Geohazard risk assessments are performed when there is a known threat to humans, critical infrastructure, and the environment from natural hazards. In southwestern BC, these natural hazards include debris flows, debris floods, floods, and wildfires. These hazards are closely related to weather conditions, and with the effects of climate change, we may observe these hazards […]

This project aims to document the process that was undertaken to establish the first Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) Innovation Centre. This documentation will serve as a roadmap and assist in the establishment of future IPCA innovation centres across Canada and internationally. The establishment of IPCAs are essential if Canada hopes to protect biodiversity […]

Nunavut Legal Aid aims to increase the access to justice in Nunavut through the reinstallation of Inuit legal traditions and restorative justice as an alternative to colonial carceral systems. This project will follow a three-phased approach to develop appropriate communication channels for each of Nunavut’s 24 communities; develop a community engagement framework; and consult with […]

Hydrogels have been widely researched as biomaterials for cell and drug delivery. Allarta has developed polymer-based capsules, based on pioneering research at McMaster University, with a range of diffusion profiles. Allarta has shown the ability of these hydrogels to support different mammalian cell types including stem cells and islets. Furthermore, such cell-containing hydrogels have been […]

La pêche au homard américain est un des principaux moteurs économiques aux Îles-de-la-madeleine. En 2021, les débarquements de ce crustacé ont représenté plus de 60% du total des captures effectuées toutes espèces confondues. Bien que ces chiffres soient plus qu’encourageants pour l’industrie des pêches ainsi que l’économie madelinienne, il convient de demeurer prudent en considérant […]

Ce projet vise à produire des simulations réalistes de comportements de piétons dans des environnements virtuels 3D. Dans ce genre d’environnements, qui peuvent être produits et visualisés par des moteurs graphiques tels que Unity et Unreel, les comportement de piétons peut être simulé et visualisé à travers des avatars. Dans ce projet, nous faisons l’hypothèse […]

Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is rapidly emerging as a potential technique to mitigate against the worst impacts of climate change. However, little is known regarding the potential biological and ecological impacts of introducing alkaline base into the coastal ocean to capture CO2, reversing ocean acidification in the process. Specifically, it remains unclear whether the phytoplankton […]

The proposed research aims to contribute to the development of a recycling process for waste magnets. The proposed method is based on slag treatment which is a high temperature process for separation of one element from another based on their difference in oxygen affinity. For example, the affinity of neodymium for oxygen is significantly higher […]

Le retraitement en place de type 2 est une technique de réhabilitation des chaussées qui s’inscrit dans les principes du développement durable et de l’économie circulaire. Ce projet vise à développer des outils permettant de mieux encadrer cette technique de réhabilitation dans un contexte climatique propre au Canada. Les organismes partenaires pour ce projet représentent […]

Diabetes is a chronic illness characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, accompanied by disturbed metabolism of fats and proteins. In the present project, a non-invasive wrist-worn device (Watch HOP) will be designed and fabricated to obtain physiological data (digital biomarkers) from participants to enable the creation of an algorithm that will ultimately allow to […]

Our partner organization has developed a new type of camera, one where depth information is part of a single lens/sensor construction, meaning that there are no occlusions or shadows which plague stereo cameras, there is no requirement to light the scene as well time-of-flight cameras, and the expense is low compared to light-field cameras. Currently […]
