We propose to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle structure of the offshore Nova Scotia margin with the aim of producing a comprehensive regional map of the rifting style along the margin to contribute to a better understanding of the margin geology and its significant variations from NE to SW. We will process the already […]

L’éclaircie commerciale est un traitement sylvicole qui permet de répondre au besoin d’approvisionnement de l’industrie du bois en dégageant des volumes de bois à court terme et en améliorant la productivité et les rendements des peuplements à moyen-long terme. Un réseau régional de suivi des éclaircies commerciales couvrant l’ensemble du territoire d’Abitibi a été installé […]

Carbon dioxide generated by burning fossil fuels is one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for the climate change. There is a world-wide effort to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In addition to renewable resources such as solar and wind power, hydrogen is emerging as a green energy source. The energy […]

The collection of baseline data on marine mammal use of tidal energy sites prior to Tidal In stream Energy Conversion (TISEC) deployments is considered vital in any subsequent post-deployment assessment of changes in marine mammal activity levels or spatial use. The proposed project involves the deployment of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) devices (hydrophones) for an […]

Le projet vise à améliorer un système d’aide à la conduite pour les camions de transport basé sur des caméras embarquées et des techniques d’intelligence artificielle. L’objectif principal est de mettre à jour l’information sur la vitesse maximale autorisée, cette information étant ensuite utilisée pour limiter automatiquement la vitesse des camions. Le défi principal est […]

Carbonate hosted hydrothermal ore deposits commonly develop narrow mineral alteration (i.e. visible) haloes, complicating exploration targeting. In contrast, hydrothermal modification of the country rock’s stable isotope composition usually extends far beyond visible alteration. Hence, stable isotope “mapping” is an effective tool to aid exploration for carbonate?hosted deposits. However, widespread utilization of stable isotope data has […]

Alberta’s natural resource sector has resulted in the continuous and persistent loss of forest productivity. Despite huge strides in reclamation practices within the last 40 years, there is still a sizeable legacy of industrial disturbed sites that represent a significant opportunity to enhance the sustainability of the forest industry in the province. Forest companies have […]

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]

Hydroponic greenhouse agriculture is an excellent method of producing crops throughout the year in agro-climatologically challenging remote provinces such as Newfoundland and Labrador. However, energy requirements for heating, ventilation and light may reduce profitability of greenhouses even with high local demand for products. This pre-feasibility study investigates the potential of using mini-hydroelectric power to generate […]

La biodiversité apporte à l’humanité une grande quantité de services écosystémiques essentiels à la vie sur terre qu’il convient de protéger. Pour le stage proposé à Léonie Kilani Joli, nous nous intéresserons à l’étude de l’avifaune à partir d’une plateforme multimodale de caméras et de microphones connectés pour détecter la présence d’oiseaux, classifier les espèces […]

E-SMART conçoit un écosystème de produits qui offre aux flottes de camions une façon innovante d’assurer le respect des limites de vitesse par les conducteurs de camion. Dans le cadre de ce projet, la compagnie souhaite développer une technologie permettant d’utiliser la cartographie publique, par exemple OpenStreetMap (OSM) et de faire la mise en correspondance […]

The climate of northern Quebec and Labrador is strongly influenced by climate change and internal (natural) climate variability on time scales ranging from years to decades. Internal variability occurs without human influence and can superimpose onto the anthropogenically forced climate change signal, thus adding uncertainty in the assessment of local climate change impacts. Northern communities […]
