Alberta Soil Carbon Characterization Project

Croplands are labeled as “climate change mitigators” given their ability to trap carbon dioxide (CO2) as soil organic matter (SOM). SOM is a complex mixture of compounds, primarily carbon (C), derived from plant litter’s decomposition. Healthy soils are now part of “verified C markets”, which are corporate programs in which enrolled farmers receive money for keeping SOM in the ground. Metrics of success are often limited to bulk soil C stocks. This is a critical limitation – not all SOM is created equal and may behave differently in the environment depending on their properties. Within the framework of the “Alberta Soil Carbon Quantification Project”, an Alberta-based C initiative, we propose to study SOM composition among the province. This work aims to provide science-based information for managing soil C at the farm level, taking into account processes that define its potential as a SOM reservoir and resilience in a warming climate.

Project Manager Intern

I am anticipated to be working in the marketing and product development of the Athlete Character Evaluator which is a question-based test that through the use of behavioural and psychological analytics gives an understanding of the athlete’s mental makeup based on 25 different personality ranges. The test is based upon the premise that athletes that succeed have similar identifiers such as the deep desire to succeed and a willingness to sacrifice. Having something to identify that grit and other success indicators can allow for athletes to better understand themselves, and what they can do to succeed.
I will be working on this project largely independently and identifying potential partners in order to create an accurate analytical test that provides upwards of 25 characteristic identifier points. This process will allow me to develop relationships with a variety of potential partners as well as organize meetings and profit-sharing agreements between the involved parties.
The significance of this project lies in its ability to open an entirely new market to METL and then the integration of it’s current main product into the offering of the product to allow for a high-level comprehensive offering of services. This will provide an area of growth for METL during the pandemic and as consumer behaviour for interacting with each other shifts drastically.

Telework Business Analyst

This internship will require the intern to research successful telework practices and describe these findings in a written report. The report should outline the key research findings and provide recommendations on the implementation of a telework program. The research will then present these findings as part of their final deliverable. Once the internship is complete, the expected benefit will be the use of the internship’s research to guide the implementation of a telework program.

Brainstorming marketing strategies, and turning those ideas into real-life plans whether that is a new ad campaign, a print ad, a landing page, or systematic results documenting, client work is always evolving. The role of the interns is to help manage client projects and ensure an overall organized workflow process. The business is currently porting to new and more robust marketing automation tools along with exploring others such as Active Campaign and Lucky Orange.

Development of a multiplexed readout for microwave kinetic inductance detectors

As new generations of millimetre-wavelength cosmology experiments look to detect ever-fainter signals, they require ever-increasing levels of sensitivity. Because modern detectors and readout systems already operate at such high levels of performance that they attain the physical limit imposed by the photons they detect, any improvements in sensitivity must instead come from increasing the number of detectors that an experiment operates. The next-generation experiment on the South Pole Telescope, SPT4, proposes to achieve this by adopting a detector technology which is new to this scale of experiment, the microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID).The first major deployment of these detectors for scientific means at millimetre wavelengths, this represents a significant technical challenge, as existing systems on the telescope must be either majorly overhauled or developed anew. These systems centre around the transport of signals into and out of the cryogenic equipment which houses the experiment’s focal plane. The development of these systems involves testing with MKIDs, which are operated at sub-Kelvin temperatures (100mK) and require highly specialized experimental setups, such as are available at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and at the University of Chicago.
