The proposed research project aims to develop a method for estimating sound speed profiles in underwater environments. By utilizing pulse-echo acoustic techniques, we can accurately determine the sound speed, which is crucial for various applications such as ocean acoustic studies. The expected benefits to our partner organization include improved underwater acoustic measurements, enhanced mapping of […]

Drilling deep holes into the earth’s crust is required to extract natural resources such as crude oil and has also been utilized in the geothermal energy industry to extract heat. Drilling these wells is carried out using long slender pipes, and due to the destructive nature of the drilling operation, these pipes undergo torsional, lateral, […]

This project aims to understand plant-pollinator relationships and species diversity in Corner Brook Pulp and Paper (Kruger) managed forests; and determine how these relationships may change under continued climate warming.

As one of the requirements of the Master’s in Gender Studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, the intern is undertaking an internship to learn the impact of women’s presence in the newsroom on the coverage of women’s financial contributions in the labour market, particularly those from the South Asian region living in NL, […]

There is a wide range of ways this project can contribute: from highlighting the lessons of history through literature review to amplifying marginalized voices in the community and investigating causes, channels, and consequences of such discrimination in accessing settlement services, to exploring the best possible anti-discrimination policies and practices, to developing a culturally and racially […]

Data Farms is a precision agriculture internet of things (IoT) company using sensors to monitor crops in real-time. We help farmers use resources more efficiently, saving fuel and fertilizer costs, and optimize indoor and greenhouse environments to improve crop yield. Custom alerts allow farmers to react fast when conditions change to avoid crop loss and […]

Chronic pain (CP) affects 1 in 5 Canadian youth and adults. It is not uncommon for individuals to wait months or years to receive the care they need. Power Over Pain (PoP) is an online portal which offers evidenced-based resources for people living with pain (PLWP), ranging from low-intensity (e.g., pain education) to high-intensity (e.g., […]

QVRRDF is installing a small vertical-axis wind turbine in Pippy Park, on the grounds of the Fluvarium. The installation of a small wind turbine for use in an urban area requires careful planning and engineering knowledge to complete successfully. The proposed project will address each of these factors by involving key stakeholders, performing a detailed […]
