Multi-Use Transit Corridors

This project, in partnership with the City of Saskatoon, will develop the parameters for Active Transit corridors. While the long term goal is for multiple corridors, this initial exploration and research will focus on the College Corridor adjacent to the University of Saskatchewan Campus and one that has a great deal of daily traffic. This […]

Characterization of high-amylose durum wheat starch and flour to promote industrial applications

This project aims to investigate the structural features, functional properties, and nutritional quality of durum wheat flours and respective isolated starches of five different lines varying in amylose contents. Flours of two selected durum wheat lines (one normal and one high-amylose) will also be used to produce high-quality and nutritious pasta products and evaluated to […]

The effect of bovine colostrum supplementation on fitness, muscle mass, inflammation and immune function during intense training in rugby players

Bovine colostrum is the milk produced by cows immediately after calving. It contains high levels of proteins that improve immune protection and may act to prevent colds. During intense training, athletes often have compromised immune function. This may be especially true in club-level rugby players who abruptly start high intensity training in the spring in […]

Leading Treaty Implementation: A Gendered Analysis of Progress and Challenges in Promoting Treaties

This research project will examine the challenges that prevent the proper implementation and awareness of treaties, made between the Canadian government and First Nations in Saskatchewan. We will analyze these barriers from different angles, including the role of organizational and social frameworks, and women’s leadership in Indigenous community organizations. Using feminist and decolonial perspectives, we […]

Feasibility of Hybrid Ground-Source Heat Pumps for Sustainable Heating in Cold Climates

Using fossil fuels in building heating systems is greenhouse gas (GHG) intensive, leading to global warming. Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are cleaner electric alternatives to fossil fuel systems. They utilize and transport heat from the ground to warm buildings. However, prolonged use of GSHPs can lead to a phenomenon known as thermal imbalance, which depletes […]

Characterization of legacy and expected future mine rock at the Grassy Mountain Project site using traditional and advanced kinetic testing

Mining operations generate large amounts of unused geomaterials (e.g., mine rock) that are generally stored on site in mine rock storage facilities (MRSFs). When mine rock is exposed to atmospheric conditions (i.e., atmospheric oxygen as air and water) sulfide minerals oxidize and produce acid rock drainage (ARD). The acidic effluent can subsequently leach metal ions […]

Physicochemical transformation in Mars analogue materials

Instruments onboard the NASA Curiosity rover have revealed that organic matter (OM) is present on Mars; these chlorohydrocarbons are thought to originate from a reaction of OM with Martian perchlorates. We hypothesise the reaction may occur in the Mars near-surface, induced by the harsh radiative environment. Our team is thus investigating the influence of radiation […]
