Grants and Contributions

The objective of this AO is to support Canadian students to participate in national and international space conferences and training events that will offer them the opportunity to learn about and be involved in the latest developments in space science and technology, to develop their professional network, and in some cases, present their research results at the national and international level.

Sedimentary rocks exposed at the Martian surface offer an information-rich record of the planet's past environmental conditions and biological habitability. Curiosity's expected exploration of unique sedimentological units in Mount Sharp offer exciting opportunities for exploring the interplay between climate, water, and biological habitability at the critical time in Mars' past when water-rich conditions existed and hence could have originated life. This proposal seeks to leverage our team's expertise in quantifying and modeling these geochemical and hydrological processes and Curiosity's prowess as a roving field geologist and mobile laboratory to develop a framework for interpreting past Martian climate and habitability.

This project consists of a comparative case study between Poland, Belgium and the Netherlands to examine their approach to research, investment and procurement of dual-use technologies (AI, quantum, etc.) and analyze lessons learned, policies and investments.

To support the federal government’s commitment to maintain a strong and effective publicly funded health care system through investments in emerging and demonstrated innovations in priority areas, such as palliative and end-of-life care, home and community care, mental health care and other federal, provincial-territorial and emerging priorities.

Astronauts need to know where they are relative to their spacecraft as they move about in microgravity. The Principal Investigator (PI) team’s previous experiments demonstrated that astronauts adapt quickly to the novel perceptual environment of the International Space Station (ISS) and can reliably estimate how far they have moved in a straight-line using vision alone. However, other experiments have demonstrated that the perception of self-rotation in microgravity may be disrupted. The PI team’s proposed experiment assesses how effectively an astronaut can keep track of their starting position (their “home-base”) after experiencing a combination of linear and rotational visual information indicating motion along a three-dimensional path typical of that experienced in the ISS. Motion will be experienced passively and participants will judge the distance travelled and the direction of home-base following the motion. Keeping track of one’s home-base is a critically important skill for emergency egress or efficient travel. Understanding errors made will suggest compensatory strategies.

This project aims to develop an AI and satellite-based tool to enhance boreal caribou habitat mapping in the Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam community, adding a spatio-temporal dimension and supporting research.

This project aims to enhance satellite-based mapping and monitoring of coastal ecosystems, with an initial focus on Eeyou Istchee, where the Cree Nation has reported habitat degradation. It will conduct R&D to improve mapping of submerged vegetation and coastal ice.

This project aims to leverage Earth observations from satellites, drones, and ground-based technologies (e.g., mobile phones) to improve the ability to quantify, map, and monitor biodiversity in the complex mosaic of land use and land management of agricultural landscapes.
