La température de surface des océans a augmenté d’environ 1 °C depuis l’époque préindustrielle, une tendance qui ira en s’accélérant. L’effet probable de ce changement environnemental sur la croissance des mollusques marins sera étudié par le biais de simulations sur ordinateur. Ce travail met en jeu la moule. Nous nous servirons de données sur l’alimentation […]

This project is intended to provide information regarding the potential impacts and benefits to wildlife habitat resulting from varying forestry harvest practices, with an emphasis on moose, by studying the short term differences among plant species, soil moisture, light, and wildlife use.

Commercial hazelnuts are a woody perennial crop that requires significant upfront investment. They are typically grown in a monocropped orchard, with bare soil or a closely-cropped grassy orchard floor. Hazelnuts are usually harvested from the ground, meaning that the presence of intercrops is a hindrance for harvest. This results in lower in-field diversity, wasted production […]

Ce projet de recherche consiste à classifier automatiquement du bois plaqué selon 16 catégories à l’aide d’apprentissage automatique. Il sera réalisé en collaboration avec une entreprise, R.Perron, qui collaborera activement pour ce projet en fournissant des données réelles de production ainsi que l’avis d’expert dans ce domaine. Actuellement, cette classification est faite visuellement par un […]

Dairy consumption has decreased in the last 30 years. Canada’s Food Guide no longer recommends three servings of dairy and emphasizes plant-based diets and dairy alternatives. Associated with this decrease is an increase in overweight and the risk of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in adolescents. Consistent with this advice, many adolescents have increased […]

The purpose of this project is to create evidence that describes the influence of urban trail development on population-level physical activity and active transportation. This is a growing field of importance as governments across all levels in Canada will be investing close to one billion dollars in urban infrastructure over the next ten years. There […]

Saltmarshes, meadows flooded by marine waters, are recognized as one of the world’s most effective ecosystems for sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil, thus helping to mitigate climate warming. These marshes also are negligible sources or even sinks for the potent greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide. Through our […]

To reflect changing external pressures on organic farmers due to erratic and extreme weather patterns, Organic Alberta is seeing a need to shift our extension work from encouraging farmers to adopt best management practices to creating a strong foundation in systems-based problem solving. Our intern will be creating innovative course structures to provide Albertan farmers […]

Devant la problématique de la gestion des plastiques agricoles, une entreprise canadienne a développé un dispositif biodégradable d’attache des fourrages secs. Cette solution permetrait aux producteurs agricoles de disposer localement, de façon responsable et à faible cout du filet d’enrubannage comparativement aux solutions traditionnelles. Afin d’évaluer la viabilité de la disposition locale et de la […]
