The goal of the project is to assess the biodiversity of a unique set of glacially derived kettle lakes on the Glencore property in Sudbury and to return to a remote set of lakes in Killarney Wilderness Park that were once impacted from smelter air emissions. Now 25 years later and following 98% reduction in […]

The MSc student will determine the factors determining the distribution of gold at the Ormaque gold project, near Val d’Or Quebec. This will be accomplished by examination of drill core, and mapping of underground exposure when available, at the Ormaque site during two summer field seasons. Samples collected in the field will be returned to […]

Fatigue has been acknowledged as a priority issue in human factors contributing to injury in most industries. Of significant concern are drivers operating haulage equipment in the mining industry, who are exposed to monotonous working conditions. This risk exposure might be mitigated if fatigue can be detected and managed. Recent advancements in wearable technologies proport […]

While promoting the destruction of the majority of tumour cells, chemotherapy treatment in cancer patients also permits chemo-resistant, senescent tumour cells to survive. Such senescent cells can live off dead tumour cells during and after chemotherapy. They can then form new tumours, resulting in disease progression. We have recently observed that chemotherapy treatment also induces […]

Les amphibiens sont la classe animale la plus en danger d’extinction, notamment à cause de maladies émergentes qui se propagent sur tous les continents, en partie à cause du commerce exotique des espèces. Il semble cependant que les bactéries vivant à la surface de leur peau (le microbiome cutané) leur confèrent une certaine résistance face […]

The intern will determine which factors determine the distribtuion of gold at the Magino gold project, near Wawa Ontario. This will be accomplished by geologic mapping and examination of drill core at the Magino site during two summer field seasons. Samples and data collected in the filed will be returned to Laureitan University and examined […]

This project is an undertaking in coordination with Minerva Canada, some of its industry partners and eight Canadian universities which aims to address a gap between industry and the graduates of engineering programs in terms of attitudes, knowledge and applied skills pertaining to health & safety in engineering practice. Upon completion, the project’s end product […]

Stroke is the number one cause of adult disability in the world. Due to the neurological damage from stroke, a vast majority of individuals suffer from hand function disability (~70%). To improve hand function and overcome challenges from this disability, IRegained has developed the MyHandTM system, a connected mechatronic device with programmed proprietary hand function […]

The removal and movement of water is an essential activity for the safe and productive operation of mines. In the mining industry pumps are often required to operate several km underground. If a pump were to fail in such a location, the results can be costly and potentially unsafe. It can be exceedingly difficult to […]

Recent years have seen many advances in the application of artificial intelligence tools in almost every industry, and the mining industry is no different. HLS Hard-Line Solutions Inc. is a leading developer and manufacturer of systems that allow mining equipment (such as trucks) to be controlled by operators, safely and comfortably from great distances, including […]
