Quantifying Environmental and Anthropogenic Impacts on Coastline Instability at Point Pelee National Park (PPNP) and Peninsula

The focus of this project is to measure the historical and current rates of shoreline change around Point Pelee National Park (PPNP) and Peninsula. This information, combined with survey, climate, land use, and statistical data, will provide a better understanding on the primary causes, locations, and timings of significant shoreline change trends observed within the […]

Integration of Safety Analysis into Model-Based Systems Engineering

In recent years, there has been a rapid advancement of technology and an increased use of computer models to develop aircraft and aircraft systems. Unfortunately, safety assessment procedures have remained largely document-based, and thus have struggled to keep up with such rapid design changes. The objective of this project is to develop a solution that […]

Development of Ultra High Strength (>1GPa) Vanadium Microalloyed Dual Phase Steels For Automotive Lightweighting

Reducing CO2 emissions and improving the crash-resistance of passenger vehicles are two objectives that Canadians all share. One excellent technique to do both at the same time involves substituting existing body components with new advanced high strength steels (AHSS) that are produced with higher tensile strengths (better energy absorption and better anti-intrusion properties) and thinner […]

Telehealth group interventions for addictions in a community mental health setting during the COVID-19 pandemic

Health services delivered over the internet, often referred to as telehealth services, are becoming an increasingly important way of providing healthcare. This has been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessary shift to online service delivery for many organizations that followed. Although there is some evidence that telehealth delivered mental health services are as […]

Thin-film photocatalyst development for Solar-Driven GHG Conversion to Fuels

Solar-driven dry-reforming is an ideal solution for recycling greenhouse gasses (GHGs) while producing valuable chemical feedstock. These anthropogenic emissions of the GHGs are the leading cause of global climate change. Furthermore, these emissions are related to the manufacture of fuels and carbon-based products. Solar fuels technology addresses both of these issues. Solistra is developing photocatalyst […]
