Le projet proposé vise à développer un outil simple et efficace pour le suivi des stocks de carbone du sol à l’échelle du champ grâce à de capteurs hyperspectraux (imageurs ou non) positionnés sur de la machinerie agricole. Cette technologie permettrait d’obtenir des données (images ou nuages de points) du sol malgré la canopée de […]

This project supports comprehensive investigation of arsenic contamination in the aquatic ecosystems in Canada. The project aims to provide a framework/guideline to predict probability arsenic contamination in different area. This will be through appling AI and ML modelling approaches by considering geo-environment and hydrochemical predictor variables. The MITACS support will be used to hire a […]

In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada declared 1700 km2 as Aboriginal Title Land to the Tsilhqot’in Nation. The Title Lands are set within the Caretaker Area of Xeni Gwet’in First Nation (XGFN)- one of six Tsilhqot’in communities. The Tsilhqot’in decision has created a range of immediate management and planning needs, and new opportunities for […]

The human body is a highly complicated set of structures, which are connected and move in very complex ways. Understanding the how our body is connected and moves during different daily tasks is challenging for most people; particularly for tasks that are often taking for granted, like eating and drinking. This project will develop and […]

Developing new high performance steels using pilot scale facilities such as those available at CanmetMATERIALS laboratory in Hamilton is more efficient and cost effective than using industrial lines. However, some recent projects carried out for Stelco Inc revealed unexpected discrepancies between pilot scale results and real industrial data. The aim of this project is to […]

OneCup uses Computer Vision to uniquely identify livestock and wildlife from almost any angle, effectively Face ID for animals, called 360 Live ID. We then track health, growth, activity, nutrition, and phenotypes with the ID. It is a revolutionary idea that will disrupt the agricultural industry. We call our AI for cattle BETSY, or Bovine […]

There are zones of contaminated sediment along the Cornwall waterfront in the St. Lawrence River that were identified in the Cornwall Sediment Strategy (CSS). In addition to the existing contaminated sediments accumulated over time in the river bed, there are contaminated sediments that enter the river from other sources such as wastewater sewer systems. It […]

Water infrastructure and supply service in Canadian small, remote Indigenous (SRI) communities are facing various challenges, including long-term water quality advisories. A water infrastructure risk assessment system is much needed to help identify critical nodes that are prone to cause failure in the entire water supply service chain, ranging from pre-project planning to water service […]

This research is designed to advance understandings and monitoring of the recreational and Indigenous food salmon harvests and their management within the Central Coast of BC. Further, this collaborative research project is being led by the Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance and four partnering First Nations (Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xai’xais, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv Nation) to develop a […]

Les technologies liées aux systèmes d’aide aux prises des décisions dans des navires intelligents ont atteint un niveau de maturité élevé dans les dernières années. Pendant ce temps, les navires autonomes et sans pilote ont aussi été largement étudiés en parallèle aux véhicules autonomes, comme les chargeuses autonomes dans les mines. Bien que la technologie […]

Kelps are large brown algae that can form complex marine “forests”. Many marine species, including salmon, use these kelp forests as habitat. However, kelps in the Salish Sea have been declining in recent years. This has likely been driven, at least in part, by ocean warming. If we are to predict how kelp losses might […]
