The boreal forest, which provides critical habitat for diverse species and a suite of ecosystem services for communities within it, is experiencing the widespread effects of global change. On the island of Newfoundland, boreal forests are home to at-risk species such as woodland caribou and Newfoundland marten, and are under cumulative pressures of industrial and […]

The incorporation of natural habitats into urban planning is becoming commonplace and these habitats are important for biodiversity conservation, improving human well?being, and inspiring urban residents to participate in science and connect with nature. Our project aims to document the changes in bird and mammal communities along an urban to rural gradient within and just […]

Big data and analytics are pervasive within society and the ability to collect and interpret data sets has changed the operations and management of organizations impacting areas such as consumer purchasing decisions and transforming the methods and measurements used by managers. This is no different in sport where data analytics was first used for on-field […]

Interns will help collect various data about Ontario’s bat species, and use these to investigate their distributions, use of different land cover, and interactions with the human environment in the Greater Toronto Area. One project will use ultrasonic recorders to monitor bat echolocation activity, and identify temporal and spatial activity patterns in an urban gradient, […]

Recent advances in wearable devices have allowed athletes to monitor some determinant factors of their sport performance. In addition, they can be used to develop real-time 3D avatars of people to compete with them during dynamic activities. Kinetyx recently developed insoles with multiple sensors that can be worn within a shoe while performing many activities. […]

The Physics-Based Simulated Animal Movement Project is a 12 month research and development project that explores a physics-based approach to controlling video game characters, focusing on quadruped (four-legged) animals. The intent is for the control of these characters to feel weighted, powered by physics simulations that account for the mass and momentum of the animal […]
