Important challenges remain around planning an ethical, justified, and accountable strategy for transitioning from emergency to long-term planning or closure of programs. Canadian Red Cross (CRC) aims to develop a practical guidance tool for closing humanitarian programs that will combine established operational practices with evidence based ethical considerations. This research will be qualitative in design […]

The most recent flood in Ahmedabad, India occurred in September 2013, when 50,000 people were displaced from low lying areas of the state. The World Bank report warns that the poor living in informal settlements, such as coastal slums in India, are the most likely to be killed or harmed by extreme weather linked to […]

Our research project focuses on enhancing the performance of grease lubricants utilized in the mining industry through the incorporation of graphene nanoparticles. Graphene is a cutting-edge material known for its exceptional lubricating properties. The intern(s) will collaborate closely with Nova Graphene Canada to synthesize and test these advanced lubricants. The expected outcome is the development […]
