There are many stressors contributing to poor health in honey bees. Varroa mites are by far the most devastating parasite of bees. These mites have been contributing to high annual bee colony mortality (45% in 2022) in Canada. Despite using recommendations on how to apply options to control Varroa according to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) […]

This project investigates the ethical challenges inherent in transformation-oriented research (TR), addressing complex socio-ecological issues like climate change and social inequalities. TR, characterised by normative orientations toward societal change, presents dilemmas such as balancing rigor and relevance, avoiding false neutrality, and addressing epistemic injustice. Despite a resurgence of peer principles and proposals for TR researchers’ […]

This research focuses on recycling polyamides, especially polyamide 11 (PA11). Our goal is to study the effect of recycling processes on the thermal properties of PA11 by different techniques using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This research project has the potential to set up new possibilities for improved methods of recycling by providing critical insights into […]

With an estimated population of 15,893, the Municipal District of Willow Creek is a small municipality. Willow Creek Regional Class II Landfill is the only waste management facility for the entire M.D. of Willow Creek region.

Overfishing has declined 75% of Canada’s recreational fisheries jeopardizing valuable fisheries and threatening wild-stock spcies. Considering that humans interact with nature at large scales, management must better identify large-scale processes affecting fish-human interactions to avoid overfishing. Confronting these challenges requires using spatial information on fish-human dynamics along with computer-modeling that can used to develop sustainable […]

Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) are a crucial component of freshwaters that provide high value ecosystem services, including supplying habitat for diverse organisms and maintaining clear water. However, native SAV can be outcompeted by invasive ones that tend to grow in excess and are perceived as a nuisance by recreational users. Invasions are thus often heavily […]

Le champignon microbien, Beauveria bassiana, est un agent de contrôle des ravageurs très utilisés dans le monde. Son spectre d’action est large et ce pathogène peut avoir des effets négatifs sur les insectes bénéfiques en culture comme les abeilles domestiques. Celles-ci offrent un service de pollinisation indispensable aux cultures et les récentes inquiétudes au sujet […]

This research project study the different approaches organizations have to corporate social responsibility and identify the reasons and challenges that are stopping different types of organizations from integrating the notion of “purpose” in their profit creation mechanisms. So far, the confusion that surrounds social responsibility space as well as the inability to accurately measure outcomes […]

Pilot training plays an important role in the aerospace industry and must also be aligned with the industry’s objective to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Electrification of training aircraft is a solution already being implemented by training services such as CAE. However, current battery technology is limiting the potential benefits of a direct retrofit […]
