Climate change predictions make it highly likely that Pacific salmon will be exposed to future water temperature extremes. Given the importance of cold water to maintain Pacific salmon, the availability of discrete cold-water patches in rivers/streams that can act as thermal refugia may become increasingly critical to protect salmon. Such refugia can be provided by […]

ESGTree is an Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) data management platform for investors and corporations. Collecting, aggregating, and reporting ESG data is painstakingly inefficient for private capital investors. The ESGTree platform sets up individual client systems in a way that it will cater to all their investors and all the standards they need. The project ESG […]

If Canada is to achieve its 30×30 targets (protecting 30% of land and water by 2030), a combination of emissions reductions and innovative carbon sequestration solutions are needed. Further, these solutions must achieve multiple benefits for health and community resilience given that adverse health and climate change impacts are predicted to disproportionately impact vulnerable communities. […]

En 2017, le Québec a émis plus de 78 Mt éq. CO2 et le secteur industriel était responsable d’environ 30 % de ces émissions. Dans le cadre de la lutte aux changements climatiques, le présent projet propose une approche de séquestration de CO2 qui soit complètement innovante, respectueuse de l’environnement, moins coûteuse, efficace et capable […]

Le projet hydrogéologie et conservation des milieux humides est un projet de thèse visant à mieux comprendre les échanges entre les eaux souterraines et les milieux humides dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent. Souvent négligés, ces échanges, indispensables pour la pérennité des milieux humide, sont au coeur des préoccupations des spécialistes du territoire (organismes de conservation, […]

Plant microbiology has important applications in the process of industrial Cannabis sativa manufacture and distribution through its direct impact on both plant health and product quality. The research in this field has enormous potential to contribute to the quality and safety of the products, through the modulation and stabilization of plant metabolites, increase of disease […]

Changes in sea-level are attributable mainly to crustal deformation, changes in global ocean volumes (eustasy) and the response of the Earth’s crust to glaciation (isostasy). On the British Columbia coast, sea-level history is complex owing to regional differences in these factors. A geographic data gap exists in our understanding of Holocene (past 10,000 years) sea-level […]

Les coupes partielles sont parmi les solutions envisageables pour assurer la pérennité des ressources forestières. Cependant, exception faite de la masse volumique et de quelques caractéristiques macroscopiques, les connaissances essentielles sur les effets réels des coupes partielles sur la productivité forestière, la qualité du bois et sa valeur marchande sont manquantes. Le recours aux essais […]

Tidal marshes are productive and economically important, providing valuable ecosystem services including disturbance regulation, waste treatment, and the ability to sequester carbon. Sturgeon Bank is a large tidal ecosystem that had a total tidal marsh area of 543 ha at its greatest extent this century. At least 160 ha of tidal marsh at Sturgeon Bank […]

L’aménagement de larges bandes riveraines végétalisées en bord de champ est une pratique agroenvironnementale qui contribue à réduire les impacts environnementaux causés par les activités agricoles. Par contre, ce retrait de surface cultivée représente une perte de revenu pour un producteur agricole et ceci nuit à une adhésion généralisée à cette nouvelle pratique à l’échelle […]

This research will explore the connections between nature and people in Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs). These values will be articulated by identifying the ecosystem services (i.e. the goods and services provided to people by nature) and determining which of these hold significant cultural values. These values will be compared using a variety of […]
