Water resource management has been a challenge facing many regions worldwide, including Vietnam and Canada. Reservoirs are crucial in water management. The project is to further the intern’s PhD research on improving the reservoir operational rule with a case study of Thac Mo Reservoir in southern Vietnam. A model combining a rainfall-runoff framework, reservoir operating […]

This proposal focuses on the development of an innovative material combining a soy-based resin system with advanced unidirectional flax fibers that would result in a bio-inspired composite material with outstanding mechanical performances. The soy-based resin system developed is a polyurethane reactive resin that with further studies may form a thermoplastic structure offering the advantages of […]

Changes in sea-level are attributable mainly to crustal deformation, changes in global ocean volumes (eustasy) and the response of the Earth’s crust to glaciation (isostasy). On the British Columbia coast, sea-level history is complex owing to regional differences in these factors. A geographic data gap exists in our understanding of Holocene (past 10,000 years) sea-level […]

L’arthrose est le type d’arthrite le plus courant et une cause importante d’invalidité dans le monde. Avec une population canadienne croissante et vieillissante, la prévalence et le fardeau de l’incapacité devraient augmenter. Heureusement, le risque de développer de l’arthrose peut être réduit et bien qu’il n’y ait pas de remède connu, beaucoup peut être fait […]

This postdoctoral study seeks to help Teck understand the practices that support and advance the company’s sustainability, its employees’ safety, Its collaboration with communities and Its protection of the environment. Through a series of case studies, the researcher will explore how Teck has managed the tension between regulatory compliance and sustainable innovation. The researcher will […]

Esdilagh Development Corporation(EDC) business Interns to perform business development research to inform the composition of business plans, ensuring we have professional business guidance tools to assist EDC in engaging in business sectors as identified in the Esdilagh Economic Development Plan and Investment Profile completed in 2011. Project goals are to produce professional quality Business Plans […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

We need to understand whether estuarine marsh habitat recovers to the same condition quality as undisturbed areas after exclusion of intensive goose grazing. Recovery through natural processes takes longer than restoration assisted by transplanting, however understanding how much faster assisted restoration enables recovery helps inform cost-effective strategies. Non-profit organizations can benefit from academic support to […]

L’objectif de ce projet est d’explorer la pratique professionnelle des consultants offrant des services liés à la biodiversité. Bien que controversées, les « approches de marché », telles que les systèmes de compensation, les banques de biodiversité ou encore les paiements pour services écosystémiques, sont largement encouragées par les organisations gouvernementales pour protéger la biodiversité. […]

En se déplaçant, les animaux, et autres organismes vivants, laissent des traces de leur matériel génétique dans l’environnement. Cette précieuse information est l’ADN environnemental (ADNe) et son analyse permet de détecter indirectement la présence d’une espèce et d’estimer son abondance relative dans un milieu. Ce matériel génétique peut se retrouver sous forme de cellules mortes […]

In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada declared 1700 km2 as Aboriginal Title Land to the Tsilhqot’in Nation. The Title Lands are set within the Caretaker Area of Xeni Gwet’in First Nation (XGFN)- one of six Tsilhqot’in communities. The Tsilhqot’in decision has created a range of immediate management and planning needs, and new opportunities for […]
