Du fait des changements environnementaux en cours, il est nécessaire de faire évoluer les pratiques agricoles pour qu’elles soient plus respectueuses de l’environnement. Pour avoir une agriculture plus durable et tout autant productive, il est essentiel d’accompagner les agriculteurs dans cette transition, notamment en développant de nouveaux outils. Le but de ce projet est de […]

Greenstone belts are hosts to several types of mineral deposits worldwide, but such belts in Canada’s remote Arctic remain underexplored. Here we focus on greenstone belts of the ~2.7 billion-year-old Mary River Group, namely those exposed at Eqe Bay, northern Baffin Island, representing the best-preserved portion of the Group. A stratigraphically lower package of volcanic/sedimentary […]

The Cascadia subduction zone, which extends along a significant portion of western North America from northern California to southern British Columbia, has the potential to produce large devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. Therefore, better understanding the complex structure of the Cascadia subduction zone is paramount to accurately assessing the seismic and tsunamigenic hazard it poses to […]

Le Québec est un important producteur d’or. Cette situation enviable provient en grande partie de la fertilité des roches. Néanmoins l’expertise, tant au niveau de l’exploration aurifère que de la mise en valeur, est un facteur déterminant pour cette production. Un élément fondamental, qui guide l’exploration vers des découvertes et une production éventuelle, réside dans […]

The Tiriganiaq gold mine is the property of Agnico Eagle Mines ltd. and it represents the first active mining operation in the Meliadine district, Nunavut. This underground mine is hosted by metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Canadian shield and the geometry of the mineralized zones and related veins differ from the one of […]

GHGSat has built the first and only satellite that makes measurements of greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations at high . spatial resolution (< 50 m). Currently, the GHGSat data processing algorithm only retrieves GHG information from our atmospheric measurement data. However, the atmosphere also contains aerosols that complicate the accurate retrieval GHG concentrations. Developing an appropriate […]

Il existe actuellement très peu de données sur le dauphin de Peale qui permettent aux autorités gouvernementales de prendre des décisions éclairées en termes de conservation. Le projet de recherche tente de développer un répertoire photographique du dauphin de Peale que l’on retrouve au sud du Chili, en Patagonie. Le but est d’identifier les individus […]

We will develop advanced software toolkits for seismic inversion and imaging. These method are called Full Waveform Inversion and Reverse Time Migration (FWIIRTM). The FWIIRTM will be used to obtain accurate 30 images and elastic properties of subsurface complex structures.

The species of European hawkweeds present in British Columbia are aggressive and ecologically detrimental invaders of meadows, parks, agricultural lands and rangelands. Left unmanaged, these species could cost the province of British Columbia upwards of $60 million in economic losses by 2020. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MoFLNRO) is responsible for […]

Improving the design and operation of open pit mines by better understanding and modeling of spatial variation of rock mass properties, can bring economic benefits to the mining industry. The proposed research project aims to develop an innovative large-scale discrete fracture network (DFN) model that is spatially constrained based on the recorded fracture data from […]

L’industrie minie?re est une importante source d’emplois et ge?ne?re de conside?rables retombe?es e?conomiques, contribuant de manie?re significative a? l’e?conomie du Que?bec a? l’e?chelle mondiale. Son de?veloppement peut modifier radicalement les e?cosyste?mes et les paysages. La durabilite? du secteur minier que?be?cois doit entre autres viser la restauration des biens et services e?cosyste?miques apre?s l’exploitation minie?re. En […]

Invasive species represent a major threat to global biodiversity, and are projected to increase in impact as globalization promotes the continued introduction of novel species. Proactive research that investigates the ecological, social, and economic threat of novel species prior to or early in their establishment is therefore critical to effective conservation planning. For our research […]
