The City of Edmonton supports research, educational and professional development experience for University of Alberta graduate students. The program immerses students in a real world learning experience where they can apply their skills and contribute to building a thriving, sustainable and welcoming home for the Edmontonians of today and tomorrow. This will be a joint […]

The City of Edmonton’s Community Energy Transition Strategy & Action Plan identifies the urgent need to renovate Edmonton’s existing home stock to reduce energy use and utility costs. There are over 350,000 residential buildings that need to improve their energy efficiency in order for the City of Edmonton to meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals. […]

Edmonton is on a path of transformational change to become a climate resilient and low carbon city. Edmonton’s Energy Transition Strategy and Action Plan identifies the actions needed to align Edmonton with the international target of limiting global warming to 1.5C. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation and generating local renewable energy are two […]

Edmonton is on a path of transformational change to become a climate resilient and low carbon city. While there are many components to creating this vision, sustainable transportation and equity are front and center in shaping the future of Edmonton. Transportation is one of the major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing 31% of […]

Les tendances récentes liées au sport et à l’aménagement du territoire interpellent de plus en plus à la résolution d’enjeux sociaux et territoriaux tout à fait conjoints. D’un côté, les manchettes récentes reflètent des desitératums locaux d’instances privées et publiques de tous les azimuts, qui ont à jongler avec un marché de sportif de plus […]

Watersheds in the coastal regions of British Columbia are comprised of rugged mountains and high storm runoff, rendering streams prone to increases in snowmelt during rain-on-snow (ROS) events due to forest harvesting. Importantly, both forest harvesting operations and ROS events are widespread in the transitional snow zones of Vancouver Island, BC. Correspondingly, they routinely experience […]

Solarvest has developed a cutting-edge technology that enables algae to produce hydrogen in a continuous cycle in a single vessel. The hydrogen is released along with carbon dioxide and water, and intermittently the algae needs to be permitted to carry out photosynthesis, which generates oxygen. This project entails the construction, installation and testing of a […]

Epithermal-type deposits are small, high-grade gold and/or silver ± base metal deposits that formed shallowly in the upper crust and are frequently associated with hydrothermal fluids related to deeper emplaced, large tonnage, low-grade precious metal ± base metal porphyry deposits. Bringing the deeper emplaced deposits to surface requires processes such as erosion of overlying rocks. […]

L’industrie viticole au Québec est en pleine expansion avec un intérêt croissant de la population de consommer des produits locaux de qualité. Connu pour ses bienfaits sur la santé humaine notamment grâce à ses propriétés antioxydantes, le vin a largement trouvé sa place sur les tables québécoises. Cependant, les raisins cultivés au Québec manquent souvent […]

BC Hydro purchases power from four independent wind farms in British Columbia to supplement their hydropower. But wind is not steady, so BC Hydro must compensate for shortfalls or excesses in wind power to provide steady, reliable, economical power to its customers. To achieve this reliability, BC Hydro uses wind forecasts provided by the University […]

The overall goal of the project is to contribute to the advancement of safe and sustainable environmental remediation through increasing knowledge of catabolic processes occurring during bioremediation and how engineered amendments may enhance these processes. To achieve the overall goal, research activities will investigate catabolic processes involved in the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon- (PHC) and […]

Typical forests in Canada were used to qualitatively and quantitatively study atmospheric environmental factors and plant therapy characteristics The relationship between negative oxygen ion concentration and phytoncides and the environmental factors was analysed by means of path analysis and regression analysis. Biotic and abiotic factors affecting the release of phytoncides are studied, and their effects […]
