With the growth of mobile device platforms such as smartphones and tablets, users now primarily experience the wireless networks they uses, whether cellular or WiFi based, through the context of the apps that they use. Hence, a heavy 8kype user may perceive a given network to be of substantially different quality than would be perceived […]

An increasing number of Aboriginal communities are seeking a fair share of benefits from the economic development of forest lands and resources. Yet participation remains low, and initiatives to increase the participation of Aboriginals in the forest sector have had limited contributions to improving the economic and social well-being of Aboriginal peoples and communities. This […]

Mining companies and their investors face a range of business risks stemming from water issues. This research develops new tools and frameworks to improve water management and ultimately reduce water-related risks. The work will include advancement of water risk assessment tools for the mining sector, development of new approaches for water balance modelling, and an […]

New rent relief programs lead to new questions and concerns, all of which we as landlords need to be adequately prepared to support on. The communication and storage of information, as well as the interface on which we interact with our clients, is key to our successful response to the increasing need for tenant support. […]

AJ Min Inc. is developing a technology to recover gold from tailings material. The technology is a novel combination of older and newer technologies and is not currently patented.

A rare inland population of fin whale uses the remote Kitimat Fjord System (KFS) in northern British Columbia (in the marine territory of the Gitga’at First Nation). This is the only fjord system, both historically and currently, that this predominantly offshore species has used within Canadian waters. Fin whales returned to the KFS only recently, […]

Healthy and sustainable housing is a critical social determinant of health and well-being. In Indigenous communities, decades of ineffective government housing and land policy have created abysmal, often culturally inappropriate housing conditions. Through partnership with First Nations, we will explore and uncover solutions to answer these questions: What if we could co-create Indigenous homes to […]

Large amounts of sewage sludge (SS) have been generated yearly by municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWPs), which entail huge operational expenses and advanced treatments, and the final disposal of biosolids in agricultural applications is reduced because of the potential environmental risks (e.g., heavy metals and emerging contaminants) associated with biosolids applications. The increased use of […]

The internship seeks to develop an acoustic classification algorithm that estimates the organism composition and density of plankton. A series of experiments have been conducted using trawl nets where a four-frequency sonar device was pointed across the net openings. The catch from each trawl survey is broken down into an estimate of the relative composition […]
