Design and implementation of a real-time communication system for Measuring While Particle Acceleration (MWPA) applications

In this project, we will devleop various demodulation and encoding techniques to enhance the performance of receiving data in the EM telemetry process. In EM Telemetry process, a ‘measuring information and data while drilling’ application, transmit and communicate wirelessly from downhole to the surface. Due to the challenge of the earth behavior, low frequency communication […]

Fibrostenotic Crohn’s disease: Regulation of Fibrosis and inflammation with Cannabigerol and other cannabinoids

The goal of the project is to determine if the cannabis-derived, non-psychoactive compound, cannabigerol (CBG) (a key component of Cannabis), which is known to reduce inflammation in a mouse model of colon inflammation, can also prevent intestinal strictures (fibrosis) and narrowing of the intestine in the setting of intestinal inflammation. We will use cell culture […]

Mobilizing Ulukhaktok Traditional Knowledge of the Dolphin and Union Caribou Herd

The Dolphin and Union caribou herd is integral to Inuit culture, subsistence and identity. Preliminary local and scientific knowledge both indicate that this caribou herd is declining and in poorer health than before. We need to bring everyone together and use everything we know about Dolphin and Union caribou, the environment and the other animals […]

Valuation of an oil processing facility

The development of Canada’s energy infrastructure requires significant investment at all levels. Energy companies considering such investments require a complete understanding of the projected value of the prospective asset, as well as the associated risks. Often, a significant portion of the value comes from the flexibility provided by the asset. This project will use option […]

Development of Remedial Action Objectives for McKay River Watershed Impacted by Open Mines and Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainages

Since the 1960s, the lands of several indigenous communities such as the Fort McKay Métis have been largely impacted by open mines and steam assisted gravity drainages (SAGDs). Such oil sands operations have disturbed large areas, changed geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, aquatic and terrestrial environment, and created a linear disturbance. This research project will map and […]
