This project will attempt to explore the solution space around a number of key issues related to passive underwater acoustic monitoring. Namely the mitigation of acoustic flow noise in turbulent environments, digital compression techniques for underwater acoustic data and the implementation of real time signal processing algorithms related to the detection of marine mammals on […]

Young workers face an increased likelihood of injury or death on the job compared to more experienced workers. Safety training is considered a key element to help reduces these numbers, and improve the safety of young workers. Therefore, the goal of this project is to better understand the current state of work safety training for […]

This project was born from the Medventions Atlantic Fellowship where, as a part of the psychiatry team, Chloe Robichaud shadowed Dr. Abraham Nunes to identify any problems that stood in the path of innovation and optimization within the field of psychiatric care. As a psychiatrist in the Mood Disorders Clinic in the NSHA Central Zone, […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project is an R&D project intended to solve the problem relating to a piece of machinery, a retail kiosk for distribution of age-restricted beverages, that has overall reliability issues due to a compounding of sub-optimally performing devices and subsystems exacerbated by competing timeouts; and unpredictability of human users.

This project, a collaborative effort between Saint Mary’s University and Wise Leadership Inc., seeks to address the pressing need for a more evidence-based approach to measuring workplace culture, especially in a post-COVID environment. Wise Leadership Inc., committed to enhancing organizational culture and leadership, faces the challenge of refining their tools and methods for more accurate […]

The presence of steroid hormones in the environment is an emerging global issue. Steroid estrogens are of particular concern due to their toxicity to humans and aquatic life at low (ng/L) concentrations and their considerable presence in human waste streams. Standard treatment processes in municipal treatment plants often do not completely degrade estrogenic compounds, and […]

This project seeks to fully develop Copsys Intelligent Digital Skin (CIDS) technology, elevating it from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to market readiness. CIDS, a novel paint-based digital technology, aims to revolutionize corrosion and asset integrity management across various industries. It integrates impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) within a coating, marking a significant innovation in […]

Our CBU Research Team is working with Net-Zero Atlantic under the NZA Program to develop a point-source carbon capture and storage technology that 1) uses a capture medium constituted from seawater and 2) employs a technique that permanently sequesters the captured carbon as metal carbonates using the contaminated water of flooded former mines. This work […]

The need to reduce fossil fuel use is urgent, especially in sectors that produce a lot of greenhouse gases like heavy-duty road transportation. This is necessary because of increasing energy demand, urbanization, and global climate change. In Canada alone, more than $30 billion is spent yearly on fuel for heavy vehicles, resulting in a large […]

The Ocean Super Cluster is interested in gaining more insight into the perceptions and attitudes of young talent, that influence their interest in participating in Ocean careers. Research has been conducted in the past that shed light on the perceptions and intentions of youth (grades 6-9) living in maritime regions, and this previous research will […]
