Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) are important in aquatic ecosystems as they represent hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Earth observation technologies (EOT) constitute a cost-effective monitoring tool for environmental variables at large scales but their use in freshwater environmental monitoring remains limited because of the optical complexity of inland waters. This research develops and builds […]

Inuit communities are reliant on sea ice travel to hunt and fish to get nutritious food and maintain their culture. Search and Rescue incidents are on the rise with changing sea ice conditions due to climate change. Information to support Inuit travel needs at community scales are currently limited in Inuit Nunangat (Simonee et al., […]

The management of musculoskeletal diseases is essential for reducing pain and disability, preventing disease progression, maintaining independence, and promoting mental well-being. By effectively managing these conditions and facilitating individualized therapy approaches, society as a whole will benefit from reduced healthcare costs and improved economic productivity. Early detection and proactive care are vital for the management […]

This project addresses the growing challenges associated with the increasing demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) within the context of a global shift towards sustainable energy solutions. The surge in EV adoption, while beneficial for the environment, poses challenges on the energy grid due to frequent and high-powered charging, leading to more frequent peaks and potential […]

This research project aims to address the existing knowledge gap regarding the effectiveness of drone-based reforestation compared to natural forest regeneration in post-wildfire areas. This study seeks to provide valuable insights into its benefits, limitations, and potential for large-scale reforestation efforts. The research outcomes will contribute to the scientific understanding of drone-based reforestation, guide reforestation […]

Recent findings expose the concerning sensitivity of hydrologic and geomorphic function to clearcut logging. Water quality, fish habitat, downstream infrastructure, and human lives are all suffering due to clearcut practices and climate change. This study will explore for the first time the differences between the effect of clearcut logging and more ecosystem friendly logging practices […]

Nanoparticles are objects on the scale of billionths of a meter, and their small size gives them properties that are scientifically interesting and commercially important. Vive Crop Protection has commercialized a technology in which they use a nanoparticle-enabled approach to enhance the delivery of agricultural pesticides. This project is about controlling the process of clumping […]

Au Canada, plus de 90 000 personnes sont atteintes de la sclérose en plaques. Cette maladie neurodégénérative et auto-immune, médiée par l’inflammation, touche le système nerveux central. Les lésions, principalement de la matière blanche, sont à l’origine de perturbations de la transmission de l’influx nerveux entre le système nerveux central et le reste du corps. […]

This project will help a structural engineering firm reduce unwanted cracking in newly cast concrete floor slabs. The intern will test several concrete mixes that are commonly used by the partner, including one that has cracked in real buildings and others that have performed well. In the laboratory, the intern will measure how much each […]

Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre comment différentes personnes cohabitent sur et autour des voies cyclables : cyclistes, piétons, personnes en fauteuil roulant ou utilisant une aide à la mobilité, personnes aveugles ou malvoyantes, et utilisateurs de trottinettes. Avec la popularité croissante du vélo et de la mobilité active, ces espaces deviennent des lieux où […]
