The boreal ecosystem in the Northern Alberta is strongly segmented by linear exploration corridors for petroleum exploartion, called seismic lines. Unfortunately, many of these lines are in a state of arrested succession and are unlikely to recover without active intervention. Restoration planning for such a large affected area demands knoledge about the possibility and the […]

The boreal ecosystem in the Northern Alberta is strongly segmented by linear exploration corridors for petroleum exploartion, calles seismic lines. Unfortunately, many of these lines are in a state of arrested succession and are unlikely to recover without active intervention. An essential variable to the understanding of regeneration of forest cover is the hydrology and […]

Data visualization is an important approach to help people understand data by graphic representation of data. Along with the development of various electronic devices and sensors, big data era is coming to us. Data visualization plays an increasingly important role in this era. However, research indicated that it’s hard for non visualization experts to author […]

The influence of seismic lines and other linear features can extend well into the surrounding forest, but the magnitude of this effect and the factors controlling it are poorly understood. The disruption of hydrological process by linear features is one such ‘edge effect’ of particular interest to BERA. Previous research by Caitlin Wilier (2017) in […]

Scope of work: Develop and implement data science models to identify construction projects relevant to our clients, before they go up for bid. Apply machine learning algorithms to public and proprietary datasets to recommend contract opportunities at as early stage as possible in the building process. Develop and implement logic to be applied to this […]

This project fills a data gap by creating key research inputs in the climate policy space: an online climate policy database and stringency index. We organize and classify government actions related to climate change in Canada by key criteria of interest including economic sector, target outcome, type of initiative (pricing system, performance regulations, incentives, innovation […]

Increasing demands for electric vehicles and more portable electronics have also increased the demand for rechargeable batteries with higher energy capacity. This project aims to develop novel manufacturing methods to produce advanced rechargeable batteries in a time and cost-efficient way. In this project, the interns perform hands-on experiments to investigate the application of the novel […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen a dramatic increase in mental health issues, overdose, suicide, and violence in Indigenous communities. Numerous studies and reports call for community-driven approaches to wellness that support Indigenous communities in culturally relevant ways. Yet, many communities do not have the resources to support such approaches. In response to the literature and […]

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) Calls to Action stipulates a call for all levels of government to increase the number and retention of Indigenous people working in health care (TRC, 2015). Many organizations grapple with the retention of and encounter challenges with the retention of Indigenous staff. Indigenous staff face high rates […]

Developing high safety Li-ion battery technology is essential for high energy, and long-range applications. However, the current state-of-the-art Li-ion battery technology cannot fulfill the industry requirements due to its theoretical limitations. All solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSLiB) using inorganic solid-state Li-ion conductors, holds promising features of high energy density, and enhanced safety over conventional Li-ion batteries. […]

In about 4% of patients that have had an abdominal surgery ranging from a C-section, to appendectomy, to removal of the gall bladder, they will develop bands of scar tissue that can cause extreme pain and/or life-threatening complications such as bowel obstruction which requires emergency operation. The only temporary cure is a second operation which […]

This project aims at developing an innovative and efficient marketing strategy for acquiring customers and building a good customer relationship which would help Momentum Materials Solutions to overcome the market-entry barrier and achieve its sales goal.
