This study will assess the behaviour, physiology, reproduction and survival of individual birds breeding on reclaimed mine tailings and waste rock, and will provide a robust measure of the effectiveness of reclamation efforts on the Highland Valley Copper operating area. By examining a range of life-history traits in two ecologically distinct species, and comparing birds […]

This project aims to develop a user-friendly visualization system for Thrive Health, a digital health solutions company. The visualization interface will be designed to effectively present a person’s health journey. This will be particularly helpful for patients with complex health conditions, as it will enable them to communicate their situation more clearly to their healthcare […]

To optimize the environmental and financial benefits of FOWTs coupled with electrochemical energy storage improved predictive modeling capabilities are needed. The partner organization, Angler Solutions Inc., is addressing this obstacle by developing a new modelling software approach that can provide accurate techno-economic assessments and predictions for FOWT with energy storage. The partnership proposed in this […]

Humpback whales are filter feeders that can engulf massive quantities of prey. However, because of their indiscriminate feeding strategies, humpback whales often ingest more than their intended prey alone. Alongside fish and zooplankton, microplastics are likely becoming a frequent menu item for humpback whales foraging along the coastlines of BC. Microplastics are a concerning environmental […]

The objective of the project is to test and optimize a novel stationary bed filter for removing fine waste solids from the water of recirculating aquaculture systems. The filter uses plastic media to intercept the waste solids. Beta prototypes of the filter have been installed at four hatcheries owned by Cooke Aquaculture Inc. in the […]

This project aims to edit and publish a work authored by Elizabeth English entitled Arkhitektura and Mnimosti (the Imaginary) : The Origins of Soviet Avant-Garde Rationalist Architecture in the Russian Mystical-Philosophical and Mathematical Intellectual Tradition. . The project will study a series of architects and support understanding of the revolutionary physical, intellectual, and cultural Russian […]

This research is to develop a gallium nitride-based transistor used in high-power applications such as in electric vehicles and in solar power grids. Current gallium nitride transistors break down around 600-800 V. We propose to develop a technology that enable them to have more than 1200 V breakdown voltages. We also keep the balance between […]

In today’s world it is important to make data-driven decisions. However, as the data volume increases and as it evolves continuously and dynamically, in other words as we get more and more streaming data, it becomes more challenging to use such data for decision making and support. Thus in this research, we aim to develop […]

Pipelines carry important resources like oil and gas across long distances. These pipelines sometimes cross areas with natural dangers like landslides which can stress or damage them. This study aims to create computer models to understand how pipelines react to these dangers using different approaches. Different types of pipelines and the ways they interact with […]

The research project is about teaching robots to build things on their own. We’re going to use artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to make them understand how to put together things, like furniture, without needing lots of human help. We’ll make them practice in a simulation first, so they get really good at the assembly task. […]

Depuis 2006, le gouvernement du Québec a réorienté sa politique minière pour promouvoir l’exploration de l’uranium dans le nord québécois. Cependant, les manifestations par des groupes sociaux se sont multipliées résultant ainsi en divers blocages de projets d’exploration de l’uranium (Sept-Îles). La demande d’un moratoire sur l’exploitation de l’uranium au Québec a été signée par […]

L’industrie numérique est responsable de 4% de l’empreinte carbone planétaire annuelle. Ecoist Club est une entreprise qui cherche à réduire les impacts environnementaux du numérique. En réunissant des experts en numérique durable, Ecoist Club développe des outils pour apprendre (services-conseils), mesurer (calculateur GES) et agir (planification stratégique). En 2022, Ecoist Club a créé le premier […]
