The City of Calgary has identified four locations along the Elbow River where erosion may be(come) of concern for the safety of the nearby urban areas. This project will study the change in the shape of the Elbow River over time and in different conditions in order to enhance the understanding of its behaviour. This […]

A young Calgary based company has acquired the global distribution rights to a patented technology that will dramatically change the lifecycle of concrete across a vast array of industries. The process chemically remediates the concrete in place providing massive cost savings, large reductions in GHG emissions and builging sustainability. The global impact is dramatic. The […]

Carbon Footprint and Mitigation Planning for Waste Services at the City of Edmonton

The City of Edmonton developed the City Plan to help guide the growth of Edmonton towards the two-million people horizon. The City Plan envisions a more dense and sustainable City with a wide range of transportation options available for all Edmontonians. As Edmonton welcomes more people, additional transportation options will be required in the City. […]

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLBs) are considered the “holy grail” of battery chemistry because of their high capacity and energy density and will remain the dominating technology for the foreseeable future. However, lithium-metal anodes may trigger dendrites growth at high current, which reduces their cycle life, and safety, making SSLBs more challenging to commercialize. Also, […]

Older adults are the largest growing segment of the Canadian population. Almost 40% of men and 59% of women aged 65 to 79 years of age experience sleep disturbances. Little research has been done to examine sleep quality of assisted living residents through objective measures. This project aims to understand the association between sleep quality, […]

Happiness has always captured the attention of societies around the world. However, it was just at the beginning of the twenty first century, with the emergence of Positive Psychology, that a more scientific approach to the subject was undertaken. Due to the dynamic and fluctuating nature of happiness, mathematical modelling is recognized as an important […]

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) when used in conjunction with clear aligner orthodontic treatment has been shown in clinical studies literature to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, reduce orthodontically induced tooth root resorption, and shorten the overall duration of orthodontic treatment. In-market use of LIPUS technology as an adjunct the clear aligners has grown significantly over […]

MichifMedia is creating new educational resources through digital twins of landscapes, with a focus on our shared indigenous history. We will be using existing LiDAR scans done by the University of Lethbridge, and other available sources to create digital twins of three locations. These will be hosted online so they can be accessed for free […]

The trainees of this project will develop methods and techniques to test the effects of antivirals on white blood cells and set up a platform to test the preclinical toxicity of new potential antiviral compounds. White blood cells can exacerbate viral infections, yet there are few studies on how antivirals may have off target effects […]

The Growth Monitoring Sustainability Scholar will support the Urban Growth Monitoring and Analysis Team as it implements growth monitoring renewal through The City Plan. This Project includes evaluating, analyzing, and reporting on several sustainability factors related to urban growth in Edmonton, including neighbourhood growth sustainability modelling using tax revenue and servicing costs data to analyze […]

Building new solar infrastructure provides opportunities to restore biodiversity and ecosystem function on site, including native plant and pollinator biodiversity, and ecosystem services of plant biomass and flower production, pollination, carbon storage, and resistance to invasive species. Restoration of the diverse native plant communities that provide these goods and services is challenged by varying establishment […]
