A real-time wideband underwater localization system using passive acoustic monitoring

This project provides a software solution for detecting, classifying, and tracking moving sound sources underwater from the generated sounds. Generally, monitoring shipping traffic largely rely on the automatic identification systems (AIS) installed on the vessels. The ability to track these vessels is at the mercy of the functionality of the transponders onboard the vessels and […]

Améliorer la qualité des sols et augmenter le stockage du carbone dans les aménagements horticoles urbains

Les sols en milieu urbain sont bien souvent oubliés. Pourtant, ils remplissent un grand nombre de services écologiques à la population : ils contribuent à supporter une biodiversité aérienne et souterraine abondante, à recycler les éléments nutritifs et à filtrer l’eau, ainsi qu’à réduire les îlots de chaleur et lutter contre les émissions de gaz […]

Freeze purification of mine-impacted water: laboratory study and mathematical modeling

The project is dedicated to the investigation and testing of environment-friendly, energy-efficient freezing technology for the remediation of mine-impacted water. This technology could be beneficial and economically feasible for the regions with cold weather conditions and vulnerable to anthropogenic impact. The primary research objectives of current project are to continue and advance laboratory experiments started […]

La ruelle bleue-verte comme modèle de gestion durable des eaux pluviales et composante d’une ville résiliente: une étude de la création de valeur, à l’échelle locale et municipale, dans une perspective de cycle de vie et une approche de monétisation

Avec les changements climatiques, il est attendu que les pluies seront plus abondantes (Alliance des ruelles bleues-vertes, 2018), ce qui risquerait d’engorger les systèmes municipaux de gestion de l’eau, qui subissent déjà une pression dans les centres urbains (Bruebach, 2019), notamment à Montréal. Or, ce projet s’intéresse au concept de ruelle bleue-verte comme infrastructure pour […]

Geomicrobiological assessment of advanced customizable leach columns

Acid mine drainage (AMO) is a significant environmental concern at many hard rock mines. Laboratory-based predictive tests are used to determine if AMO will be generated by mine wastes, but these tests do not generally examine the role of microbes in acid-generating processes. This study will extend the capabilities of the advanced customizable leaching columns […]

Enhanced carbon capture in manipulated mine tailings

This project will study the effects of CO2 sequestration in mine waste tailings using a robotic mixing system. Mine waste tailings represent a large opportunity for carbon storage, assisting mining companies with goals to improve their carbon footprint. Robotic mixing of the surface of tailings is expected to accelerate carbon storage and mixing and measurement […]

Development of ultrasonic based oil-water interface level monitoring device

The project aims at developing prototype of a new ultrasonic based device to monitor and maintain oil-water interface position and oil layer height. Need for such a device has been identified for applications in oil-water separators commonly used in a number of processes. The ability to monitor interface position as well as liquid-layer thickness is […]

Strategic Safety Stock Allocation in an AssemblySupply Chain Network

The supply chain structure of an engine assembly line consists of several complex flows and processes to satisfy the requirements for on time delivery of these products. The difficulty in managing such systems is due to the fact that more than 1000 parts should be available on time in a synchronized manner to start the […]
