The intern Samuel Valman will work with Professors André St-Hilaire and Normand Bergeron at IRNS to develop a system to monitor river water discharge using satellite earth observation. The method developed will focus on measuring discharge during the melt water season of rivers in Quebec. This meltwater period is traditionally the most difficult period to […]

The Arctic is undergoing rapid change due to climate change, making local processes such as ocean heat transport and nutrient supply critical to understand due to their respective influences on retreating tidewater glaciers and local ecosystems. Northern Baffin Bay is a key region due to its proximity to rapidly retreating tidewater glaciers, as well as […]

Release of nutrients from wastewater treatment and local houses into lake St Charles as the main source of drinking water to Quebec City has risen major concerns during the recent decade. As such, it is important to study the governing factors impacting the water quality of this strategic lake. For this purpose, in this project, […]

L’industrie agroalimentaire produit des tonnes de résidus de céleri et de laitue qui sont soit compostés, soit rejetés à grand frais. Ces résidus végétaux sont très riches en nitrates à l’extraction ou à la valorisation pour le domaine des aliments biologiques à valeur ajoutée pour la santé. La présente proposition vise à développer deux extraits […]

eThor is a startup company that develops applications for mobile devices in the area of e-commerce for wholesale and retail customers, initially in the restaurant industry. The internships proposed in this application relate to the expansion of data gathering, data mining and social network capabilities for the applications development. The data gathered will be transformed […]

On the former floodplain of the Mamquam River in Squamish, British Columbia are a series of side-channels that were constructed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada in 1983-1996. These channels were built to restore some of the side-channel habitat that was lost following the dyking of the Mamquam River mainstem for flood protection. […]

Waste diversion is a prominent discussion across Canada, as we have recognized the large impact that the waste we produce has on the environment as well as the impact of how we manage it. The most common conversations have often been around personal waste reduction and the “zero-waste” movement, however what has been largely left […]

Seismic techniques are used to image the structure of the subsurface and expand our knowledge about the geological condition of the underground. The information acquired from these techniques is employed in domains such as the petroleum industry and clean energy development. Seismic studies also play a vital role in geotechnical projects and civil engineering. The […]

L’intérêt de la recherche réside dans le fait qu’une entreprise comme Certex envoie à l’enfouissement entre 750 et 1000 tonnes de rebuts de textile annuellement. Les auteurs Stall–Meadows et al. (2012) affirment que près de 100% de ce type de rebuts pourrait être recyclé.13 L’objet de cette étude consiste à évaluer les perspectives de défibrer […]

Le développement d’outil pour identifier les secteurs géologiques à fort potentiel économique (gisement d’or) ont un impact majeur sur l’économie du Québec. Parmi les modèles décrivant la formation des gisements d’or, celui de circulation d’eau chaude mobilisant et concentrant l’or demeure le plus classique. Une telle circulation d’eau dans la croûte terrestre nécessite une source […]

Today, small satellites are launched in large constellations like Starlink and Globalstar for space-based services, such as communications and weather monitoring. This rapid growth in space objects has become a real threat for space operation. In response to this issue of the growing population of space objects, Magellan is developing technologies to provide extensive and […]

Le projet consiste en une étude géologique du gisement filonien polymétallique (Ag-Zn-Pb) de Miguel Auza, situé au Mexique et détenu par Excellon Resources inc. L’objectif principal de l’étude est la construction d’un modèle expliquant la genèse du gisement. Plusieurs méthodes seront appliquées et contribueront à définir l’âge et les conditions de formation du système minéralisé. […]
