The main objective of the project is to investigate metal-fuel combustion using a microgravity platform on board of the Falcon-20 parabolic aircraft, where the effects of particle settling, and natural convection are suppressed. Through this microgravity research, critical understanding on metal flame combustion can be achieved by investigating its propagation limit, and the understanding is improved with complementary ground-based research that examine additional parameters, such as burning velocity, flame temperature, and combustion products. In the present project, it is expected that new u
The program Advancing Accessibility Standards Research (The Program) funds the project. The Program funds research projects. The projects try to find, take away and stop obstacles to accessibility. This research will help to guide accessibility standards in the future.
Developing the foundations of metal–oxygen combustion technology for space propulsion and energy storage is the focus of the current proposal and is also linked to a broader goal of advancing metals as carbon-free carriers of clean energy on Earth. This project proposes to analyze experimental data from a space sounding rocket experiment, tentatively scheduled for launch in 2027 from Esrange Space Center in Kiruna (Sweden), and to direct the experiment’s progression in real time through ground-to-space telemetry. In addition, the project will complement the flight mission through a range of gr

The proposed project aims to strengthen community involvement and leadership in polar bear research; generate community-based findings to inform polar bear science, management, and conservation policy; support the development of self-sustaining, youth-engaged research programs; and promote the broader adoption of non-invasive, community-led research methods across Arctic regions and subpopulations. The project also aims to establish a broader community-based polar bear research network linking Foxe Basin with ongoing initiatives in Southern Hudson Bay and other Arctic regions. By fostering col
The proposed project builds on an existing project to support community-led polar bear research by supporting the development of a community-led polar bear research network, providing comprehensive training on non-invasive sampling techniques, fostering knowledge exchange among participating communities, and culminating in the acquisition and ownership of polar bear data.

Astrobiology and the search for life in our solar system is a major focus of planetary exploration. Life detection instruments available are currently focused on identification of habitable environments or on detection of presence of life; these instruments remain relatively high mass, large in size, and have high energy requirements. The project aims to further develop two detection platforms for space exploration and optimize these components in an end-to-end space-like mission using analogue environments in the Canadian high Arctic. The proposed instrumentation and platform could be robot
Astrobiology and the search for life in our solar system is a major focus of planetary exploration. In the coming decades, astrobiology investigations will be primarily focused on Mars, Europa and Enceladus which are characterized by extremely cold temperatures. In this context, the Devon Island Subglacial Lake complex, discovered in 2018 and lying ~600 m under the Devon Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic, represents the first hypersaline subglacial lake complex discovered on Earth with estimated temperatures of ~-12°C and a salinity of ~14% (4.5 times greater than the oceans). These conditions ma
Support for the establishment of a Canadian Biodiversity Observation Network- Research Element
The exploration of the Moon will have to rely on the In-situ resource utilization (ISRU) of Lunar material. This is particularly true for propellants, whose transport from Earth is too expensive. Lunar rocks present a cheap and abundant source of propellant mixtures, as the oxidizer (oxygen) and fuels (metal alloys) can be relatively easily extracted with existing technologies. The purpose of the project is to advance the design of a propulsion technology, based on the combustion of ISRU-derived metal alloy/liquid oxygen propellants. The main objective of the study consists in providing expe

This project aims to elucidate cosmic dawn and the dark ages through observations of the radio sky with two custom-built telescopes in the Canadian high Arctic: the Mapper of the Intergalactic medium Spin Temperature (MIST) and the Array of Long Baseline Antennas for Taking Radio Observations from the Seventy-ninth parallel (ALBATROS). These telescopes will advance scientific knowledge while simultaneously serving as platforms for prototyping instrumentation and measurement techniques for future space missions. The project objectives focus on in-depth calibration tests using MIST and ALBATROS.

The upper-troposphere and lower-stratosphere (UTLS) is a critical atmospheric region that influences the Earth climate. However, the thermodynamic conditions in this region are insufficiently observed and poorly simulated in current weather and climate models. In this project, we will integrate the measurements of Canadian and international satellites to better understand the distribution of clouds, temperature and water vapor and their co-variabilities in the UTLS region and incorporate the observational constraints in the modeling process to improve the simulations of the Canadian models.

The proposed innovative development will be guided by space-based observations and cutting-edge machine learning approaches. The developed model will be applied to understand evolving inundation characteristics and their impacts on the local climate and region of influence, for different future greenhouse gas emission scenarios. The findings of this research will inform decisi
