Grenadier Pond Turtle Population Survey

Grenadier Pond in High Park, Toronto, is home to several turtle species, some of which are at risk due to habitat degradation, pollution and human interference. However, there is a lack of data on the pond’s turtle population, including species diversity, population size and nesting habits. We will conduct a population survey to establish baseline […]

Monitoring the mental health of Canadians

The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the mental health of Canadians. Surprisingly, as of April 2022, self-rated levels of anxiety and depression were comparable to the ones observed during the worst periods of the pandemic, according to data collected by MHRC. Therefore, it is important that we continue to monitor the mental health […]

Multimodal Evaluation of Microcracks in Concrete Samples Using Contact/Non-Contact Ultrasonics, Infrared Imaging, Computed Tomography Scans, and Electrical Resistivity

This research project seeks to develop the Ultrasonic-Electrical Concrete Assessment Method, an innovative approach for early detection of micro-cracks in concrete structures within nuclear power plants. These micro-cracks can compromise the structural integrity of concrete, increasing vulnerability to damage and potentially affecting safety and performance. By integrating advanced technologies—including ultrasonic waves, electrical measurements, thermal imaging, […]
