A close relationship with the land is an integral part of the worldview of Tsimshian people, whose territory is on the northern coast of North America. Key places were marked as pictographs and petroglyphs (rock art), many of which are recorded as specific events in Tsimshianic oral tradition. This project seeks to advance the understanding […]

Geophysical techniques are being increasingly used to monitor the structural conditions of dams, due to their widespread coverage and ability to detect subsurface issues, such as the development of seepage pathways. One such technique is Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), which is sensitive to moisture content and porosity, meaning it can be useful for detecting areas […]

Our ability to model the air-sea exchange of CO2 with confidence in the Polar Oceans, a key component of global climate systems, is currently limited due to critical gaps in our understanding of the relationship and interactions between the air, sea, atmosphere and ice. This includes ice-driven CO2 fluxes during Spring melt season. Eddy covariance […]

An exploration of undergraduate Black students’ experience of higher education at the Univerisity of Calgary. In order to explore the experiences of Black students who specifically study English or Science at the univeristy, we intend to recruit at least five undergraduate students from each subject, and conduct a group semi-structured interview with each group about […]

The project aims to progress the development of a cloud-based application that will help healthcare professionals to identify and predict exposures in early life that might affect the chances of their patients experiencing ill-health in later life. It will do this by incorporating the views, values and requirements of its intended users (and those who […]

Le partage des données revêt aujourd’hui une importance majeure pour de nombreux secteurs de l’économie tout comme pour les grandes administrations et le monde de la recherche. Les attentes qui lui sont associées vont de la promotion de l’innovation et de la compétitivité en passant par l’amélioration des services publiques jusqu’au développement des connaissances. Les […]

Globally buildings are one of the sectors that consume the most energy. Thus, strategies and technologies are currently being developed to improve the energy efficiency of this sector and to work towards a low carbon economy. Latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LHTES) are a viable solution to improve the overall performance of renewable heating […]

This 3-month project will be realized at Ryerson University in Toronto, under the supervision of Professor Irene Gammel. The project aims to contribute to the study of trauma by using resilience as an analytical lens. It will offer theoretical and context-informed understandings of marginalized narratives by drawing on my expertise in the arts, humanities and […]

We live in a world that is increasingly dominated by humans which places wildlife under extra pressure to cope with changes to their landscape. One of the most important ways that animals can cope with these changes is to show plasticity in their behaviour. Altering their social behaviour to allow them to reduce the risks […]

This project investigates the vegetation of the Canadian Rockies, focusing on roots and other belowground characteristics which significantly influence ecosystem structure and function. The project will compare vegetation change over time and space using historical and recent photos from the Mountain Legacy Project. The findings will provide increased understanding of spatial and temporal variation of […]

The goal of this project is to combine the respective strengths two novel, complementary approaches to solving the Quantum Many Body Problem, the name given to the problem of the equations of quantum mechanics becoming impossible to solve by conventional methods due to very large numbers of particles being involved, such as in materials. To […]

Laser comms is a branch of wireless communication using a laser beam which directed at a given target, allowing higher speed connections. Specifically, we consider devices called modulators, these are used to encode information into a laser beam, analogously to sending a Morse code message. The modulator allows more of less of the laser beam […]
