Subsurface dewatering is critical to the safe and economic operation of mines. Operational planning for dewatering often necessitates advanced numerical models for accurate prediction and requires a well-defined understanding of the regional geology, hydrology and hydrogeology, and how this influences infiltration of groundwater into mining pits and underground galleries as well as sources of recharge. […]

La forêt boréale joue un rôle crucial dans le cycle du carbone, mais les interactions entre le climat et la végétation au sein de cet écosystème sont peu comprises. De plus, les stratégies hydrauliques des arbres et leur réponse au stress hydrique ne sont pas bien connues, même si elles pourraient fournir de l’information pour […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Humber River watershed is a mixed urban, rural watershed within the Greater Toronto Area and a designated Canadian Heritage River. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), in partnership with relevant municipalities, is developing a watershed plan to determine existing conditions and identify measures to protect, enhance, and restore watershed conditions. Water quality is […]

Green stormwater infrastructure (GI) is an approach to land development that attempts to retain and clean stormwater as close to the source as possible to reduce flooding and improve the water quality of urbanized watersheds. The objective of this study is to provide a field-based evaluation of how GI reduces peak flow and improves the […]

The Archaic Period (8,000 BC to 1,000 BC) is the longest occupation of the Niagara Peninsula in southern Ontario, but the least understood and studied. Approximately 1,000 previously unknown archaeological and extraction sites have been identified in this region, mainly in Haldimand and Norfolk Counties. The proposed research project will use a combination of analytical […]

The Government of Canada considers lithium as a critical element because it is a major component of rechargable batteries in, for example, electric vehicles, but it is also used in lubricants, ceramics, and glasses. The Tanco mine in Manitoba supplies approximately 5% of the world’s lithium, but little is known about the distribution of lithium […]

The Niagara Escarpment is a dominant landform in southern Ontario and provides the region with exceptional sites of natural beauty including numerous waterfalls and exposed rocky cliffs. However, the escarpment is also a geomorphic feature formed by ongoing erosion processes that create many challenges for those living near or enjoying its natural beauty. Unfortunately, there […]

The proposed research project leverages novel 2018-22 data, generated using the GEDI LiDAR sensor aboard the International Space Station. This data is used to advance the science of quantifying forest biomass and carbon storage, to create estimates that coincide with natural asset management decisions.

The Island Gold mine, owned by Alamos Gold Inc., operates on one of the highest-grade gold deposits in Canada. Many gold deposits, including the Island Gold mine, follow east-west-trending structures, but the northwest-trending Maskinonge Lake Fault, located east of the mine, is uniquely enriched with gold and therefore contradicts this model. The objective of this […]

Afin de limiter la dégradation des sols, fortement accélérée par les activités humaines, T2 Environnement, une entreprise de services et conseils en environnement, souhaiterait poursuivre ses efforts en recherche et développement dans ce domaine afin de générer et proposer des solutions innovantes pour ses clients dans le respect de l’environnement. Ainsi, ce projet a pour […]

L’électrofracturation à haute puissance pulsée (HPP) est une technologie permettant de fragmenter des substances rocheuses dans l’eau sous l’effet d’une série d’impulsions électriques de haute puissance. C’est une méthode innovante et non polluante en comparaison aux méthodes de broyage et concassage traditionnelles. L’objectif du projet est de comprendre les mécanismes et interactions des différents paramètres […]
