Exploration of other planetary bodies poses multiple challenges. Notably, how can we obtain the most information about a planet or a moon while avoiding risky and costly crewed or robotic missions to the surface? Satellite imagery can partly solve this problematic by providing a relatively cheap alternative to cover massive areas of a planet. Sounds […]

Power Factors offre une plateforme de suivi de performance de parcs éoliens et solaire. Cette plateforme collecte les données opérationnelles des parcs, les archive, puis les traite pour transmettre des indicateurs clefs aux exploitants de ces parcs. Power Factors utilise déjà quelques modèles de détection d’anomalies à travers sa plateforme d’analytiques avancées. Ces modèles ont […]

Mining activities can lead to contaminants entering the environment. Various active technologies have been developed to prevent contaminants from entering water systems, however, these technologies are often costly in resources and labour, and incompatible with the conditions presented by cold climates. Therefore, there is a need to develop passive treatments that can operate in cold […]

This study will investigate the volcanic and structural architecture, petrography, and alteration chemistry of a portion of the Shebandowan greenstone belt in the Wawa subprovince of Northern Ontario to better constrain the gold mineralization and to develop vectors towards mineralization. The principal methods employed in this study will be fundamental geological mapping and logging, combined […]

Sequestration of atmospheric and industrial CO2 through carbonation of reactive waste minerals is a proven method for curbing emissions from the mining sector. Carbonation technologies have also been shown to be effective at reducing potentially toxic metal mobility in alkaline mine wastes. However, the molecular scale mechanisms of metal cycling associated with mineral transformation reactions […]

The growth of renewable energies on the demand side, as an important step for decarbonization and transition to the smart grid, poses serious challenges to control the system and maintain stability. Transactive energy control (TEC) is introduced as an effective approach in which distributed control methods are utilized rather than centralized ones. Although many studies […]

Plastics pollution is a global environmental hazard with a wide range of impacts on wildlife, biodiversity, food webs, ecosystem services and human wellbeing. Of particular concern are microplastics (including nanoplastics) because their small sizes enhance their long-range transport, their uptake by biota and the capacity to sorb and leach contaminants. The proposed project will focus […]

This project will help determine the history and distribution of the volcanic rocks which hose important copper, gold and critical metal deposits in the so-called “Golden Triangle” of NW British Columbia. The interns involved will apply various methods to determine the age, chemical composition and distribution of the Jurassic age volcanic rocks of the Hazelton […]

This project will explore the potential of agile geographic sensing technologies to support remote terrestrial platforms that are able to access unpaved wilderness environments. Laser scanning and photogrammetric survey systems will be tested to assess their capability to support real-time terrain navigation, spatial situational awareness,

tentree aims to create Science-Based Targets to ensure its climate-positive ambitions. With the rise of corporate sustainability, creating sustainability goals backed by science can push organizations to realize these ambitions. The research will provide foundational work for creating an impact report and sustainability agenda. The aim is to demonstrate tentree’s leadership in the sustainable apparel […]

In Canada and around the world, climate change and pollution are affecting the integrity of coastal and marine environments. These effects include the deterioration and loss of ecosystems, accelerated coastal erosion, reduced water quality, and the depletion of marine biodiversity. To reduce risks and mitigate impacts on ecosystems, stakeholders need a continually updated knowledge of […]

Le projet vise à mieux comprendre les effets d’un couvert de neige et de glace sur le fonctionnement des lacs alpins (en termes de biogéochimie). Dans ce contexte, l’étudiant réalisera un état de l’art des connaissances, deux échantillonnages de terrain avec analyses complémentaires en laboratoire. Un échantillonnage l’hiver au niveau des lacs des Chic-Chocs afin […]
