All new infrastructure and natural resource projects being developed in Canada are required to undergo an Environmental Assessment. A key aspect of this regulatory process is the need to demonstrate that the activity will not adversely affect human or ecosystem health. It is through the science of human health and ecological risk assessment (HHERA) that […]

This project will address questions about the variable marine survival of different Skeena river sockeye stocks. Zooplankton sampling will be conducted along the smolt outmigration route to determine the timing of peak abundance of important sockeye prey items. The scale characteristics of a number of different Skeena sockeye stocks across different years will be compared […]

Demand for metals, including gold, is ever increasing particularly as modern technologies, including sustainable energy production, rely on such finite resources. As easily accessible surficial deposits in traditional mining areas such as the Sixtymile gold district, YK, deplete ever more advanced approaches to exploration are required that search deeper in the ‘bedrock’. However, exploration for […]

Le mont Covey Hill au Québec recense plusieurs espèces de salamandres rares et menacées. Ces amphibiens vivent dans les sols et dans l’eau pour une partie ou la totalité de leur cycle de vie, et sont donc susceptibles d’être affectés par la présence de pesticides. Le mont Covey Hill regroupe de nombreux producteurs agricoles, parmi […]

Canada’s Arctic includes the world’s longest Arctic coastline, and is experiencing the direct effects of rapid climate change, including rapid erosion in some areas, changes to stream inflows and a warming ocean with less sea ice. A longer ice free season also means more shipping activity which can also threaten coastal species and the communities […]

Most Canadians live in the urban regions, and most Canadian cities receive snow every year. For instance, Montreal receives about 2.3 meter of snow every year. This snow accommodates various human-made pollutants in cities and accumulates over long Canadian winter. This application to support an intern which will be involved in a collaborative project with […]

Croplands are labeled as “climate change mitigators” given their ability to trap carbon dioxide (CO2) as soil organic matter (SOM). SOM is a complex mixture of compounds, primarily carbon (C), derived from plant litter’s decomposition. Healthy soils are now part of “verified C markets”, which are corporate programs in which enrolled farmers receive money for […]

Bien qu’elle soit la source d’une part importante des approvisionnements aux usines de transformation, la production de bois en provenance des forêts privées du Québec demeure nettement inférieure à la possibilité forestière. Des enquêtes menées auprès des propriétaires nous ont permis de documenter certains facteurs socio-démographiques reliés à l’engagement des propriétaires envers l’aménagement forestier. Dans […]

Because of the renewed interest in building health due to COVID-19, there has been a surge in demand for building audits – particularly around air quality testing. This position is created to focus predominantly on expanding ioAirFlow’s analysis capacity into air quality testing, while continuing to build on the company’s existing indoor environmental quality analysis […]

The position of a Meteorological assistant will be worked at Weatherlogics during the 2021 summer. The beginning of the internship will include being brought up to speed on Weatherlogics tools and procedures for creating their various products. Most notably including agriculture forecasts and reports, severe weather outlooks, and weather model enhancements. Next the specific project […]

After 17 months of closure due to flooding and washouts, Arctic Gateway Group (AGG) took over operation of Hudson Bay Railroad (HBR) in September 2018 and reopened 29 washouts in 54 days. Servicing northern First Nations communities and the Port of Churchill, one of the most important aspects of the HBR is safety. As a […]
