Foundations of Academic Success in Indigenous Children

This research aims to understand Indigenous children’s academic attitudes during the pivotal transition to off-reserve schooling after grade six. It uniquely acknowledges educators’ vital role as unconventional mental health providers within Indigenous communities. By exploring stereotypes and attitudes, it bridges the gap between academia and community mental health providers, recognizing education’s potential in addressing mental […]

Détection et cartographie du nerprun bourdaine (Frangula alnus Mill.) par imagerie et données lidar acquises par drone

L’introduction d’espèces exotiques envahissantes (EEE) représente une problématique importante, potentiellement amplifiée par les changements climatiques qui favorisent l’implantation de ces espèces. L’envahissement des milieux forestiers par le nerprun bourdaine cause notamment des impacts négatifs sur la biodiversité et l’industrie forestière en limitant la croissance des arbres et en affectant la succession forestière. Les capacités de […]

Artificial Intelligence Alignment for Inclusion

The “AI Alignment for Inclusion” project aims to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can assist in visualizing more inclusive public spaces in Montreal. The focus is on gathering citizens’ and experts’ opinions in urban planning to create AI-generated images that reflect diverse needs. These images are then reviewed by Montreal residents, providing valuable feedback on […]

Étude du développement et de la propagation dans les eaux souterraines des anomalies hydrogéochimiques des gîtes métallifères du Bouclier canadien profond; facteurs d’influence et paramètres de contrôle du continuum eau de recharge / saumures profondes

Le partenaire industriel CONSOREM détient actuellement une base de données unique contenant plus de 250 analyses chimiques d’eau souterraine prélevée dans des forages d’exploration jusqu’à de grandes profondeurs (1150 m) en Abitibi. Les données ont permis de révéler l’existence d’empreintes géochimiques singulières dans l’eau souterraine, causées par la présence de la minéralisation. Les processus impliqués […]

Réduction de l’empreinte environnementale des projets d’infrastructures

Dans le contexte actuel de changements climatiques et de réduction des gaz à effet de serre (GES), les municipalités québécoises doivent intégrer des matériaux plus respectueux de l’environnement dans leurs projets d’infrastructures routières. Pour les aider à sélectionner ces matériaux, le projet vise à développer un outil d’aide à la décision qui leur permettra de […]

Evaluation of Inter-well Connectivity for Well Spacing Optimization

A consequence of modern development of low-permeability (‘unconventional’) reservoirs using multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) is inter-well communication. Because inter-well communication can affect well performance for many wells, oil and gas operating companies are interested in the development of easy-to-implement, but effective, reservoir engineering methods for quantifying inter-well connectivity between MFHWs. Current methods for quantifying inter-well […]

Development of Compact Robot for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

robotic TMS coil holder will be developed with the primary objectives of being low-cost and providing a haptic interface for intuitive user manipulation. The key approach to achieving these goals is through reducing the system to the minimal components and working envelope. Frameless neuronavigation methods are capable of easily placing the coil within millimeters of […]

Access Justice in Post-Secondary Education: Advancing Remote and Hybrid Options for Accessible Learning, Work, and Community

The surge in options for online participation that accompanied the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was recognized by disability community members as a potential basis for accessibility gains, including in employment and education, where remote and hybrid access accommodations were previously characterized as impossible to implement. As much of the world has “returned […]

Culture of Outports

In 2010, ERA Architects initiated the Culture of Outports program that explores the adaptive reuse of outport communities scattered along the coastline of Newfoundland and Labrador. Culture of Outports uses research, design, and planning to foster livable communities in Newfoundland’s historic outports. The project proposes that an understanding of the unique history and character of […]
