It consists in a unique partnership between the Canadian mining and space industries and the government. An overarching goal and long-term objective of this Chair is to develop state-of-the-art science instrumentation to enable science-based robotic exploration of the Solar System and to increase the rates of development and production in mines. This Chair will focus on the scientific
Deep Energy Retrofits
The Research component of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Class Grant and Contribution Program to support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future. The Announcement of Opportunity “ Capacity Building in SS&T – Clusters Pilots” aims to contribute to the development of Future Canadian Spa
The surface of Mars has been under exploration by landers and orbiters for decades. From the planetary geologists point of view, there are three critical pieces of information that enable us to determine the rock type: mineralogy, chemical composition, and textures. Mineralogy is the most important of these. Most rover instruments measure chemical information from minerals. It is desirable to deploy an instrument to obtain complementary crystal structural information from minerals. The project will enable continued development and testing of a Miniaturized in situ X-ray Diffract
The goal of this project is to better constrain the formation of clay minerals on Mars through Mars analogue missions deployed at three clay-bearing terrestrial field sites with two comparable EMRF (ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover mission) instruments. This project aims to provide insights into further development and validation of these instruments and train the next generation of planetary explorers. The objectives of this work are to provide additional inputs into the design and validation of the instrument “Enfys” – the newly funded spectrometer replacing the former Russian ISEM instrument
Astronauts face several health challenges while exposed to the harsh space environment. The immune system is one of the most severely affected systems. The main objectives of this study are to use Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging to investigate the effects of microgravity on Tumor-Associated Macrophages density within tumours, and to investigate the effects of microgravity on macrophage recruitment to sites of inflammation. The findings from this project will contribute to the understanding of how the immune system ages here on Earth.
Understanding the evolution of Mars will give us new insight into the habitability of planets and global climate change. It is critical that we characterize its water ice reservoirs to understand its hydrologic system and how it has changed over time. This has profound implications for the search of life on Mars and for future human explorers who will require an accessible source of water to sustain long-term operations. The IMAP project aims to enhance our understanding of glacial and periglacial processes on Mars through the investigation of terrestrial analogues in the Canadian High Arctic
This project entitled "" Application of RADARSAT-2 polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for geological mapping and resource exploration in the Canadian Arctic "" has the objective to develop new tools and techniques using RADARSAT-2 imagery to improve geological mapping, land use management and assist resource exploration in the Canadian Arctic.
Multi-scale Monitoring of Methane Emission from the City of London W12A Landfill
Modern planetary rovers and orbital instruments generate multiple data products. However, data transmission capacity from space to Earth is currently limited. This can result in observations not being made and experiments not being performed because there is no bandwidth available to get the data back to Earth. In order to maximize the return from field explorations, rovers and satellites of the future will need the ability to make independent decisions about what to explore and transmit preliminary analyses of data to Earth. This project aims to develop and field test algorithms and systems

The objectives of the “Exploring Other World's by Exploring Our Own” initiative are fourfold. The first and second objectives are to increase awareness of Canadian space science and technology among Canadian youth and to inspire them to consider a career in science by engaging them in activities related to planetary science. The project will design and deliver age-specific activities using an inquiry-based teaching philosophy through which primarily grade 9 students can learn about the Earth and the universe. The initiative will also increase awareness of Canadian space science and technology
Following the Announcement of Opportunity published on Dec. 18, 2020, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to allow one of its scientists to participate in the 2022 ExoMars Rover mission in the role of co-investigator.
The Rosalind Franklin Rover PanCam instrument suite will be capable of identifying geological materials important for past microbial life—hydrated minerals. As a Co-I on the PanCam instrument team, Dr. Christy Caudill will support the mission by producing a novel hydrated mineral identification strategy and predictive model that will cross-correlate rover-derived data with orbitally derived data. Key to this model is a PanCam instrument-specific mineral toolkit combined with rover exploration strategies. This research addresses the highest priority Planetary Geology and Geophysics, and Astrob
This project will support the 2016 ExoMars TGO/CaSSIS mission operations and science. Science investigations under the Impact Cratering and Composition & Photometry science theme groups are emphasized herein. Impact cratering has shaped the geology of Mars and influenced volatile exchange between its lithosphere, hydrosphere/cryosphere, and atmosphere. These interactions are recorded in surface minerals revealing a complex history and insights into both past and present processes, climate and habitability.

This project will use volcanic terrains on Earth as analogue sites for the future exploration of Mars. This project aims to determine the roughness of lava flows using radar remote sensing data, to compare the roughness of the lava flows as observed in the field to remote sensing data, and to understand the rheological rationale for the observed lava flow texture. It will allow the scientific community to have a deeper understanding of volcanism on Mars.
This project aims advance the detection and characterization of extrasolar planets and their atmospheres by observing and studying the host stars and brown dwarfs that are most amenable to discovering potentially habitable planets. The results of the project will leverage Canada's contribution to the James Webb Space Telescope by furnishing some of the best targets for the study of exoplanetary habitability.

A series of missions have captured observations of the lunar surface, which together with analysis of lunar samples and lunar meteorites has led to advancements in our understanding of the origin and geology of the Moon. However, there are still many unanswered questions, such as whether the Moon has a differentiated core and whether there was a period of cataclysmic bombardment. This project will address key questions related to impact cratering on the Moon, for example, determining what types of rocks and what impact setting(s) provides the most accurate age for a crater. The project will
