This research project will provide an original historical overview of the connections between metal and mineral mining, metal and mineral mining chemical production, material transport via road and railway infrastructure, and Indigenous jurisdiction, in the Northern Great Lakes bioregion of Ontario, Canada. The intention of this project is to use a historical perspective gleaned through […]

Forestry is a cornerstone for many communities, and maintaining forest ecosystems is critical for habitat conservation and the maintenance of wildlife. The aim of this project is to build knowledge that will aid in promoting sustainable forestry and more resilient forest ecosystems. Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of drought events. In this […]

Maket is developing a generative pipeline for schematic floor plan creation that can adapt to various user-defined constraints and preferences. Maket plans to improve the functional output of the platform by using a machine learning approach that can produce floor plans representing the diversity and quality of those in the real world, while respecting the […]

AMD graphics cards are extensively used for computer games, and testing their performance involves manually playing various titles on multiple configurations. Automated gameplay can save time and effort during this process. However, using game images as input presents challenges for reinforcement learning (RL) agents, specifically in player navigation and movement. This internship aims to develop […]

The last two decades have seen an exponential increase in our understanding of the impact of the human microbiome on almost all aspects of human disease. The potential of therapies that augment our microbiomes are being realized for to address a wide variety of diseases. An exciting new area of research is based on the […]

The project aims to evaluate microplastic removal technologies from wastewater effluent and surface water of the Rideau River in Ontario Canada. A specifically designed net with a novel mesh product that has been developed to capture microplastics will be deployed to a wastewater effluent stream to test removal capabilities. Furthermore, removing microplastics from surface water […]

The proposed project will aim to improve traditional farming practices where seed and fertilizer are applied uniformly throughout a field without taking soil variability into account. Variable rate applications have shown the potential to help farmers save money while increasing the quality of their crop and minimizing environmental impacts. This research will help the Prince […]

Les composés per- et polyfluorés (PFAS) sont des composés chimiques très stables qui se trouvent dans de très nombreux biens de consommation courants. Cependant, du fait de leur stabilité, ils s’accumulent et contaminent l’environnement. Ces « polluants éternels » ont un impact néfaste sur la santé et l’environnement. La compagnie E2metrix a démontré que son […]

Low-altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight operations are regulated by safety protocols provided by aviation authorities, particularly in the vicinity of crowded airspace e.g. airports. With a fast-growing market for and penetration of commercial UAVs, the possibility of UAV intrusions within controlled airspace is expected to increase, despite these regulations. At lower altitudes, this increases […]

At the request of our community partners, Selkirk Innovates would like to refresh and ensure continuity with internships required to support our ongoing technology integration work in the natural resources sectors critical to the Kootenay environment and economy, specifically in forestry, fisheries, hydrology/ geothermal, wildfire mitigation and Mining/Minerals and with particular focus on applying geomatics […]

Les diagnostiques des troubles de l’apprentissage sont onéreux, soumis à la subjectivité de l’évaluateur, et les délais d’obtention d’un diagnostic sont assez long pour assurer une longue file d’attente. Le projet de recherche a pour objectif de diagnostiquer de manière quantitative le TDAH ainsi que la Dyslexie/Dysorthographie. Pour ce faire, le patient sera soumis à […]
