Evaluating the reliability of citizen science SCUBA surveys for long term monitoring of Pacific Rockfish (Sebastes spp.)

The Galiano Conservation Association aims to educate the public about Rockfish Conservation areas, and monitor fisher compliance and rockfish populations, to enhance rockfish recovery around Galiano Island. Rockfish are a threatened and overfished group of fishes native to BC’s coast. Given that the underwater realm is toxic to humans, subtidal monitoring data is limited. However […]

Development Of A Machine Condition Monitoring Platform Using A Wireless Sensor Network

Machine maintenance is a necessary task to keep production lines or individual machines running in a healthy condition. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) can effectively reduce maintenance cost and machine down time. However, it requires online machine condition monitoring systems to obtain the relevant parameters of the machines. Conventional distributed-control-system (DCS) -based monitoring systems use wires/cables to […]

Proof of Principle Application for Biosensors in Animal Models

NXTSens has developed an implantable continuous monitoring, stand-alone and potentially mass-producible microsensor for accurate monitoring of tissue pressure and temperature in damaged limb muscles to better diagnose ACS. The proposed research will involve several sub-projects that include: i) develop appropriate surgical models for the accurate and reproducible placement of the microsensors in rodent compartments; ii) […]

Community dynamics in restored salt marshes

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems because they provide many services to surrounding areas. Due to the high fertility of salt marsh soil, they have a long history of being converted to farmland in Maritime Canada. In recent years, there has been growing interest in restoring salt marshes to protect against coastal erosion, mitigate sea […]

Environmental productivity patterns of the Salish Sea

Pacific salmon are important from ecological, economic, social and cultural perspectives, but many species in the Salish Sea have seen drastic decrease in marine survival rate in recent decades, likely linked to reduced survival of the young stages of salmon due to a combination of environmental, food web changes, and human impacts. This activity will […]
