La valorisation des déchets alimentaires constitue un enjeu majeur pour le développement de procédés circulaires et durables. Parmi les voies prometteuses, la récupération du calcium et du phosphore issus de résidus tels que les coquilles d’œufs, les arêtes ou les os de poisson permet la synthèse d’hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), un matériau reconnu pour ses propriétés structurales […]

Deep-sea ferromanganese nodules and crusts are not only potential resources for critical minerals such as cobalt and nickel, essential for the green energy transition and secondary battery technologies, but also valuable geological archives recording millions of years of ocean environmental history. However, traditional bulk geochemical analyses often fail to capture the fine-scale chemical and biological […]

The growing number of renewable energy sources in Cambodia, such as solar farms, makes it more difficult to schedule power system operations to satisfy demand and save operating costs. Forecasting is one way to manage energy. An excessively high prediction accuracy indicates that managing the spatial energy in Economic Dispatch (ED) and Optimal Power Flow […]

La découverte de nouveaux gisements miniers est devenue l’un des grands défis du XXI? siècle. Alors que la demande mondiale en minéraux stratégiques augmente pour accompagner la transition énergétique, les ressources facilement accessibles s’épuisent. L’exploration doit désormais cibler des environnements complexes où les méthodes traditionnelles sont coûteuses et incertaines. Ce projet propose une approche intégrée […]

Title “Blue Beauty Innovation: Sustainable Seaweed Bioactives for Cosmetics and Skincare” This project explores the potential of using natural compounds extracted from sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima), a seaweed that grows abundantly in Atlantic Canada, as safe and effective ingredients for skincare and cosmetic products. Around the world, consumers and companies are looking for cleaner, more […]

This study will investigate the potential to use mineral chemistry to develop vectors around poorly understood Au and Cu mineralization in Nevada. We will combine traditional mapping methods with state-of-theartmineral chemistry techniques to assess the alteration halo around a complex array of mineralized systems. The research will be completed by a master’s students, who will […]

Le projet de recherche proposé vise à développer un système basé sur l’Intelligence Artificielle multimodale pour analyser à la fois les images morphologiques et les données génétiques de poissons appartenant aux espèces Diaphanus et Heteroclitus. L’objectif est de permettre l’identification automatique des espèces, de déterminer le sexe des individus et d’évaluer le degré d’hybridation afin […]

The maple syrup industry represents an important economic activity in Quebec. Sap production and annual syrup yield highly rely on climatic conditions, especially temperature, and harvesting methods. Due to climate change and warming, the sugaring season is expected to occur and stop earlier in spring. Consequently, maple syrup production could decline significantly, raising concerns among […]

This project aims to understand how Small Hydropower Plants (SHPs) affects fish assemblages, especially vulnerable young individuals (larvae and juveniles). In this context, we are studying the role of aquatic plants (macrophytes) as their habitat . In addition to inventories of fish taxonomic diversity and we intend to examine how these fish use the environment […]

Le projet de recherche porte sur l’impression 3D de bio composites à base de lignine, un matériau biosourcé issu de la biomasse. L’objectif est de développer des matériaux écologiques et performants pour l’impression 3D en intégrant la lignine dans des composites innovants. Le stagiaire étudiera la formulation de ces bio composites, leurs propriétés rhéologiques et […]

Recovering oil from underground reservoirs carries environmental and financial risks that can be minimized with prior knowledge of what fluids are there and how to efficiently extract them. Currently, fluid flow behaviour can be measured at reservoir conditions in large pressurized vessels capable of up to 150 atmospheres and 300°C, but measurements can take weeks […]

Nova Scotia forests boast the second highest private ownership rate in Canada, with almost 3 of 4.5 million hectares owned by 30,000 woodlot owners and private corporations. Because of this, forest management practices vary widely. Though the Nova Scotian forests traditionally consist of large, mature, unevenly aged trees that support both important biodiversity and a […]
