La compréhension de l’économie pastorale au début de l’âge du fer, des périodes archaïques et classiques en Macédoine reste assez fragmentaire. Ma thèse a tenté de combler ces lacunes en étudiant l’économie pastorale et la relation entre les hommes et les animaux à travers l’exploitation et la consommation de ces derniers à Argilos. Cette étude […]

This capstone project seeks to develop intervention strategies to help Varsity Courts Student Family Housing (VCSFH) become a zero-waste community. Thus, this project aims to contribute to achieving the University of Calgary zero-waste goals. Nature’s Ride can use the intervention strategies as workshops that can be taught in schools. Nature’s Ride can explore the possibility […]

This project explores the history of bird sound recording in Canada and the USA, with a specific focus on the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology at Cornell University, New York, which holds the world’s largest bird sound archive. I will focus on three case study recordings: Arthur A Allen and Peter Paul Kellogg’s 1935 Ivory-Billed Woodpecker […]

Domesticated over 12,000 years ago, cows are currently found in every country across the globe yet very little is known about their varied histories, geographies, and lives. This despite cows’ centrality to human pursuits of agriculture, colonization, and capitalism as well as their implication in climate change. Furthermore,even as social research on cows begins to […]

This project emphasizes on the invasive proliferation of obnoxious wetland plant, Phragmites australis in Canada and India, impacting the economy and ecology of both the countries. We focus on understanding the relationship of soil microbes and this plant species, whether soil microbiota aids in its successful invasive spread. In view of the growing pollution in […]

There are Atlantic sturgeon in the Restigouche River. This species is millions of years old and it is still found in our waters today. Fishers have reported their sightings every year in the last decade. Unfortunately, this species is now considered to be a species-at-risk. Because their numbers are so low, we don’t see them […]

Le platine et le palladium sont deux métaux utilisés dans plusieurs industries et dont la demande annuelle mondiale connaît une croissance constante depuis le milieu des années 1970. L’industrie automobile est l’une des plus grandes consommatrices de ces éléments où, intégrés au pot catalytique, ils permettent de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de […]

The biologically-fixed N is more efficiently converted into protein than mineral N from fertilizers. As low protein content is currently a topic of great concern in many soybean-growing areas, improvement of BNF efficiency may reach higher protein levels with lower environmental impacts. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have shown excellent results in the association of single-nucleotide […]

Permafrost is currently degrading due to climate changes in northern regions, resulting in several impacts on civilian infrastructure and natural environments. These changes can ultimately lead to a shift in the water cycle from a surface flow regime to a groundwater flow regime following permafrost degradation. In order to anticipate such impacts, it is important […]

Burning fuels such as gasoline and diesel in our vehicles causes green house gas emissions and it is a major cause of global warming. If electric vehicles replace gasoline powered vehicles, the emission will be much lower. The peak power demand of an electric vehicle during acceleration is the key factor for its battery size. […]

Climate change has become a major concern over the past decades. In this context, one of the biggest issues is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced every year around the globe. In response, researchers have discovered creative solutions to recycle CO2 via a process commonly known as CO2 fixation. More recently, the use of […]

Terrestrial contaminated sites – such as abandoned oilfields, chemical spill sites, or former industrial zones – are a major environmental problem in Canada and around the world. Environmental Material Science has created new environmental monitoring equipment that generates high-resolution spatially and temporally explicit data on environmental quality. The data must be visualized and then used […]
