Estuaries are crucial stopover areas for juvenile salmon during outmigration and especially for Chinook salmon who can reside in this habitat for over a month. Many populations of Chinook salmon from the Pacific Northwest are threatened and endangered making conservation important for this species. Currently, managers are investing significant public funds in estuary restoration and […]

Le sujet a l’etude dans ce projet est le joint de cuivre flexible. Ces joints assurent une connexion electrique entre des conducteurs. Certains fabricants utilisent aujourd’hui ces joints flexibles dans les alternateurs pour faire les connexions entre les poles du rotor pour l’inducteur. Le dimensionnement de ces joints flexibles s’effectue avec une approche conservatrice compte […]

Peatlands are freshwater wetlands which, in their natural (pristine) state, provide a specific habitat for many species of flora and fauna and several ecosystem services useful to human populations, such as the sequestration of carbon in accumulated peat (peatlands are a major global carbon sink). However, like many other wetlands, they are often disturbed and […]

Le projet génèrera des connaissances sur les mesures d’adaptation du cadre bâti aux inondations à l’échelle des bâtiments et des communautés. Ce projet comble un manque d’information sur les manières d’habiter et de planifier les zones inondables constructibles au Québec. L’analyse de cas de défaillance de mesures de protection contre les inondations permettra le développement […]

The Highbanks Society, located in Calgary, Alberta, provides long-term, safe, affordable housing and social programs that provide security, stability, and eliminate barriers to growth for pregnant or parenting women between 16-24 years of age. This internship will assess the impact of the current Highbanks Society housing program ‘Homes for Heroes’ and identify opportunities for expansion, […]

The escalating energy demands and increasing impact of emissions on the environment have driven the need for new and environment-friendly alternative fuels in place of the commonly used yet hazardous and depleting fossil fuels. Identification of the suitable hydrogen production method is dependent on two major analysis methods: the analysis of the resources available in […]

Interns will help collect various data about Ontario’s bat species, and use these to investigate their distributions, use of different land cover, and interactions with the human environment in the Greater Toronto Area. One project will use ultrasonic recorders to monitor bat echolocation activity, and identify temporal and spatial activity patterns in an urban gradient, […]

This project will look into the tools available to implement machine learning in production and find the best ones to use in a small business environment. The goal is to find a set of tools that can be used by developers with little or no experience with machine learning that is still performant enough to […]

Une hausse de la fréquence des inondations dû aux réchauffements climatiques est anticipée au Québec et des impacts psychologiques sont à prévoir, notamment chez les femmes enceintes. Subir une catastrophe naturelle durant la grossesse est un stress qui laisse ses traces jusque dans le développement de l’enfant à naître, notamment en augmentant le risque de […]

Urban forests are an essential component of green and sustainable communities. They play a critical role in ecological and social wellbeing by providing beneficial ecosystem services which improve environment and human health. Nonetheless, urban and infrastructure development, invasive species, and environmental stresses threaten urban tree survivorship. While public trees are often well-documented, there is limited […]

Empowering Indigenous Women for Stronger Communities (EIWFSC) is a province-wide collaborative of Indigenous women with representation from the four Indigenous groups in the province. Throughout the duration of the project, 45 Indigenous women were trained as Peer Facilitators and have been leading culturally based workshops in their respective communities with a goal to impact positive […]
