L’accès à du répit pour les personnes proches aidantes (PPA) est difficile puisqu’elles font face à diverses problématiques (liste d’attente, horaire peu flexible, distance géographique, etc.). L’organisation Entraidant veut offrir un service de répit atypique (qui n’a pas lieu sur une base régulière, en semaine) aux PPA à l’aide d’une plateforme informatique qui facilitera le […]

Canada has committed to supporting and expanding Indigenous led conservation as a strategy to work towards nation-to-nation reconciliation and meet international biodiversity goals, including conserving thirty percent of Canada’s land and water by the year 2030. Indigenous led conservation upholds and respects Indigenous knowledge systems, laws, governance, rights, and responsibilities. This Mitacs project will support […]

The proposed research explores how a virtual reality (VR) driving simulation can assess drivers’ ability to perceive hazards and how accurately it reflects their real-world driving experience. Participants from UBC will engage in a lab-based VR simulation where they will navigate various driving scenarios with the goal of identifying potential road hazards. Their performance will […]

This research project is focused on grizzly bear populations in southern British Columbia at the extent of their species range. While population recovery has occurred in parts of the ragnge, some popualtions continue to deline and large areas remain extirpated. Where the degree of population fragmentation is known this project will focus on analyzing how […]

The societal ecological transition required to address climate change must occur rapidly, to save as much as we can of the planet’s ecosystem. To do that, long-term moralization processes need to be complemented with short-term behavioral change interventions. A key component of successful behavioral change, whether in the short or long run, is understanding the […]

The device will be able to take magnified images of skin in order to observe more detailed skin conditions. A low cost version of the device will be able to attach to a smartphone and use the built-in […]

This research project aims to explore new ways to remove harmful chemicals, known as PFAS, from landfill leachate using natural substances called extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and commercial surfactants. PFAS are difficult to eliminate and pose health risks; nevertheless, existing remediation approaches are costly and entail environmental complications. By testing EPS and surfactants as potential […]

Le projet Art-IA, mené par la Société des Arts et Technologies (SAT), MUTEK, Sporobole et le Metacreation Lab, explore les imaginaires liés à l’intelligence artificielle (IA) dans la création numérique. L’objectif est de créer une plateforme d’échange entre différents projets artistiques numériques pour répondre aux besoins des créateurs et ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de recherche […]

This project aims to improve how lake ice is monitored in Canada by combining images from optical and RADARSAT-2 satellites with advanced data analysis techniques. Monitoring lake ice is important because it reflects climate changes, which affect both local and global environments. The partner company, ApoSys, specializes in using satellite technology for environmental monitoring, but […]

This research estimates the employment impacts of a new mine proposed for northern Saskatchewan. We estimate the direct, indirect, and induced employment effects of the proposed mine. Using publically available data, the research shows how a direct investment in a mine creates jobs all along its supply chain. This indirect employment is expected to be […]
