The goals of this partnership are for this study to provide an informative framework that employers can work from to develop strong policies which can demonstrate their sensitivity to the lived experience of their immigrant employee. From that goal, several other beneficial actions can occur which may strengthen Newfoundland and Labrador into becoming a powerful […]

This research project will create data dashboards that measure Kingston’s economic resiliency a year into the pandemic. The data will be collected from multiple organizations and sources to create a comprehensive look at the pandemic’s impact. The data dashboards will cover the areas of business and tourism, health and community, mobility and home and employment. […]

A hybrid computational framework for short-term flood prediction in urban watersheds (characterized by overland runoff) will be developed to improve prediction accuracy. The framework aims to accurately predict an event, e.g. flood or no-flood, as opposed to traditional methods which estimate water flow characteristics, e.g. 6 feet above flood stage. Successful early prediction of these […]

This community-based research project is a collaboration with a not-for-profit Indigenous partner organization, the Gwich’in Renewable Resources Board, that explores the impact of permafrost degradation on ?uk dagaii (broad whitefish, Coregonus nasus) habitat in the Peel River Watershed, Northwest Territories. A postdoctoral intern leading this research will use spatial overlay analysis combining Indigenous and scientific […]

The overall goal of this research project is to analyse and understand the gaps and needs of the functioning of the subnational legislatures in Ukraine concerning their mandate, composition, and the performance of their legislative, oversight and representation roles, including their engagement with the civil organizations and the local communities. Based on the analysis, recommendations […]

Budgetary constraints are one of the biggest obstacles to local government action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A climate change mitigation development cost charge (DCC) could greatly assist local governments in overcoming this barrier. Planning and legal scholars have outlined the broad contours of such a fee and discussed the policy and technical issues involved […]

Apparu il y’a environ 40 ans, le développement durable (DD) propose un référentiel transversal, responsable et partagé de gestion commune. Cet idéal interpelle à la fois les politiques, les affaires et la société. Bien que n’étant pas soumises aux lois en la matière, les villes et les municipalités participent à leur niveau à la mise […]

This research will develop a novel freeway control approach for the era of co-existence of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and human-driven vehicles (HDVs). Fully connected and autonomous vehicles can navigate roads without a human driver and connect and interact with other vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and their environment. It is anticipated that the technology will […]

Most rural municipalities on the Canadian Shield rely on underground aquifers as their primary source of drinking water. Groundwater is prone to many anthropogenic and natural sources of contamination. The objective of the research project is to develop an innovative technique to predict and map the depth of the bedrock surface across large scales using […]

Le myriophylle à épis est une plante aquatique exotique envahissante dont les populations sont en pleine expansion au Québec. Plusieurs travaux en laboratoire ont montré que le myriophylle libère, en se décomposant, des substances toxiques pour les cyanobactéries. Le myriophylle peut aussi héberger sur ses tissus des algues microscopiques qui captent des nutriments qui ne […]

Risk Sciences International is currently completing a comprehensive risk assessment of the potential human health effects of manganese. This assessment involves a systematic review of the worlds’ literature on epidemiological and toxicological studies of manganese, following which an international expert panel has scored all of the adverse health outcomes identified through this review using a […]
