The EFMP is an environmental management platform. At its basic level it monitoring the environmental conditions over time and over the entire footprint of a project. The footprint of a development does not end at the boundary fence – the area that the development effects on a regular basis. The environmental information comes from Earth […]

This project is a study of the impacts of climate change on the economy of Alberta. The partner organization is a financial services company. They need information on climate risks to the largest and most climate-sensitive sectors, such as the oil and gas and agricultural industries. To assess these risks, the intern will collect information […]

The quest for finding plant protein alternatives to traditional protein sources (e.g., meat, dairy, eggs and soy) used by the food industry is being driven by consumer demand for healthier choices, population growth, environmental sustainability and regulator influencers. Millet represents a staple food for developing countries, especially in Africa and Asia, and represents rich source […]

This research project will assess, and compare cybersecurity frameworks currently in place for critical infrastructure protection in Internet of things (IoT), Operational Technology (OT) and 5G to determine what the recommended policies are for critical infrastructure protection today for IoT, OT and 5G, and if there is already a currently used framework that supports all […]

A variety of alternative strategies have been developed for increasing the service life of reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments. An optimum design or repair strategy requires not only an estimate of upfront costs, but also the means to compare all associated costs against the potential extension to the life of the structure. Unfortunately, […]

People who experience mental wellness challenges or mental illness often struggle to obtain or maintain a position in the workplace. This is extremely relevant given the current COVID crisis, where personal distancing and isolation are required for the greater societal good. Organizations and communities are looking for practical tools to support mental health amidst this […]

Chemical-assisted enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has recently received a great deal of attention as a means of improving the efficiency of oil recovery processes. Since heavy oil production is technically challenging due to its high viscosity and high asphaltene content, therefore, new recovery techniques are often tested and applied in lab-scale. This study will contribute […]

People who experience mental wellness challenges or mental illness often struggle to obtain or maintain a position in the workplace. Furthermore, lack of employment means individuals lose out on a myriad of mental, emotional, and physiological benefits that are generated through work. This is extremely relevant given the current COVID crisis where personal distancing and […]

There is an increasing demand for high resolution soil information to support precision agriculture. One of the tools that has been a focus of research to help meet this demand is the development of proximal soil sensing using reflectance spectroscopy. The advantage reflectance spectroscopy is that it is rapid, non-destructive, and can test for multiple […]

Discarded plastic is a significant environmental contaminant. Plastic pollution is found in marine and freshwater systems and affects a substantial number of aquatic species around the world, either by entanglement or ingestion of small pieces (i.e. microplastics). These plastic debris release dangerous chemicals with unknown toxic effects for species that rely on marine environments to […]
