This project aims to develop an initial velocity model of the Revell Batholith and surrounding Greenstone belts. Establishing a microseismic network in this area is planned to better understand the long-term seismic hazard and geology of the region and at the site-scale. In order to accurately evaluate and interpret the microseismic data coming from a […]

Research problem: Reclamation practitioners must consider seed source for revegetation measures that maximize long-term resilience of reclaimed sites in regions undergoing rapid climate change. Climate analog mapping, relating climate of a space at a point in time to that of another, can help identify location of seed sources best adapted for current and future climates. […]

La compagnie Wastack vise à développer un système permettant d’identifier différents types de déchets néfastes dès leur arrivée aux sites d’enfouissement afin d’éviter que certains matériaux tels que les batteries, les écrans d’ordinateur ou les pneus s’y retrouvent alors qu’ils devraient être traités ailleurs. L’objectif du projet est de fournir une rétroaction continue aux citoyens […]

The Sustainable Engineering Design Audit (SEDA) score is to be designed to evaluate environmental impact on the balance sheet alongside the bottom line. The ability to evaluate environmental use alongside financial decisions will increase green practices and pro-environmental behaviour. The score will use appropriate Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) boundaries through a cradle-to-grave analysis and examine […]

Our laboratory has recently provided evidence that NPY is also involved in the progression of breast cancer. We have demonstrated that breast cancer tumors have sympathetic nerves, NPY and NPY receptors. Also, we have shown in cell culture studies, that when NPY binds to the Y5 receptor on breast cancer cells, those cells will divide […]

This proposed rural community sustainability research program at the Rural Development Institute (RDI) aims to collectively address and support rural issues through research. The main themes surround sustainable economic development and diversification, climate resiliency, environmental protection, and sustainable community indicators for development and prosperity. Economic development and diversification will entail collaboration between different scales of […]

L’AQLPH (Association Québécoise pour le Loisir des Personnes Handicapées), sensibilise actuellement divers publiques aux difficultés que font face des personnes en situation d’handicap, mais le tout est couteux à faire opérer et exige une équipe sur place. Ce projet de recherche vise à développer une application pouvant opérer à peu de frais et partout sans […]

Les start-up sont des entreprises émergentes qui contribuent positivement au développement socio-économique de la société. Les entrepreneurs à la tête de ces entreprises cherchent souvent un accompagnement entrepreneurial offert par des organismes nommés incubateurs. Des différences de perceptions entre ces deux parties freinent la mise en place d’une relation collaborative à long terme. Cette recherche […]

Phytoremediation (plant-based environmental cleanup) is a green, cost-effective alternative to conventional methods for contaminated site cleanup, which often involve extensive, community-disruptive, industrial efforts. Deep-rooted trees, such as hybrid Canadian poplars, can effectively be used to contain and clean up petroleum-derived contaminants in soil and groundwater resources. The proposed research project is aimed at verifying the […]

Aeroplan Inc. (“Aeroplan”) , aims to redesign and optimize its loyalty program Aeroplan via a collaboration with Polytechnique Montréal. Customers affiliated with Aeroplan’s program earn miles through their purchases and can exchange these miles for various gifts. It is essential for Aeroplan to predict customers behavior, to define the causes of certain behaviors and to […]

La région de l’Outaouais possède un fort potentiel de développement dans le secteur de l’économie sociale. Les acteurs du développement en prennent de plus en plus conscience et plusieurs cas de partenariats entre des entreprises d’économie sociale (EÉS) et certaines municipalités de la région ont vu le jour afin de réaliser ce potentiel. Notre recherche […]
