Grants and Contributions

It will conduct R&D to improve mapping of submerged vegetation and coastal ice.

The SSHRC Doctoral Scholarships aim to develop research skills and assist in the training of highly qualified personnel by supporting students who demonstrate a high standard of scholarly achievement in undergraduate and graduate studies in the social sciences and humanities.

Detailed design work for the relocation of an ice packing facility to support the commercial fishing industry in an Indigenous community.

The project aims to capture a foothold of the Canadian oxide removal market initially and industrial/municipal de-icing needs.

This project serves as an early-stage initiative to strengthen the organization’s ability to scope, prioritize, plan, design, implement, and manage AI-centric solutions and technologies throughout the organization for both internal efficiency and revenue-centric initiatives.

Spaceflight produces deleterious effects on multiple physiological systems (e.g., cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, and postural controls) with astronauts in isolation and confinement (IC) in a microgravity environment. IC studies conducted on the ISS and the ground generally demonstrated altered neuro-immunomodulated responses, whose mechanisms may be related to chronic stress dysregulating the central nervous system (CNS). However, the effects of IC on CNS insult and multi-omic responses are yet to be investigated.

This contribution supports the Guardians of the Ice to create an exhibition that highlights the rugged, ephemeral and inspirational landscapes of the Columbia Icefield area.

Tutchone Tours will expand their seasonal operations into winter tourism

Developing a management software for teams operating within the Incident Command System (ICS) framework.

Extended exposure to the isolated and extreme conditions at the Concordia station may induce mental fatigue, a state associated with mood disturbances, safety concerns, and work errors. The BREEZE-project aims to comprehensively evaluate mental fatigue, sleep, and physical fitness during an Antarctic overwintering campaign by tracking psychological, (neuro)physiological, and behavioral parameters. Assessments will include questionnaires on fatigue, sleepiness, coping strategies, and mood, as well as polysomnography, exercise heart rate, genotype analysis, arterial oxygen saturation, actigraphy, and activity diaries. The study will focus on interindividual differences and their stability over time. Additionally, two countermeasures will be tested: acetazolamide supplementation to improve sleep quality and reduce mental fatigue, and oxygen-enriched physical exercise to enhance performance and consequently mitigate fatigue. Ultimately, the project aims to map mental fatigability changes and elucidate genotype-related variability in response to extreme environments. This multidisciplinary approach will advance understanding of fatigue mechanisms and inform development of effective interventions.
