L’exploitation des sites miniers nécessite une importante consommation d’eau. En cas de rejet en milieu naturel, les contaminants (dans le cas présent, l’azote ammoniacal, mais aussi les nitrites et nitrates) présents peuvent avoir des impacts sur l’environnement. La mise en place d’une filière de traitement est alors nécessaire. Celle-ci doit permettre de répondre aux normes […]

Les CubeSats sont des satellites de petite taille qui requièrent des antennes occupant un très faible volume au lancement. Les antennes paraboliques typiquement utilisées sur de plus gros satellites ne sont pas une option dans ce cas étant donné leur réflecteur courbé et volumineux. Les antennes réseau-réflecteur (ARR) se sont positionnées ces dernières années comme […]

The project conducts a research to explore and investigate ways in developing a farm management tool that will assist farmers to have instant and secure access to information, and have the ability to update those information. Information updated on a device outside the coverage of wireless connection will be updated and synchronized when the device […]

Investors always face the dilemma of risk and return: risky investments offer better returns on average, but also dismal returns once in a while. Goal-based Wealth management is a rather natural way of communicating the “risk vs return” to an investor. Essentially, he or she is asked to define a financial goal over a time […]

Over 400,000 culvert stream crossings are present in British Columbia, with many acting as barriers to fish passage. The frequency of culverts on the landscape has made them the leading cause of linear stream habitat fragmentation for salmonids and a restoration priority. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the British Columbia Fish Passage Technical Working Group […]

There is an increase in reporting of angling activities linked to environmental pollution and exploitation. Soft plastic lures (SPLs) are a major pollution source arising from recreational angling. A small portion of SPLs currently commercially available are designed to be more environmentally friendly alternatives to PVC as they are biodegradable and are manufactured using natural […]

The purpose of this project is to study the behaviour of western painted turtles during the nesting season. These species are currently in decline in British Columbia due to urbanization and a loss of nesting habitat. In recent years, the construction of man-made nesting beaches has been widely used in an effort to help this […]

Les résidus de bauxite sont des déchets générés en grande quantité lors de la production d’aluminium. Ils sont souvent déposés dans des bassins de sédimentation engendrant ainsi de sérieux impacts environnementaux et économiques. L’utilisation de ces déchets pas ou peu valorisés pour l’élaboration des produits à haute valeur ajoutée est encouragé par l’entreprise Rio Tinto […]

Cannabinoid uniformity is paramount to cannabis product quality and marketability. The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate two overhead lighting strategies to maximize yield and THC content in cannabis plants. The experiment will be replicated three times. This study will benefit the partner organization by determining which lighting strategy is superior for […]

Southern mountain caribou inhabit high elevation forests and parkland in late winter when snow depth facilitates access to arboreal lichens, their preferred winter food source. Use of these habitats coincides with human recreational use of these same areas by helicopter skiing, commercial backcountry skiing and snowmobiling (backcountry recreation). The COVID-19 related travel restrictions implemented in […]
