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 […]

This project is about creating dynamic maps of cattle movement over pasture foraging patches that will be characterized by forage plant composition, cover, and nutrition and takes place at the Thunder Bay Community Pasture (TBCP). The project is intended to test how the costs of implementing rotational grazing on the TBCP can be minimized by […]

There are many stressors contributing to poor health in honey bees. Varroa mites are by far the most devastating parasite of bees. These mites have been contributing to high annual bee colony mortality (45% in 2022) in Canada. Despite using recommendations on how to apply options to control Varroa according to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) […]

Overfishing has declined 75% of Canada’s recreational fisheries jeopardizing valuable fisheries and threatening wild-stock spcies. Considering that humans interact with nature at large scales, management must better identify large-scale processes affecting fish-human interactions to avoid overfishing. Confronting these challenges requires using spatial information on fish-human dynamics along with computer-modeling that can used to develop sustainable […]

La purification du graphite vers des formes à haute pureté implique la transformation des minéraux de gangue afin de pouvoir séparer les éléments le constituant du graphite. L’une des voies considérée pour cette transformation implique l’utilisation de sels capables de réagir notamment avec les silicates. L’objet de ce stage est l’utilisation de mélanges de sels […]

Diamonds originate deep in the Earth’s mantle since billions of years ago accumulating information about the Earth’s evolution. Diamonds reach the surface of the Earth inside deep magmas kimberlites and lamproites quickly rising from depths > 200 km. During ascent diamonds react with kimberlite magma and develop various dissolution features. Crystal morphology and surface textures […]

Le petit thé du Labrador, Rhododendron subarcticum (tiirluk en inuktitut; wiisichipikuush en langue crie) est un arbuste retrouvé à travers le Nunavik qui est consommé de manière importante, principalement sous forme de tisane, par les communautés cries et inuites du Nord du Québec. Malgré son importance, les tisanes de petit thé du Labrador ont très […]

Machine learning (ML) has become an indispensable tool in the mining industry, significantly enhancing operational efficiency, ensuring safety, and optimizing resource management. Its ability to process and analyze large datasets is pivotal in facilitating informed decision-making and reducing operational costs. This project leverages data analytics to augment mining operations planning, with two primary objectives: 1. […]

Dans la perspective de préserver les ressources naturelles non renouvelables et de contribuer concrètement à un développement durable, l’entreprise Bauval travaille assidument à la valorisation de résidus industriels, les scories d’aciérie, comme source de granulat dans la production d’enrobés spéciaux ultra-performants. Quatre (4) enrobés à chaud spéciaux de hautes technologies incorporant des scories sont actuellement […]

Hydrocarbon production from the Cardium Formation of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin peaked in the 1970’s. However, in recent years multistage hydrological fractured horizontal wells have unlocked large volumes of oil from low porosity permeability thin-bedded sandstones, laminated shales, and the bioturbated muddy sandstones. However, the geometry of the induced fractures is poorly understood. The […]

The project will provide drinking water systems using ozone/AOP, or planning to use ozone/AOP in the near future, to operate with the optimum ozone/AOP concentrations, pH during different temperatures for the effective removal of three cyanotoxins. The findings of the research project will provide the operation of drinking water systems with optimum operation procedures to […]
