Climate change is leading to the retreat of glaciers and more extreme weather events that greatly increase landslide hazards on Canadian mountains as seen by the recent catastrophic events and fatalities in British Columbia. BC also hosts dormant volcanoes which are important areas for development of geothermal energy yet are vulnerable as they consist of […]

Archaeology is important in understanding our past cultural heritage. Traditionally, this is accomplished through the excavation of, and the analysis of artifacts discovered at archaeological sites. Excavation, however, is an inherently destructive process, as once a site is excavated, the original state is lost. This has negative impacts on both the cultural significance of the […]

Notre programme de recherche vise à bâtir un nouveau système intelligent, rapide et précis de diagnostic et de recommandation des amendements calciques pour assurer la santé, la protection et la productivité des sols et les qualités que garantissent les industriels pour une utilisation adéquate et durable des matières fertilisantes dans les différents systèmes agricoles. Le […]

The goal of this research project is to build a techno-economic map which may be used to estimate the generalized project costs and revenues associated with a geothermal energy project in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). The model will estimate practical factors such as: mobilization expenses and proximity of a potential site to existing […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à évaluer l’effet de la valorisation agricole des différents types de MRF sur l’amélioration de la santé globale des sols. En effet, l’impact de l’apport de MRF sur la régénération de la MO du sol est bien connu. Cependant, la capacité de ses produits à créer des fractions organiques stables […]

With very few of the plant species used in agriculture supplying 90% of global food production, this lack of diversity exposes vulnerability to changes in climate (Kang and Banga, 2013; Labeyrie et al, 2021). Recent recognition has been given to perennial plants for agricultural use because of their resilience to dynamic conditions and contribution to […]

The agronomy intern will be an important member of our growing agronomy AI team. Precision AI now needs more agronomy expertise to achieve our growth objectives. The intern will help us accelerate our artificial intelligence model development by applying his/her expertise to more quickly identify crop and weed plants in the images we have collected. […]

The objectives of this study are: • To assess the feasibility of using satellite remote sensing technology to measure trace gases and aerosols over northern Alberta. • To study the transport of biomass burning emissions and its impact on air quality over northern Alberta. Methodology: Data from several satellite sensors will be used in this […]

The Industrial Research Chair (IRC) in Northern Mine Remediation (NMR), hosted at Yukon University, partnered with 7 active mines and brings scientific evidence to environmental challenges the mining industry is facing is the North. Thir IRC in NMR build research projects under 3 main research trends (i) Water Treatment by Passive or Semi-Passive Technologies; (ii) […]

high cost of deep-sea petroleum exploration requires the pursuit of new technologies to ensure that Canada’s energy demands continue to be met. The Scotian Margin has proven economic grade reserves and it is certain that undiscovered deposits further lie within the extensive region. However, these sites may be in deep water settings thereby requiring the […]
