The Tiriganiaq gold mine is the property of Agnico Eagle Mines ltd. and it represents the first active mining operation in the Meliadine district, Nunavut. This underground mine is hosted by metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Canadian shield and the geometry of the mineralized zones and related veins differ from the one of […]

It is critical that on-board power electronic components of electric vehicle inverters operate within optimal temperature ranges. Failure to accomplish this results in overheating, oversizing and degradation of electronic components. Moreover, reduced efficiency and motor drive performance will have significant economical impacts on global automakers. This research will further contribute to developing a new thermal […]

Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy storage devices that promise fast charge-discharge rate, high power density, and long cycle life. However, low energy density, high cost, and safety risk of supercapacitors are yet to be addressed in order to deploy the technology into wholesale grid storage. This research project will design low-cost and high-performance electrode and electrolyte […]

GHGSat has built the first and only satellite that makes measurements of greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations at high . spatial resolution (< 50 m). Currently, the GHGSat data processing algorithm only retrieves GHG information from our atmospheric measurement data. However, the atmosphere also contains aerosols that complicate the accurate retrieval GHG concentrations. Developing an appropriate […]

Le «?bijuridisme?» est l’une des particularités du Canada. Il s’agit de la coexistence de deux régimes juridiques fondamentalement différents : la common law et le droit civil. Pour des entreprises et des particuliers qui possèdent des biens dans plus d’une province ou encore travaillent dans plus d’une province, ce bijuridisme peut causer des maux de […]

This research focuses on the trade of Canadian wild foods, such as morel mushrooms, wild blueberries and fiddleheads. The major operational challenge in the sector is connecting remote, rural contexts of production with global, urban centres of consumption. A distributor’s competitive advantage rests on constant innovation of the informational, social and pricing techniques that motivate […]

Financial fraud is a serious issue that is taking place globally and causing considerable damage at great expense. Statistical analysis and machine learning tools can help financial institutions detect different types of fraud. In some cases however, mislabeling and the cost of classification may actually increase the volume of ‘false positives’ for supervised methods. As […]

Firefighting water additives are a mixture of chemicals that are mixed with water to more effectively extinguish fires (i.e., residential, industrial, forest fires). The use of these additives is likely to increase in fighting forest fires due to the projected increase in forest fire occurrence and intensity due to climate change. Ingredients of firefighting water […]

Les résidus de la Mine Raglan contiennent des minéraux pouvant réagir avec l’eau et l’air et potentiellement produire un drainage acide et riche en métaux s’ils ne sont pas gérés d’une manière optimale. Des essais au laboratoire ont permis de déterminer la qualité d’eau qu’ils produisent et leur comportement géochimique. La présente étude vise à […]

The greatest river in Calgary, Bow River, is an important source of water for industrial, agricultural and living activities for city and people of Calgary. With the incredibly fast of urbanization in Calgary, the natural landscapes are gradually replaced by impervious areas, such as urban streetscapes, houses and buildings. While the amount of water that […]

We will develop advanced software toolkits for seismic inversion and imaging. These method are called Full Waveform Inversion and Reverse Time Migration (FWIIRTM). The FWIIRTM will be used to obtain accurate 30 images and elastic properties of subsurface complex structures.

The species of European hawkweeds present in British Columbia are aggressive and ecologically detrimental invaders of meadows, parks, agricultural lands and rangelands. Left unmanaged, these species could cost the province of British Columbia upwards of $60 million in economic losses by 2020. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MoFLNRO) is responsible for […]
