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 […]

As the need for pandemic preparedness, assessing cross-infection risks based on the given indoor environmental conditions is crucial for preventing the spread of group infections. The objective of this research project is to analyze cross-infection risks with various types of mechanical ventilation systems in uncertain environments, such as locations and distances of the infector and […]

The integration of biodiversity value in forest management is becoming more common and widely adopted across many countries. Despite the popularity of conifer plantations and thinning practices in Canada, the current knowledge on long-term effects of mechanical thinning on biodiversity is poorly understood. Saproxylic beetles are a group of insects associated with dead or dying […]

The project is focused on study of commercial microbial cultures for biological remediation of soils and ground waters contaminated by chlorinated organic. The successful elaboration and improvement of the products requires analysis on molecular-genetic level and developing of specific techniques (16S pyrotag pipeline) for microbial communities profiling and metabolic reconstruction. The work benefits to industry […]

The objective of this project is assessing the current distribution of kelp forests and to identify potential areas where the environmental conditions could enhance the development and resilience of kelp forests in the Broughton Archipelago, northeast of Vancouver Island. This information will help research, managers, communities, and Bamfield Marine Science Centre, the partner organization, to […]

Turbulent flows are complex patterns of fluid motion commonly encountered in nature and engineering applications. Turbulence involves various spatial and temporal scales of motion, making it challenging to measure accurately. This project aims to understand the nonlinear, multi-scale dynamics of turbulence. By utilizing an advection-based method, this work proposes a technique to enhance the temporal […]
