The current research project aims to assess the PLNG storage condition for obtaining higher methane density. The liquified natural gas/methane is supposed to be shipped into the PLNG terminals. The PLNG market demands high methane density with a trace ethane. To make this happen, the solvent (e.g., C5, C6, and C7) are added to the […]

In this project our goal is to facilitate the 3D reconstruction of assets that are found in the ocean bed for the purpose of monitoring the state of the asset, especially to assess whether there is corrosion or cracks in the equipment. Through the use of high-quality subsea imaging, we can obtain images of assets […]

This study aims to improve process efficiencies while supporting the development of products that best respond to market trends in the context of a post COVID-19 globalized market. From a process engineering perspective, the proposed activities seek to improve mill competitiveness through waste management to both reduce load on water treatment systems and obtain value […]

Despite protection measures, the Golden cod sub-population in the Gilbert Bay Marine Protected Area is experiencing steep decline. Given the regulatory complexity and reluctance of industry to consider a split or delayed season for surrounding fisheries, partners aim to create an alternative solution to balance economic fishing interests with conservation objectives. The goal of this […]

The effect of a collapse in oil prices coupled with a province-wide lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak will have a significant impact on the economic future of NL. A spiking unemployment rate due to job losses in the services and tourism sector will be difficult to mitigate in the short to medium-term; if not […]

This research aims at study antioxidant properties of berry plant species native to Newfoundland and Labrador. Antioxidants are compounds which are required to alleviate the harmful effects of free radicals. If the level of free radicals is high in body, they can damage proteins, lipids, DNA, and other biochemicals in our body. Skin is prone […]

The main goal of this research project is to develop a sustainable fruit and vegetable production system for households and small communities through design, fabrication and evaluation a small scale and low cost vertical garden hydroponic system. One of the major agricultural challenges faced by Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) is the lack of locally produced […]

The response to COVID-19 and stay-at-home orders have led to skyrocketing unemployment and various economic impacts. Entrepreneurs are coping up with challenges and conflicts that require solutions to sustain rural communities. With researchers based in Grenfell Campus, Memorial University (MUN) of Newfoundland in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), this study will focus on how enterprise hubs […]

The Healthcare Foundation plays an active role in improving patient experiences across Newfoundland and Labrador. The significant findings from research funded by the Healthcare Foundation helps improve the way we diagnose and treat our population. After a grant is received a board member from the foundation is updated on the findings of the research, who […]

Contagious diseases, such as SARS and COVID-19, bring a large amount of damage to human’s life and world economy. Pathogens spread among individuals through the contact network. It is observed that most social networks show a power-law degree distribution, implying that hubs exist in these networks. Finding underlying super-spreaders (hubs) and isolating or immunizing them […]

Healthcare innovation is a major focus across Canada and the globe. It can be defined as, “activities that generate value in terms of quality and safety of care, administrative efficiency, the patient experience, and patient outcomes. Efforts are underway to transform health care by leveraging technology and data so that Canadian provinces and territories promote […]
