The project will develop a highly efficient technology for producing plasma-activated water (PAW) with low energy consumption. Expected outcomes of the project will enable high throughput production of PAW to meet the urgent need for green and sustainable technology in agriculture and food. PAW generated in large quantities will be at low cost without using […]

The project investigates how to design and implement high quality user experiences for extended reality (XR) applications that are deployed over 5G networks. Interns will elicit high level quality of experience requirements for such applications, determine appropriate metrics to reach these goals and micro-service based software architectures to build such applications. We are in particular […]

The boreal ecosystem in the Northern Alberta is strongly segmented by linear exploration corridors for petroleum exploartion, called seismic lines. Unfortunately, many of these lines are in a state of arrested succession and are unlikely to recover without active intervention. Restoration planning for such a large affected area demands knoledge about the possibility and the […]

The boreal ecosystem in the Northern Alberta is strongly segmented by linear exploration corridors for petroleum exploartion, calles seismic lines. Unfortunately, many of these lines are in a state of arrested succession and are unlikely to recover without active intervention. An essential variable to the understanding of regeneration of forest cover is the hydrology and […]

Data visualization is an important approach to help people understand data by graphic representation of data. Along with the development of various electronic devices and sensors, big data era is coming to us. Data visualization plays an increasingly important role in this era. However, research indicated that it’s hard for non visualization experts to author […]

The influence of seismic lines and other linear features can extend well into the surrounding forest, but the magnitude of this effect and the factors controlling it are poorly understood. The disruption of hydrological process by linear features is one such ‘edge effect’ of particular interest to BERA. Previous research by Caitlin Wilier (2017) in […]

Speeding up evaporation of water is essential for reducing the volume of tailings from mining industry, shortening the time required for land reclamation, and eliminating greenhouse gas emission from degradation of organic materials in wet deposits. Solar interfacial evaporation is an emerging technology that harvests solar energy and converts it to latent heat for water […]

Buried pipelines are inevitably constructed in geohazard areas associated with the possible development of permanent ground displacements, which induces considerably high strains thus leads to failure on pipeline structures. This study aims to establish an accurate and efficient tool for the safety evaluation of pipes bearing ground movements from the perspective of reliability, which purpose […]

Scope of work: Develop and implement data science models to identify construction projects relevant to our clients, before they go up for bid. Apply machine learning algorithms to public and proprietary datasets to recommend contract opportunities at as early stage as possible in the building process. Develop and implement logic to be applied to this […]

We are looking for a student or recent graduate to assist us with the transition of expanding our service range for community care. By participating in this internship, a wider audience will be reached about what services we offer. The intern will be able to help expand our company reach that was limited due to […]

This project is a cooperative arrangement with Siksika economic development. University of Lethbridge researchers are evaluating a range of economic development options for consideration by Siksika. These options are focussed on renewable energy, sustainability, and food security for the nation, and for economic development to further Nation participating in the Alberta and Canadian economies. Siksika […]

This project fills a data gap by creating key research inputs in the climate policy space: an online climate policy database and stringency index. We organize and classify government actions related to climate change in Canada by key criteria of interest including economic sector, target outcome, type of initiative (pricing system, performance regulations, incentives, innovation […]
