Use of a Tesla turbine for energy recovery in the mining industry and energy generation from biomass

The objective of the proposed project is to develop economical and sustainable

technologies which contribute to the energy needs of the mining industry. The Tesla

turbine is simple in construction, compact and tolerant to the working fluid composition.

These advantages make it a potential ideal solution for use in energy recovery from

industrial sites or extraction from alternative sources such as biomass and plants grown

around the mines.

Modelling the use of landscape features by caribou to guide the restoration of mine sites

Central mountain populations of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) have been in decline due to logging, mining, and gas development within their range and are designated as Threatened under Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. This project will develop a caribou habitat restoration model (CHRM) for the Quintette Mine located in British Columbia. The Quintette Mine once comprised of alpine ecosystems that supported caribou; however, caribou no longer use the areas altered by mining. As part of the mine reclamation plan, steep slopes will be re-contoured to improve access and foraging opportunities for caribou. Using geospatial data and previous literature, the model will predict how caribou may use the mine site under future re-contouring scenarios to identify priority restoration areas. This model will guide future reclamation activities that facilitate the recovery of alpine ecosystems and encourage re-use of the mine site by caribou.

Regression Models for Credit Card Strategies

ATB Financial is a large Alberta based full service financial institution. The Card Services

department was formed 5 years ago and is growing rapidly. The Card Strategy team within

Card Services is developing models and processes to manage marketing campaigns, credit

risk management, collections and fraud effectively. The intern will support the team by

providing expertise and assistance with model specification and estimation, model validation

and management reporting. These duties require advanced knowledge of statistical

regression models and their applications.
