Effects of floodgates on growth and survival of out-migrating juvenile salmon

Flood control structures such as floodgates and dikes have created numerous small-scale barriers for Pacific salmon in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia restricting access to historical fish habitat. Floodplains
were historically used as overwintering habitats by juvenile coho and Chinook salmon, making them critical to the growth and survival of these species. Lack of connectivity to overwintering habitats may lead to early
outmigration of juvenile salmon to estuaries where they may be too small to compete for habitat and resources with other species and make them easy targets for predators. This study is comparing three different types of floodgate structures, which vary in their ability to allow water exchange between offchannel areas and the river, and their ability to pass juvenile salmon. We will assess over-winter survival and
and growth using PIT tag tracking and relate these features to environmental factors in each floodplain. Our results can be used to inform habitat managers about how best to design and implement flood control
structures that best protect juvenile salmon.

Système de Télésanté Intégré pour la Prévention et la Gestion Précoce des Maladies Cardiovasculaires

Selon l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS), les troubles cardiovasculaires représentent la première cause de décès dans le monde et la deuxième au Canada. En raison de la pandémie de COVID-19, le taux de mortalité lié à ces maladies a augmenté, ce qui a rendu la télésanté indispensable pour assurer la sécurité des patients et des professionnels de santé. Notre projet se concentre sur le développement et l’implémentation d’un système de télésanté intégré, axé sur la prévention et la gestion précoce des maladies cardiovasculaires à base de l’intelligence artificielle. Ce système permettra aux professionnels de santé de suivre les patients à distance et en temps réels et d’intervenir rapidement en cas d’alerte, assurant ainsi une prise en charge optimale et rapide. Vitalité à sélectionner et valider les technologies portables, en mettant l’accent sur la technologie BraveHeart Wireless Cela permettra une surveillance précise et continue des paramètres biométriques des patients, améliorant ainsi les résultats en santé et réduisant les coûts des soins.

Visual programming for public engagement in natural resource management

Sustainable fisheries typically require well-designed management systems that are developed collaboratively with communities, fishers, and stakeholders. Thus, developing such systems requires putting engagement and science communication on equal footing with the technical and quantitative aspects of science. This project will investigate novel integration of existing software platforms to produce user-friendly toolkits that democratize access to foundational fishery science by technical and non-technical audiences alike. The products of this project will lead to nimble integration of technical advice with substantive facilitation and audience engagement, along with opportunities for self-directed learning and access to curated aspects of fishery science that support natural resource management.

Changements climatiques et productivité forestière

Depuis 2005, la possibilité annuelle forestière au Québec est calculée par le Forestier en Chef à l’aide de logiciels perfectionnés qui utilisent des données empiriques pour prédire les volumes de bois futurs. WSP est souvent appelé à travailler sur ces calculs. Cette méthode supporte l’hypothèse que ces conditions vont se maintenir au court des rotations futures. Or d’importants changements climatiques et atmosphériques (CC et CA) sont prévus dans les prochaines années. Cette hypothèse apparait donc obsolète. Dans les pessières à mousse, la productivité ligneuse dépend principalement de la disponibilité en azote (N). Les sources de N pour la forêt boréale sont limitées à la pollution atmosphérique et à la fixation biologique du N2 (FBN). Cette dernière peut atteindre 50% des apports annuels en N. Bien que certaines études aient démontrées que les cyanobactéries des mousses étaient très sensibles aux CC et CA, ce processus a été peu étudié. Ce projet a pour objectif de combler ces lacunes.

Toronto Centre of Learning and Development Business Strategy Internship

This project, through the development of designs for the Toronto Centre of Learning and Development, aims to create products as well as educational tools. The specific product designs developed during this period can act as a launch point for social enterprise that could be taken direct to market, or used as a foundation to further develop products for the market. Additionally, these tools will be educational thus equipping the community of the CL&D with a design thinking process that enables them to create their own economic opportunities.

Political ecology of mining: the linkage between resource governance and environmental injustice

With the increasing global demand for minerals and metals, environmental and social harms caused by extractive industries will worsen unless the sector is paid careful attention to. Resource-use decisions are shaped by political economy forces that often lead to degradation of the local environment. The sector has also threatened the survival of marginalised communities and indigenous peoples, whose lands and habitats are often seized and altered for mining activities. Environmental defenders and activists are even being killed, with the cases often left unsolved. All these issues are severe and are linked to the political economy of resource extraction. The present research will look at the linkage between natural resource governance and environmental injustice in Myanmar in the civil war context. Canada is a leading country in the mining industry, not only within its own borders but also overseas. As such, it is crucial for Canada to gain insights into mining practices occurring elsewhere. This research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on mining-related issues and provide Canadian researchers and policymakers with valuable insights into the complexities of resource extraction in developing countries.
