Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+) migrant realities are complex, due to the multiple violences that they are exposed to either in their country of origin or in Quebec. Upon arrival to Quebec, LGBTQI+ migrants encounter new challenges related to their migrant status, finding a job, safe housing, and accessing health care. When […]

This project examines multidisciplinary methodologies in adult Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) education, particularly focusing on strategies involving dialogic processes. Dialogic modes in learning broadly refer to activities of collaborative meaning-making through shared expression and communication rather than monologic processes, whereby fixed meaning is transferred through a one-way approach. As the demand for more conscientious […]

In the Arctic, climate change is leading to declines in seasonal sea-ice cover. Polar bears are increasingly at-risk from sea-ice loss because they use the ice as a platform to hunt seals, their preferred food source. When the ice retreats seasonally, bears rely on their stored energy reserves as fuel, but climate-driven changes in sea-ice […]

? Comprehensive review of S2EBPR, with a focus on operation, performance and microbial structure ? Evaluate and understand the effect of operational factors on conventional and S2EBPR systems by water quality monitoring, carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen mass balance, metabolic activity and kinetic tests and microbial ecology analysis ? Design and optimization of an S2EBPR system […]

La contamination des sols est une problématique qui touche la majorité des municipalités canadiennes. Plusieurs facteurs font en sorte que ces terrains peuvent rester vacants pendant plusieurs années avant qu’on ne leur trouve une seconde vocation. En plus des risques toxicologiques qui leur sont associés, certains sites sont pauvrement végétalisés et exacerbent les effets d’îlots […]

Human safety represents an ensential key feature in future samrt cities, which can be improved by mission critical vehicles that can operate in remote locations where rescue teams cannot reach due to various factors such as unavailable roads, floods, or fires. For example, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or simply drones, that work together in a […]

Le développement de l’industrie minière engendre des quantités de rejets miniers de plus en plus vastes. Ceci implique des surfaces affectées plus étendues, avec des impacts environnementaux plus significatifs. Les aires d’entreposage de centaines de millions de tonnes de rejets miniers en surface peuvent occuper plusieurs dizaines d’hectares et présentent de nombreux risques piur la […]

This project aims at providing a comprehensive appreciation of the net carbon capture potential of using pine beetle affected wood as feedstock for biochar (a carbon rich material) production and use throughout British Columbia. The carbon capture potential will be assessed by balancing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production, transport, and amendment of […]
