Water dynamics monitoring in agriculture plays a crucial role in optimizing resource use, maximizing crop productivity, and promoting environmental sustainability in agricultural systems. It provides valuable data for informed decision-making, helping farmers address challenges related to water management and climate variability. Canada’s RADARSAT Constellation Mission Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) continuously monitors the Canadian agriculture. This […]

This project focuses on creating interdisciplinary educational program within the energy field. The goal is to address the challenge of engineers struggling to collaborate effectively with colleagues from different backgrounds – both within and outside of engineering. By integrating energy principles with business, political, and environmental considerations, this project aims to equip future engineers with […]

Green solvents are expected to present certain features: availability, non-toxicity, recyclability, biodegradability, non-flammability and low cost. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been studied for the last two decades as a greener alternative to organic solvents since they have cheaper production, are less toxic and are commonly biodegradable. Although phase diagrams of several DESs have been […]

This research initiative focuses on the development of sustainable and eco-friendly methods for harnessing natural resources, particularly wood, to produce valuable chemical compounds with applications in materials, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Through a collaborative effort involving experts from Canada and Italy, we aim to pioneer chemical reactions that leverage visible light and wood-derived compounds as catalysts […]

The project aims to investigate whether implementing Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) can provide extra protection to bathing and water recreation areas from Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) risks. By utilizing the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) software and Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA), this internship abroad offers a unique chance to assess such risks comprehensively. It also […]

Le changement climatique augmente la fréquence et l’intensité des évènements climatiques extrêmes : inondations, ilots de chaleur urbain, sécheresses, etc. Dans l’analyse et la gestion de ces phénomènes, l’évolution de l’occupation du sol est souvent négligée tant l’attention est concentrée sur l’impact du climat. Cependant, la croissance démographique et l’étalement urbain engendrent une croissance urbaine […]

Prince Edward Island (PEI) potato production represents 23% of the total production in Canada, contributes 6.6% in the local provincial economy, therefore maintaining higher potato yield is the main goal of local farmers. This can be achieved through proper management practices including nutrients supply such as nitrogen. Nitrogen (N) is the one of the most […]

Les émissions anthropiques de gaz à effet de serre sont les principales responsables des changements climatiques en cours. Ainsi, les industries se doivent de mesurer et contrôler leurs émissions afin de réduire leurs impacts sur l’environnement. Les réservoirs créés lors la construction de barrages hydroélectriques relâchent des quantités importantes de CO2 et de CH4 dans […]

Ce travail porte sur la formulation et l’étude du comportement hygrothermique de blocs de terre comprimée (BTC) stabilisés et améliorés par l’ajout d’un liant organique à base d’amidon, à des sols disponibles localement. Le but ultime est de diminuer les coûts et l’impact carbone des constructions. Les premiers résultats obtenus concernent la caractérisation physique, mais […]

This project proposes a comprehensive analysis of the impact of environmental stress on Antarctic fish, utilizing an integrated approach that combines biophysical and genomic analyses to study adaptation mechanisms. By integrating disciplines, including physics and biology, this research aims to enhance our understanding of evolutionary processes and adaptation strategies of organisms in extreme environments, such […]
