This project develops a new project management method for software development targeting next-generation network providing unprecedented quality of cellular service to Canadians and small and medium businesses, stimulating innovations and improving the quality of life of our people. Relying on the ENCQOR infrastructure, which is the first 5G network in Canada supported by three governments […]

L’étude métallurgique est une étape essentielle de tout projet minier. Cette étape permet de concevoir un procédé afin d’extraire un métal d’intérêt (c.-à-d. l’or dans le cadre de ce projet) des roches. Ce procédé dépend des types de minéraux qui renferment l’or et tient compte des polluants que peuvent contenir ces minéraux. L’étude métallurgique s’appuie […]

Les barrages hydroélectriques permettent de fournir une énergie renouvelable. Leur construction implique d’inonder une vaste zone en amont du barrage. Le fait d’inonder un territoire engendre des émissions de gaz à effets de serre dans l’atmosphère. Calculer le bilan carbone des réservoirs hydroélectriques implantés en forêt boréale est difficile, puisque les forêts sont affectées régulièrement […]

Thus far Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) has been the sole commercially viable in-situ recovery method to extract Canadian oil sands that are too deep for mining. It involves high pressure steam injection and bitumen production using horizontal well pairs located near the base of oil sands formations. While it has enabled conversion of significant resources […]

Climate change demands that governing institutions at every level of society define targets for ecological transition. The UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals are one such agenda. Actually meeting those targets takes more than planning, however — it requires the stimulation, development, and implementation of citizen-led solutions. With innovation labs and research institutes providing platforms to […]

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems that provide many services. Due to their high soil fertility, they have a long history of being converted to farmland. There is now growing interest in restoring salt marshes to protect against coastal erosion, mitigate sea level rise, and provide increased habitat for birds, fish, etc. Ducks Unlimited Canada […]

Chaque stade glaciaire modifie le paysage. Lorsque les glaces se retirent, le nouveau paysage émerge, le niveau marin augment et les eaux glaciomarines envahissent et submergent les anciens terrains glaciaires. Tracer la limite marine postglaciaire peut révéler d’importantes connectivités hydrologiques et des échanges entre les écosystèmes terrestres et marins qui ont eu lieu et qui […]

What effect do urban trees have on the livability in our cities? What is the economic value of a single urban tree and which ecosystem services does it provide? Where are potential hot spots of invasion by forest invasive alien species? These and many more questions about urban trees are becoming increasingly prominent due to […]

L’écologie de la reproduction de l’épinette noire dans les forêts nordique est peu compris. En particulier, il existe un manque général de données sur la production et la maturation des cônes / graines en fonction des variables climatiques, des caractéristiques abiotiques et des caractéristiques biotiques. Aucune étude n’existe actuellement pour quantifier ces différences sur un […]

Water is vital for life; it is a resource we interact with daily and rely on implicitly. Our reliance on water resources is why water pollution is a global concern. One risk to water quality is elevated levels of toxic trace metals. While metals occur naturally in aquatic environments, human activities can increase natural concentrations […]

My doctoral project targets new solutions to recycle waste heat by turning it into electrical power. In particular, clean electrical power can be generated in a semiconductor when a temperature difference does exist between the hot and the cold side of said material. Our group at INRS-EMT has started a unique research line in Canada […]

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two master’s students who would help advance the methods for modelling energy-climate policies, a field in which EMRG in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research units in the country and in which Navius Research […]
