Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

High-latitude Lake and River Dynamics Resources Hazards and Climate Change
23SUESHIGH
High-latitude surface water dynamics are complex, fast-moving, and driven by snow, rainfall, ice, and permafrost. Modeling efforts to understand the mechanisms, and to predict variability due to natural processes and climate change, often lack basic hydraulic measurements, or the spatial and temporal coverage, or the information is poor.

RCM-derived sea-ice deformation at high resolution for advanced Prediction of Arctic sea-iCE
23SUESDEFO
When internal loads from surface winds and ocean current reach critical threshold in shear, compression or tension, sea ice floes slide relative to another along fracture planes where large amounts of heat, moiture and salt are exchanged between the ocean and atmosphere. We propose to use the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images from the Canadian RADARSAT Constellation Mission to create a new high-resolution (1 km) sea ice deformation dataset with full Arctic coverage and higher temporal resolution when compared with existing RADARSAT-1-derived products. This new data set will be used to develop a new granular-physics sea ice model.

Advancing Arctic Sea Ice Monitoring using Next-Generation Radar Satellite
23SUESMONI
This project focuses on improving Arctic sea ice monitoring from satellite technology. By combining C-band and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and developing a machine learning algorithm, the project aims to enhance the accuracy of sea ice information.

Operational Sea Ice Mapping Using Deep Learning Applied to Satellite Image and User Collected Data
23SUESDEEP
Following a first-place success in the European Space Agency’s AutoICE Challenge, the Vision and Image Processing Lab (VIP Lab) is continuing to advance state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms towards the automation of operational sea ice mapping using remotely sensed and ancillary data. Manual ice charting is very time consuming and limited in the number of images that can be processed.

Assessing the Potential of the SWOT Mission for the Retrieval of Freshwater Lake Ice and Overlying Snow Properties
23SUESLAKE
Freshwater ice thickness and snow water equivalent provide a proxy for monitoring climate, however both are difficult to derive from conventional satellite observations. This project utilizes data from the Surface Water Ocean Topography Mission during the Fast Sampling (daily) and Science Data Collection (11 day repeat) phases to retrieve ice thickness and SWE for Kluane (Yukon) and Teshekpuk (Alaska) Lakes. Two sensors are utilized: 1) Ku-band altimeter, which has been shown to retrieve ice thickness from waveforms, and 2) Ka-band interferometric syntheric aperture radar that has demonstrated capability for snow retrievals, but has not been tested for snow on ice.
