Grants and Contributions

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.

Multi-terabit ‘Smart’ Optical Transceivers will be developed for intra-satellite switching systems for the deployment of future Low Earth Orbit (LEO) space satellite networks. The expected deployment of many thousands of LEO satellites for largescale global space connectivity by OneWeb, SpaceX and others, requires reliable and incredibly high-speed connections within the satellite itself. These types of satellites are effectively massive data routers – like terrestrial networks – required to switch many terabits/sec of data from free-space optical laser links from other satellites and the ground. However, they will also have to do this while moving at speeds greater than 18,000 km/hr while being bombarded with high energy particles. This project will require robust laser and advanced Silicon Photonics designs for high channel count, high-speed optical fiber transceivers between computing chips inside the satellite done using advanced optical transceiver devices. In addition, more complex data-path processing using ‘smart’ optical devices based on the idea of optical digital logic will be developed.

Joining the leadership in the space observations of climate change, Canada aims to contribute three instruments, TICFIRE, ALI and SHOW, jointly known as HAWC, to co-fly with the other instruments in the NASA-led AOS satellite mission. This project proposes to conduct research activities and organize dedicated community workshops to establish and grow the Canadian science development team (SDT) for AOS/HAWC before launch. The research activities will focus on four essential areas of the HAWC science: satellite data comparison techniques, weather forecasting, climate modeling, and other science applications. Specifically, the four proposed sub-projects will explore i) impact of geophysical variability and trajectory hunting techniques for satellite data comparisons, ii) satellite detection of snowfall and snow accumulation across Canada’s North, iii) thermodynamic anomalies and their radiative impacts in extreme weather events, and iv) cloud feedback and its far infra-red signature in global climate models. The outcomes are expected to further the development of higher-level data products, science applications and services, advancement of the technology to integrate AOS/HAWC data in weather and climate modeling, e.g., through data assimilation or process-level model validation, and establishment of methods to transfer the geophysical information to society such as for policy guidance and economic benefits. With the growing community awareness and interest, the contribution for this project will also be used to leverage additional funding, such as the NSERC/Alliance, to support HAWC science and applications development in other areas such as policy and economics.
