The primary goals of our project are to fill critical knowledge gaps directly identified in the Federal Recovery Strategy for the Eastern Whip-poor-will regarding habitat use, prey availability, migratory paths and strategies, and overwintering sites in Southern Ontario, and to inform landowners about the presence of Eastern Whip-poor-will on their properties to support on-the-ground stewardship […]

Air pollution is composed of gases and Particulate Matter. Wood Smoke (WS) and Traffic-Related Air Pollution (TRAP) are the two most common sources of air pollution. Air pollutants arising from WS and TRAP differ chemically. Additionally, they undergo chemical changes due to atmospheric processes, such as photochemical aging. The role of the chemical composition of […]

De la colonisation du nord de l’Abitibi pendant la crise des années 1930, à la fondation de camps de prospecteurs dans un des derniers Klondike, jusqu’à la création de villes de compagnies modèles, l’histoire de la Baie-James est à l’image de son territoire : diversifié. L’histoire de cette région-ressource aussi grande que l’Allemagne a principalement […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

The research projects will range from practical curricula development using Indigenous linguistic strategies to advanced machine learning experimentation. The goal of the intern research projects will be to advance ML science for the benefit of Indigenous communities.

The project will investigate a novel HVdc transmission arrangement referred to as a “symmetrical monopole”. This configuration has the ability to continue operation even when one of the transmission line conductors is faulted. This property allows for the use of new compact dc transmission lines which occupy only a fraction of the right-of-way of other […]

The intern will lead the development of three research briefs based on findings from the 2023 Kindergarten Parent Survey, a unique research instrument designed by a collaborative of Halton researchers. The survey provides a snapshot of the wellbeing of Halton kindergarten preschool children and their families on multiple domains, including healthy development, physical activity, nutrition, […]

Light Rail Transit (LRT) is a vital mode of public transportation that allows efficient movement of people and goods throughout Canada, and especially in major cities. Contrary to highway and traditional rail bridges, LRT bridge design issues have received little attention, although most of the major Canadian cities have LRT systems. Currently there exists no […]

The overall objective of the proposed initiative is to develop a novel, automated and integrated field operation and berry harvesting system that will identify the root causes of increased loses; increase berry picking efficiency and product quality. Currently, there are 15 to 25% fruit yield losses during the harvesting with the existing commercial blueberry harvester. […]

ExoFlex est un projet d’équipe qui a vu le jour dans le cadre d’un cours à l’université. L’un des membres de l’équipe est atteint d’une maladie neuromusculaire provoquant une grande rigidité dans les tendons. C’est pourquoi ExoFlex s’est donné la mission de créer un appareil motorisé d’aide à l’étirement du mollet, conférant autonomie et bien-être […]

Les étudiants sont à risques de problèmes de santé mentale et les universités canadiennes auraient de la difficulté à y répondre1. La pair-aidance est une approche prometteuse, car les étudiants semblent avoir plus tendance à se confier à leurs pairs3-4. L’entretien motivationnel (EM) est un type de relation d’aide favorisant le changement d’habitudes de vie5. […]

This project will draw on academic research, community engaged research and precedent studies to formulate community and public-facing research outputs that envision models and frameworks for the evolution of community land trusts (CLT) in Ottawa. The project will output maps, visualizations, and stories that synthesise Ottawa’s housing needs and the potentials of CLTs. It will […]
