in lakes across the world is fragmented, as long-term monitoring programs are rare. The study of lake sediments offers an opportunity to address this gap, as sediments preserve a record of the environmental dynamics. […]

Arctic Sea-ice extent is declining due to climate change. Wildlife, maritime operations and northern communities that depend on sea-ice for traveling and hunting are negatively affected by its decline. Monitoring sea-ice thickness is an important tool to help in decision making in Arctic regions but, due to the snow covering the sea-ice, remote sensing’s sea-ice […]

Le projet de la stagiaire Imane Nafouri, vise l’élaboration d’une carte de risque d’érosion hydrique de Dadès, un des principaux sous-bassins de l’hydrosystème de Drâa, situé au sud du Maroc. L’ensemble de cet hydrosystème est affecté par des évènements météorologiques extrêmes, à savoir des périodes de sécheresses sévères et quelques épisodes de précipitations soudaines et […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à étudier les effets du changement climatique en cours sur la dynamique fluviale d’une rivière évoluant en milieu périglaciaire (Beaver Creek, Yukon, Canada). L’évolution de sa dynamique sera reconstituée à partir d’images satellites et photographies aériennes en caractérisant les déplacements des îles et berges. A cette fin, seront analysés par […]

The Nashwaak Watershed Association Inc. (NWAI) was founded in 1995 as a non-profit organization dedicated to promote, conserve, and restore the Nashwaak ecosystem by using science-based methods, community collaboration, and advocacy for the watershed and its inhabitants. The organization’s vision is to see “people caring for a clean, healthy, and beautiful Nashwaak River watershed that […]

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

The primary purpose of this project is to mitigate phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) runoff from agricultural lands in the Bay of Quinte Area of Concern (AOC) using passive reactors. These reactors are cheap and easy to construct and use waste eggshells as the main reactive material creating a useful product from a waste material. […]

The CBPPL Company generates five tons of biomass ash daily as a byproduct of generating heat from their boiler. Currently, this waste is disposed of at the local landfill. However, it is acknowledged that the soil in the region is of low fertility and requires correction for agricultural purposes. Therefore, this document proposes a technical […]
