This project is mostly related to technology research and development.
Energy Conversion Portfolio
Downtown District Steam Optimization
The PREWAVES-Patterns project aims to develop and test new space metal fuel instruments, and validate those instruments in low-gravity parabolic flights. This project will ensure that the Canadian team can take part in the sounding rocket launch during the TEXUS 56/57 missions, as well as well as support the development of metal fuels as a zero-carbon energy solution consistent with a future low-carbon society.
Advancing aerosol thermodynamics modeling for air quality – from high fidelity to reduced-complexity
Peary caribou, muskoxen and their predators: the value of Indigenous Knowledge in informing species recovery
The HELIX project will measure the energetic particles bombarding the Earth, known as cosmic rays, using a detector carried to an altitude of 45 km by a stratospheric balloon launched from the coast of Antarctica. The flight will result in data that will lead to a deeper understanding of the magnetic fields and interstellar material in our region of the Milky Way galaxy. In particular, it will help determine the origin of the rising fraction of energetic antimatter which has been found in the cosmic rays.
Understanding photochemical reactions on surfaces of aerosols and snow/ice, and identification of ice-nucleating aerosols
Short term and seasonal sea-ice forecasting of the St-Lawrence Seaway
Social Media and Crowdsourcing Assessment of Weather Impacts
Research to improve the representation of weather, clouds, and radiation in the Arctic from the assimilation of multispectral infrared and far infrared radiances
Supervised classification of Canadian/Northern weather
This project aims to develop and optimize a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction platform in the laboratory to be incorporated with the prototype MICRO life detection platform with several low mass, compact, low cost and low energy instruments. The proposed extraction platform could be robotized and integrated into future planetary exploration space missions.
Research to enable the assimilation of surface-sensitive satellite measurements to improve near-surface weather forecasting over land
Regional-scale planning for a protected areas network that addresses the habitat requirements and connectivity needs of multiple wildlife species
This project aims to study flares from Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, using JWST/MIRI and Chandra. By characterizing mid-IR spectral changes and X-ray emission, the observations will distinguish between flare models, probe accretion processes, and reveal the physical conditions near our closest supermassive black hole.
Welcome international students from a wide range of countries and territories on a short-term study and research exchanges as part of the Emerging Leaders in the Americas and/or Study in Canada Scholarships Programs.
Measurement of methane emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells in Western Canada
Benchmarking the impact of assumptions and simplifications in parameterizations of equilibrium gas-particle partitioning in air quality/climate models
